# Quickstart

## Authentication

Obtain your API key from the Geolava team. For each request, include:

```
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

in the header. Using the wrong key or omitting the header will lead to a 401/403 error.

## Sandbox vs. Production

* **Sandbox**
  * Base URL: `https://sandbox.geolava.com/v1`
  * Ideal for testing lower-volume or experimental integrations
* **Production**
  * Base URL: `https://api.geolava.com/v1`
  * Designed for higher request rates and enterprise SLAs

#### Simple “Hello World” Example

If you already have a property ID or address, you can test the **Condition Agent**:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.geolava.com/v1/agent/condition" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "address": "ADDRESS_OF_INTEREST"
  }'
```

The response includes condition attributes (roof integrity, foundation, etc.). This verifies your integration is working.
