# Authentication

Authenticating against the Convoy API requires an API key. You can retrieve and manage your API keys from your project settings dashboard. If
your key gets compromised you can re-generate it from your dashboard.

Your API keys are sensitive information. Please do not share in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authorization headers should be in the following format: `Authorization: Bearer API Key`

```bash terminal theme={null}
curl {base_url}/api/v1/projects/{projectID}/{resource}
-H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{ "name": "fintech app" }'
-X POST
```
