# Authentication The Wundaflow API uses API keys in order to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys within the API Console. In order to authenticate, you should send your API key within the header of the request using HTTP Basic Auth. Provide the API key as the basic auth username. You do not need to provide a password: `Authorization: Basic`` `**`your-api-key`** All API requests should be made over HTTPS. Calls using plain HTTP will fail. ### API Key Scopes You can create multiple API keys within the API Console and can scope them according to their specific requirements. For example, yuou may choose to enable access to read-only endpoints for a given API key that may run on an untrustworthy host. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
