How to Use

Passing this token with header on your calls will grant you to access. Let me show you with one example on weather api.

Get request to 'weather/getWeather' endpoint with our Token :

curl -X GET \
  'https://api.collectapi.com/weather/getWeather?data.city=ankara' \
  -H 'Authorization: {Your Token Here}'

The Result:

{
    "success": true,
    "result": [
        {
            "date": "20.02.2019",
            "day": "Çarşamba",
            "icon": "https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/143/143769.svg",
            "description": "açık",
            "status": "Clear",
            "degree": "13.26",
            "min": "-4.11",
            "max": "13.26",
            "night": "-4.11",
            "humidity": "41"
        },
        {
            "date": "21.02.2019",
            "day": "Perşembe",
            "icon": "https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/143/143769.svg",
            "description": "açık",
            "status": "Clear",
            "degree": "8.84",
            "min": "-7.38",
            "max": "9.61",
            "night": "-3.58",
            "humidity": "51"
        },
        {
            "date": "22.02.2019",
            "day": "Cuma",
            "icon": "https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/143/143786.svg",
            "description": "az bulutlu",
            "status": "Clouds",
            "degree": "5.33",
            "min": "-8.66",
            "max": "7.98",
            "night": "-3.32",
            "humidity": "59"
        },
        {...}
    ]
}

As you can see above, passing your token on the headers with Authorization keyword, we could use the weather api's 'getWeather' endpoint and get the result with anything else. That's it. You can use it wherever you want.
