🔐 Authentication
To access the ExerciseDB API, all requests must be authenticated using a valid RapidAPI key. There are two supported methods for authentication:

✅ Method 1: API Key as Query Parameter
Append your RapidAPI key directly to the request URL using the rapidapi-key query parameter.

fetch("https://exercisedb.p.rapidapi.com/exercises?rapidapi-key=YOUR_API_KEY")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

This method is simple and works well for client-side apps and testing environments.

✅ Method 2: API Key in Header
Alternatively, you can include the API key in the X-RapidAPI-Key header.

fetch("https://exercisedb.p.rapidapi.com/exercises", {
  headers: {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  },
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

This is commonly used in server-side applications or where you want to keep the key out of the URL.

⚠️ Common Issue: "You are not subscribed to this API"
If you receive an error message saying:

"You are not subscribed to this API."

This usually means your RapidAPI key is valid, but you haven’t subscribed to the ExerciseDB API through your RapidAPI account.

To resolve this:

Visit the ExerciseDB API listing on RapidAPI.
Click Subscribe to Test or select a pricing plan.
Once subscribed, use the provided API key in your requests.

📌 Notes
The base URL for all API requests is: https://exercisedb.p.rapidapi.com
You only need to use one authentication method per request — either query parameter or header.
Using the query parameter is quick and convenient for testing or client-side apps.
Using the header is recommended for server-side or production environments to keep the key out of URLs.
If you receive a 401 Unauthorized response:
Double-check that your API key is active and correctly entered
Ensure you're not sending both authentication methods at once
Make sure your Host is set to exercisedb.p.rapidapi.com if your platform requires it
