JavaScript / Fetch API:

javascript
// JavaScript example (with API key)
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY; // Store your key securely

fetch("https://docs.bic-boxtech.org/", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    // Or use: "X-API-Key": apiKey
    // Check the docs for the correct header format
  }
})
  .then(response => {
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(data => {
    console.log("API response:", data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error("Error fetching from BIC-Boxtech:", error);
  });

api_key = os.environ.get("API_KEY")  # Store your key securely

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
    # Or use: "X-API-Key": api_key
}

response = requests.get("https://docs.bic-boxtech.org/", headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print("API response:", data)
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
