Authentication

Every request takes your API key as the apiKey query parameter. Keys are managed in your account, under API Access (one active key per account; regenerate any time).

curl "https://api.biopharmawatch.com/api/v2/fdacalendar?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&ticker=MRNA"
Keep your key secret. It carries your plan's access and rate limit. If a key is exposed, regenerate it from your dashboard and the old key stops working immediately.
