# Quickstart

> Start building your project using the Wrkout API

## Obtain your API key

Go to the [console](https://wrkout.xyz/dashboard/settings) and obtain your API key. You will need this key to authenticate your requests.

## Base URL

All of the endpoints are prefixed with the base URL. The base URL for the Wrkout API is:

```bash theme={null}
https://api.wrkout.xyz
```

The response will be in JSON format.

## Authentication

All of the endpoints require an API key to be passed in the header.

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://api.wrkout.xyz/exercise/3-4_sit-up" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"
```

## Making a request

Head to the [API reference](/api-reference) to see all the available endpoints and their parameters.

The first request you will probably want to make is to fetch the list of exercises available:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://api.wrkout.xyz/exercise/exerciseIds" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"
```
