Authentication
==============

The Orkera API uses API key authentication. You must include your API key in the Authorization header for all requests.

API Key Authentication
----------------------

Include your API key in the ``Authorization`` header using the ``Api-Key`` format:

.. code-block:: http

   Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY

Example Request
---------------

.. code-block:: bash

   curl -X GET https://api.orkera.com/api/tasks/ \
     -H "Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication Errors
----------------------

If authentication fails, you'll receive a ``401 Unauthorized`` response:

.. code-block:: json

   {
       "detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."
   }

Or for invalid API keys:

.. code-block:: json

   {
       "detail": "Invalid API key."
   }

Getting Your API Key
--------------------

To get your API key, visit the `Orkera website <https://orkera.com/>`_ to sign in to your account. Each user has a unique API key for accessing the task scheduling API.
