  1. Navigate to the ‘Products’ tab (a product being a singular or collection of APIs) then ‘Truly Wireless'.

  2. To access the API you will need to request and be issued an API Key via secured email. The key should be passed in the HTTP header using the x-api-key custom header.

  3. You can test the API Key in the Try it feature of the Beacon API from the API List.
