### Steps

1. Generate a scoped key from Settings → API Keys (see [Authentication](/docs/getting-started/authentication) ).

2\. Call `GET /plans` with a Bearer token. 3. Verify status, `X-Request-Id`, and response payload structure.

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONETIZEKIT_API_KEY" "$MONETIZEKIT_BASE_URL/plans?page=1&pageSize=5"
```
