2. Testing Your API Key

After exporting, test your key by running this command:

TextCopy
1curl -X 'POST' \
2    'https://connect.getseam.com/workspaces/get' \
3    -H 'accept: application/json' \
4    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SEAM_API_KEY}" \
5    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
6    -d '{}'

A successful response confirms your API key is working.
