# Introduction
Welcome to the Kittn API! You can use our API to can get information on various cats, kittens, and breeds in our database.
This example API documentation page was borrowed from [Slate](https://github.com/slatedocs/slate) and generated with [Pastel](https://github.com/knuckleswtf/pastel). Feel free to edit it and use it as a base for your own API's documentation.
# Authentication
> To authorize, use this code:
```php
# With PHP, you can pass in the correct header with each request
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->get(
"api_endpoint_here",
[
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => 'meowmeowmeow',
],
]
);
$body = $response->getBody();
print_r(json_decode((string) $body));
```
```python
import kittn
api = kittn.authorize('meowmeowmeow')
```
```bash
# With Bash, you pass in the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
-H "Authorization: meowmeowmeow"
```
```javascript
const kittn = require('kittn');
let api = kittn.authorize('meowmeowmeow');
```
> Make sure to replace `meowmeowmeow` with your API key.
Kittn uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can register a new Kittn API key at our [developer portal](http://example.com/developers).
Kittn expects the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:
`Authorization: meowmeowmeow`
# Kittens
## Get All Kittens
```php
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->get("http://example.com/kittens/");
$body = $response->getBody();
print_r(json_decode((string) $body));
```
```python
import kittn
api = kittn.authorize('meowmeowmeow')
api.kittens.get()
```
```bash
curl "http://example.com/api/kittens"
-H "Authorization: meowmeowmeow"
```
```javascript
const kittn = require('kittn');
let api = kittn.authorize('meowmeowmeow');
let kittens = api.kittens.get();
