# Authentication

### How to generate my API Key?

From Setting page > API Key section, click "Generate API Key" and name your key. The key will be automatically generated.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Copy your API key and store it in a secured place. You'll not be able to see it again then, to avoid any security issue.
{% endhint %}

Then, use your API key as in the following request to authenticate:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```json
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.cloud.sesterce.com/gpu-cloud/instances/offers \
--header 'X-API-KEY: <your-api-key-secret>'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
