# Quick Start

## Authentication

All DCKAP Integrator API's needs to be authenticated using [bearer token](#authentication-using-bearer-token) or access token.

### Authentication using Bearer Token

{% hint style="success" %}
This is the recommended approach.
{% endhint %}

As a first step, bearer token should be generated from the DCKAP Integrator account. Refer the below link to fetch the access token.

{% content-ref url="../user-guide/api-access-keys" %}
[api-access-keys](https://docs.dckapintegrator.com/user-guide/api-access-keys)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Once the token is generated, it should be passed in the API request headers like below. The *{generated\_access\_token}* should be replaced with your token.

```
{
    Authorization: Bearer {generated_access_token}
}
```

## Bearer Token Example
