# Authentication

Authentication is done via the App ID & API key which you can find in your account settings.

Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the basic auth username. You do not need to provide a password.

You can also refresh your API keys if you believe that it has been compromised.
