# Authentication

> Authenticate your API calls by including your api key in the request header of every request you make. You can manage your API keys from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.blockradar.co).

Generally, we provide api key for each wallet you create. The api keys, are to be kept secret. If for any reason you believe your api key has been compromised or you wish to reset them, you can do so from the dashboard.

<Warning>
  Secure your api keys<br />
  Do not commit your api keys to git, or use them in client-side code.
</Warning>

Request headers should be in the following format:<br />
`x-api-key:  WALLET_API_KEY `

<Info>
  Sample Request Header<br />
  `x-api-key:  Ysz1aUX52Slt8sEXXrLBaQXjxtdT`
</Info>

API requests made without authentication will fail with the status code<br />
`401:Unauthorized` . All API requests must be made over HTTPS.

<Warning>
  Secure your requests<br />
  Do not set `VERIFY_PEER` to `FALSE`. Ensure your server verifies the SSL connection to Blockradar.
