When it comes to interacting with APIs, authentication is a critical step to ensure secure communication between your application and the API service. API authentication is performed via HTTP Bearer Auth, which involves including your API key in the HTTP request headers, following the Bearer prefix. This method verifies your identity and grants you access to the API's resources, ensuring that only authorized users can make requests.
AXSMarine uses the header Authorization to authenticate requests.
Your API keys grant significant access, so it’s crucial to keep them safe! Avoid sharing your secret API keys in public places like GitHub, client-side code, and similar locations.
API requests without authentication will fail.
