# Authentication

All calls to our API require an authentication header:

| Key           | Value                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Authorization | Bearer \<YOUR API KEY> |

{% hint style="warning" %}
In the above value, replace \<YOUR API KEY> with the your unique API key.
{% endhint %}

***

**Retrieve Your API Key:**

1. [Log in](https://app.whiteswan.io/partner_log_in) to your White Swan Partner account.
2. Navigate to the [partner integrations page](https://app.whiteswan.io/partner_integrations) within your White Swan dashboard. This is accessible via the header menu.&#x20;
3. Select **View API Key** from the API widget and copy the returned API key.

***

**Reset Your API Key:**

If you're having issues with your key or need a new one for security reasons, you can reset your API key in the same popup that you can find the API key as described above.
