#### Authentication

Include your API key in the `x-api-key` header:

```
x-api-key: sc_rest_a1b2c3d4e5f6...
```

The API key can be generated from the dashboard for an External App. It identifies both your app and your organisation — no need to pass an org ID.

Note: The App API key is separate from Org API Key.
