  6. Your key will be generated. Copy and store the API key in a secure location.

Note

Be careful not exposing and not sharing your API key. It's your responsibility to keep it secure and private.

Pass this token as Bearer in the Authorization header.

Preparing Authentication

We suggest setting up your authentication reusably in the following way.

export SCP_TOKEN="YOUR-API-TOKEN"

import json
import requests

session = requests.session()
session.headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR-API-TOKEN"
}
