# Authenticate

> Overview of authenticating requests with Upmarket

Upmarket uses api key based authentication. You must provide the header with a api key in order to properly make a call to the API. Here is an illustration of how the header might seem if a valid api key were substituted for it.

```bash theme={null}
'x-upmarket-key': '<generated_api_key>'
```

## API Key

Multiple API keys with various levels of access and authorization can be created from within the **Upmarket platform**. You can create new tokens on the **Settings Page** under **API Keys** section.
