# Authentication

Authentication to the API is performed via `Bearer` token. You can authenticate your request by sending a token in the `Authorization` header of your request. In the following example, replace `YOUR-API-KEY` with your EngineRoom API key. You can request an API key by emailing <dev@engineroom.com.au>

```bash
curl --request GET \
--url "https://api2.engineroom.com.au/public/me" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-API-KEY" \
--header "Accept: application/json"
```
