# Introduction

## Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Welcome to the GarryPanel API documentation.

The API makes use of POST, GET, PATCH and DELETE requests.

## Authentication <a href="#authentication" id="authentication"></a>

> To authorize, use this code:

```php
# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
  -H "Authorization: Bearer api"
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: Application/vnd.pterodactyl.v1+json" \
```

> Make sure to replace `api` with your API key.

You can obtain an API key from the Account API page within Pterodactyl. Remember, protect your API key as if it was a password.

We expect the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

`Authorization: Bearer api` You must replace `api` with your API key.

## Ratelimits <a href="#ratelimits" id="ratelimits"></a>

To prevent abuse, the GarryPanel API has a ratelimit in place.

Up to 60 requests are allowed per minute.

The amount of requests left can be found within the reply header.

| Header                | Description                                    |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| x-ratelimit-limit     | The amount of API requests allowed per minute. |
| x-ratelimit-remaining | The amount of API requests left.               |
