# Authentication

The Attuitive API uses API Keys to authenticate requests. These can be managed via the [Attuitive Console](https://console.attuitive.com/app/settings/api-keys).

API keys have a prefix of `sk_`. They are sensitive values that allow access to  your workspace. Do **not** share them publicly such as in code repositories or client-side code.

All requests should be made over HTTPS. Insecure connections, or un-authenticated requests will rejected.
