# Authentication

All API requests are using the Bearer Token Authorization. A Bearer Token will last up to an hour from the time it is generated, allowing multiple API calls to be made securely without authorizing each time.

## Authenticate

Use this endpoint if you want to authenticate and generate the token.

To be able to get your token access, open the Settings page in the Portal, then navigate to the section Webhook & API settings. You will need the username and password.

`Method: POST`

`Endpoint: {{env}}/api/authorize`
