# Authentication

Every request must include an organization API key in the `Authorization` header:

```
Authorization: Bearer {your_api_key}
```

API keys are scoped to an organization and are currently issued via the Rails console (management UI coming soon). All resources returned are automatically scoped to the key's organization.
