Let’s call the simplest endpoint and see real data come back. We’ll list the datasets you can read.

​
Step 1 — Open your terminal

On Mac/Linux: Terminal. On Windows: Command Prompt or PowerShell. We’ll use curl, a tool that sends HTTP requests from the command line.

​
Step 2 — Run this command

Replace dd_YOURKEY with your real key: 
curl https://api.trydatadriver.com/v1/datasets \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dd_YOURKEY"

​
Step 3 — Read the response

You’ll get JSON back that looks like this: 
{
  "datasets": [
    {
      "table": "leads",
      "name": "Leads",
      "description": null,
      "row_count": 102345,
      "last_updated_at": "2026-05-09T11:48:41Z",
      "vertical": null
    }
  ]
}
You just used the API. That’s the whole loop: send a request with your key, get JSON. Every other endpoint follows the same pattern.
