# Aperçu de l'API et Authentification

### **Qu’est-ce qu’une clé API ?**

Une clé API est un identifiant unique qui vous donne accès à l’API AiKYNETIX. Elle agit comme un jeton sécurisé que vous devez inclure dans chaque requête API pour authentifier et autoriser votre accès.

**Comment utiliser votre clé API**

* **Inclure dans les en-têtes de requête :**\
  Pour chaque appel API, ajoutez votre clé API à l’en-tête `Authorization` dans le format suivant :

```
API-KEY: <your_api_key>
```

* **Exemple avec cURL**&#x20;

```bash
curl -X GET https://api.aikynetix.com/v1/your-endpoint \
  -H "Authorization: API-KEY YOUR_API_
```

* **Sécurisez votre clé :**\
  Ne partagez jamais votre clé API publiquement. Si votre clé est compromise, régénérez-la immédiatement depuis votre tableau de bord.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aikynetix.app/fr/api-documentation/api-key-management/api-overview-and-authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
