# Authorization

Our API uses an API key to authorize your requests.\
Upon successfully registering on [**Typless**](https://app.typless.com), an API key is automatically generated for you.\
If you are logged in, you will see your API key: `Token YOUR-API-KEY`.

You can also obtain your **API key** by:

1. Going to the [Settings](https://app.typless.com/settings/profile) page.
2. Copying the **API key** value under the API key section.
