# Making request

To run a request against TCP eStreaming API you should make a proper GET request against on of the API methods, providing all required params.

## Authorization

To authorize you against the API we use `AuthToken` header, which should be passed with each and every request. You always receive one, when you register in TCP.

## Request URL

Typical request URL looks like that:

> <https://api.travelcloudpro.eu/v1/cache/shopping?searchPhrase=20181009IEVIST20181015ISTIEV&pointOfSale=UA&ptc=ADT>

| **URL part**                    | **Description**                                        |
