 That's it! We derive most of the security mechanism from the use of HTTPS, most notably confidentiality (of the API key as well as the data sent and received), integrity (data cannot be altered while "in transit") and mitigation against man-in-the-middle and re-play attacks. That's it! We derive most of the security mechanism from the use of HTTPS, most notably confidentiality (of the API key as well as the data sent and received), integrity (data cannot be altered while "in transit") and mitigation against man-in-the-middle and re-play attacks.
  
 +Here is a quick way to make your first API request:
 +  
 +  curl -v -X GET -H "Authorization: DREAM apikey=\"YOUR-API-KEY\"" https://apply.uni.edu/api/institutions
  
 +On the request above, ''apply.uni.edu'' is the domain for your DreamApply installation. It may also be in the form of "your-uni.dreamapply.com" if you have not yet configured the domain in DreamApply settings. Tip - you can add ''| python -m json.tool'' to the end of the command if you expect to receive JSON data (not all API queries return JSON) to prettify the output.
