Hi @moondaddy ,

but the client app calling is is getting an error and is looking for a results key

1. What is the error you encountered?Is it a 401 error?
2. Did you enable authentication in WebAPI?
   1. If you use authentication in WebAPI, then when you send a request from the client, you need an authorization request header with credentials.
   2. Do you want to send API Key from the client?If this is the case, you can write:

      $.ajax({  
        type: 'GET',  
        url: 'xxxxxx',  
        headers: {  
          "APIKey":"APIKeyValue"  
        }  
      

      });

      var client = new HttpClient();
      client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("APIKey", "APIKeyValue");
