Chainstack API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the platform UI. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Provide your API key as the Authorization header. The value of the header consists of Bearer prefix and secret key generated through the platform UI.

curl -X GET 'https://api.chainstack.com/v1/organization/' \
