Editing API Key (section)

==Obtaining==
The player must have at least three other relics in order to obtain API Key.<ref name="3relics"/>

API Key is obtained by sending a [[wikipedia:POST request|POST request]] to the following endpoint: <code>https://gdcolon.com/zoo/api/zooKey</code>. This can be done using a desktop browser's [[wikipedia:Web development tools|developer tools]]. The request body must contain a [[wikipedia:JSON|JSON]] object, with the player's Discord ID as an <code>id</code> parameter. The player must also provide their [[wikipedia:session token|session token]], either as a [[wikipedia:HTTP cookie|cookie]] or as a <code>Token</code> [[wikipedia:HTTP header|header]].

The server responds with an error, asking for an additional, randomly-selected password (e.g. public IP address / last 3 digits of your token) in the response body. The random selection changes per player. When resending the request with the password included, the API Key is granted.

Below is a working Python example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line="">
import requests
url = "https://gdcolon.com/zoo/api/zooKey" #endpoint
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Accept": "application/json", "Token": ""} #request headers, insert authentication token into the Token header

#id refers to your Discord User ID
#password can be a few things (usually it's your public IP address/last 3 digits of your token). Leave blank at first and see the response to know which password it wants
params = {"id": "", "password": ""}
 
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=params)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)
</syntaxhighlight>

The authentication token is obtained by

1. Logging into gdcolon.com/zoo

2. Going into the Application tab in the Developer Tools

3. Finding https://gdcolon.com under 'Cookies', which is located in 'Storage'.

4. Find the Cookie Value for 'zoo', which is the authentication token.

Here's a website that allows you to run python code. https://reqbin.com/code/python

===Troubleshooting===
'''If you encounter an error while running the code via the aforementioned website, follow these steps:'''

# Install Python
# Save your code in a Python (.py) file, you can use Python itself, Notepad, Visual Studio, anything you want. Save it in your user folder under an easy name (e.g. zoo.py)
# Open CMD (Win+R -> cmd), If you are on MacOS open Terminal from the Launchpad. If you are on Linux you know how to open the terminal already...
# Run the following command: python <span style="color: #666666">[name of the file with the code you saved]</span>
# If you did everything correctly, you should now have the API Key relic!

'''If python says the "requests" library is not installed, run this command in your terminal:'''<syntaxhighlight lang="batch">
python -m pip install requests
</syntaxhighlight>
