Quickstart
Make your first Nora API call in under five minutes.
1. Get an API key
Sign in to the Nora dashboard, switch to the Sandbox environment in the top bar, and open Settings → API Keys. Click New API key, copy the secret — it is shown exactly once.
See Dashboard → API keys for the full UI walkthrough.
2. Make a request
Every call uses the X-API-Key header. Let's hit the hello endpoint
to confirm your key works:
curl https://staging.api.nora.finance/v2/hello \
-H "X-API-Key: $NORA_API_KEY"Expected response:
{ "hello": "world" }A 401 response means the header is missing, wrong, or the key was
revoked.
3. Fetch your workspace info
curl https://staging.api.nora.finance/v2/info \
-H "X-API-Key: $NORA_API_KEY"The response includes your organization, instance (sandbox / production), and available capabilities.
