Welcome to our API Authentication guide! This page provides you with all the necessary information to understand how to authenticate requests to our API.

Authentication Methods

Our API supports several authentication methods to ensure secure access. Here are the most commonly used methods:

  • Basic Authentication: This method uses a username and password to authenticate requests. It is recommended for simple use cases.
  • Bearer Token: This method uses a token to authenticate requests. It is more secure and recommended for production environments.
  • OAuth 2.0: This is an authorization framework that allows third-party applications to access protected resources on behalf of a user.

Setting Up Authentication

To set up authentication, follow these steps:

  1. Create an API Key: Go to your account settings and generate a new API key.
  2. Configure Your Application: Add the API key to your application's configuration file.
  3. Send Authentication Headers: When making requests to the API, include the appropriate authentication headers.

Example Request

Here's an example of how to send a GET request with Basic Authentication:

GET /api/users HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com
Authorization: Basic <API_KEY>
