# Authentication

> Learn how to authenticate with the API.

To begin using the Productlane.com API, you'll need to authenticate your
requests. Start by obtaining your API key from the
[API settings page](https://productlane.com/settings/integrations/api) page. Here you'll find
your API key that you'll need to authenticate the majority of your requests to
the API.

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

Once you have your API key, you'll need to add it to the requests you'll be
sending to the API. When making requests that require authentication, set the
`Authorization` header to `Bearer API_KEY`, where `API_KEY` is the key you
obtained earlier.

That's it! Now you're ready to interact with the Productlane API.
