# Authentication

Feedspace API uses Basic Authentication for all API requests. You must provide your API Key and Secret Key in the `Authorization` header using the Basic Auth scheme.

⚠️ **Keep your credentials secure!** Do not share your API Key or Secret Key with others or expose them in any client-side code (browsers, apps). Credentials should be securely loaded from an environment variable or key management service on the server.

Credentials are provided via the `Authorization` header in the following format:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS
```

Where `BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS` is the Base64 encoding of `api_key:secret_key`. You can obtain your API Key and Secret Key from **[Feedspace → Automation → API](https://app.feedspace.io/automation/api)**.

### Example Request

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.feedspace.io/v3/{ENDPOINT} \
  --header 'Authorization: Basic <encoded-value>'
```

All API endpoints require authentication using valid Basic Auth credentials.
