All API requests require a valid API key provided in the X-Api-Key header.

Include your API key in every request using the X-Api-Key header:
curl -X GET "https://api.whitepages.com/v1/person/" \
-H "X-Api-Key: your-api-key-here"Keep your API key secure. Do not expose it in client-side code or public repositories.
