# The API

Welcome to the TimeSeal API documentation! This guide will help you integrate and utilize the powerful features of the TimeSeal service seamlessly.

### Getting Started

Before you start using the TimeSeal API, you'll need to sign up for an account and obtain an API key. Follow these steps to get started:

1. **Sign up**: If you haven't done so already, go to the TimeSeal website ([https://www.timeseal.com](https://www.timeseal.com/)) and create a new account. After successful registration, you'll be taken to the dashboard.
2. When you create a new project, an API key specific to that project will be provided to you.
3. **Authentication**: All API requests require authentication using your API key. You need to include the API key in the `Authorization` header of your HTTP requests.

   Example:

   ```makefile
   Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
   ```
4. **Base URL**: The base URL for all API endpoints is `https://api.timeseal.com`.
