# Authentication in the Arkane Cloud API

To authenticate, include your *API key* (e.g., `ABC123...`) in the `Authorization` header, as shown below:

```
Authorization: Bearer ABC123...
```

Warning

Keep your keys private; do not share or expose them in client-side code. If a key is compromised, Nebius AI Studio can automatically revoke it.

To get an API key:

1. In Arkane Cloud Platform, go to the [API keys](https://console.arkanecloud.com/management) section.
2. Click **Create API key**.
3. Enter the key name and then click **Create**.
4. Save the displayed API key. You cannot open it later in Arkane Cloud Platform.
