# Authorization

cNGN authentication mechanism relies on the API Key, used when making API calls from your server.\
\
[Click Here](https://docs.cngn.co/getting-started/security/generating-api-keys) to generate your API Key&#x20;

Api Key should be parsed as Bearer token on the header;

| Name          | Value              |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| Content-Type  | `application/json` |
| Authorization | `Bearer <apiKey>`  |
