# Authentication

> How to authenticate with the Automindz API

All API endpoints require authentication via an API key in the `Authorization` header.

## Getting your API key

Contact the Automindz team to get your API key.

## Using your API key

Include the key as a Bearer token in every request:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.automindz.co/v1/hiring-signals/leavers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... }'
```
