  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SATELIT_KEY}` },
});
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.credits);

import json, os, urllib.request

req = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.satelit.md/v1/rates",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['SATELIT_KEY']}"},
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as res:
    body = json.load(res)
print(body["data"], body["meta"]["credits"])

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://api.satelit.md/v1/rates");
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ["Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("SATELIT_KEY")],

Without a key

GET /v1/sample works without a key: rate, cap, news and the day's digest. This is how you see the shape of the data before you sign in.

Try it in the console

Conventions

Language: ?lang=ro|ru|en|uk, default ro.
Dates: YYYY-MM-DD. Times are ISO 8601, with a time zone.
Money: in lei (MDL), as numbers.
Methods: GET, HEAD and OPTIONS. The API only reads.
CORS: *, no cookies. You can call the API straight from the browser, but do not put a paid key in a public page.

The response envelope

All routes answer the same way. meta.attribution is the line your plan requires you to show on the page. meta.page appears only on lists.
