# Authentication

> How to authenticate Coaxial API endpoints

To access any Coaxial API endpoint, you must include a Coaxial API Key as a Bearer Token in your request "Authorization" Header.

```bash theme={null}
'Authorization': 'Bearer <coaxial_api_key>'
```

## API Keys

Coaxial API Keys are secrets generated through the Coaxial Dashboard. Do not share your API key with others, or expose it in the browser or
other client-side code. You can find and create API Keys in your [Coaxial Profile](http://app.coaxial.ai/dashboard/profile) under the "API Keys" tab.
