# Authentication

> How to authenticate your requests to the Poix API

You'll need to authenticate your requests to access the endpoints in the Poix API. Take a look at how authentication works.

## Bearer Token

When requesting resources, you will need a Token — create one in the [Dashboard](https://app.poix.io/tokens). Here's how to add the Token to the request header using cURL:

```bash theme={null}
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.poix.io/search?q=surfing \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer poix-Y735X4FoO...'
```

Always keep your Token safe and reset it if you suspect it has been compromised.

You can create, revoke or delete your Token in the [Dashboard](https://app.poix.io/tokens). Once created, it will be shown only once so keep it safe.
