For authenticating with the API you must include the x-apikey
header with your personal API key in all your requests. Your API key can be found in your VirusTotal account user menu:

Your API key carries all your privileges, so keep it secure and don't share it with anyone. Always use HTTPS instead of HTTP for making your requests.
