Example of authentication

Every API call requires key-based authentication. The client must provide a secret key in the HTTP request headers named IXBC-SECRET-KEY.

Send this header with each GET request. The API currently only uses GET requests.

Header name	Header value
`IXBC-SECRET-KEY`	`test_secret_456789`

Note: This test key is free to use for integration development and provides data only from 2019 and 2020.
