# Making Your First Call

## Quickstart: Verify Your Setup

The best way to confirm your API key is working correctly is to make a simple request to our `health` endpoint. This endpoint requires authentication but doesn't modify any data, making it the perfect first call.

### Prerequisites

* You must have your unique API key from the [Onboarding](../introduction/onboarding) process.

### 1. The Endpoint

We will be making a `GET` request to the following URL:

`https://www.venturu.com/api/partner/v1/health`

### 2. Making the Request

Use your preferred HTTP client or tool, like cURL, to make the request. Remember to replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with the secret token provided to you.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash title="cURL Request" theme={null}
  curl -X GET "https://www.venturu.com/api/partner/v1/health" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. The Successful Response

If your API key is valid, you will receive a `200 OK` status code and a JSON response body similar to this:

```json title="Response: 200 OK" theme={null}
{
  "status": "success",
  "timestamp": "2023-10-26T10:00:00.000Z"
}
```

  Congratulations! You have successfully connected to the Venturu API.
