API Key received from

Example:

x-http-authorization: <\>

| ### Parameters | Key | Type | Description | | ---------------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ce\_id\* | String |

The ID of the Company or Certified Entity.
