Authentication
reading time 5 minutes
<div class="ink-cat-header"> To successfully authenticate, send the token header with your request. </div>
<div class="ink-hr"> </div>
Here's an example of the header with a key:value pair. You must provide this in your JSON request if you want to authenticate with the Inkit API.
<Table align={["left","left"]}>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Key
</th>
<th>
Value
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
Authorization
</td>
<td>
Inkit `{api-key}`
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</Table>
> ❗️ You need to replace <i> `{api-key}` </i> with an actual API key, which can be found under the Inkit Dashboard App settings.
Here is another authentication example, but with cURL.
```curl
# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
-H "Authorization: Inkit {api-key}"
How to find the API key or token in the App?
Go to Settings -> API/Integrations and copy Authorization header by clicking on Copy icon.
