# Making Your First API Call

Now that you have your **App Key** and **Organization Key**, you're ready to make your first authenticated API call and verify everything is working correctly.

## Compose Your HTTP Request

Here’s a sample `curl` request to list all products:

```
curl -X GET https://rest.gormic.app/v1/core/categories \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <App Key>" \
  -H "g-organization: xgh6fg"
```

## Expected Response

```
