Getting started and authentication
Get an API key and make your first authenticated call in under five minutes.
ProcureData is served through RapidAPI. Every request is authenticated with your personal RapidAPI key sent as a header, there is nothing to install.
1. Subscribe and get your key
Open the ProcureData listing on RapidAPI, subscribe to a plan (there is a free tier), and copy your key from the Endpoints tab.
2. Send it on every request
Pass two headers with each call:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com/sources' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-host: procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY'import requests
url = "https://procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com/sources"
headers = {"x-rapidapi-host": "procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com", "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY"}
resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(resp.json())const res = await fetch("https://procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com/sources", {
headers: {
"x-rapidapi-host": "procuredata-canadian-government-procurement-api.p.rapidapi.com",
"x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
},
});
const data = await res.json();

A 200 response returns JSON. A 401 or 403 means the key or host header is missing or wrong. See the endpoint reference for every route ProcureData exposes.
