# Authentication The Tability API uses Personal API tokens to authenticate requests. You can view your Personal API token from your **Account details** page accessible at . Most API calls are scoped to a specific workspace, and your user account will need to have the **API access** setting enabled for that particular workspace (see [Setup guide](/api/getting-started/setup-guide.md)). ## Authenticating requests To authenticate your requests, you will need to provide your Personal API token in in the `Authorization` header of the request: ```bash curl -H "Authorization: API " https://api.tability.app/v2/whoami ``` Personal API tokens are tied to the corresponding Tability user account. **Using the token will provide the same level of access and privileges as the associated Tability user would have in the specific workspace.** {% hint style="warning" %} Keep your **Personal API tokens** secured! Do not share them in emails, chat messages, client-side code or publicly accessible sites. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
