# Authentication

The Gatenox API uses company access tokens to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your access tokens in the [Company information](broken://pages/3012dDBTDVVVFHe18KrO) tab in the Settings menu of your Gatenox company account.

API requests are authenticated using the [Bearer Auth scheme](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication#authentication_schemes). To authenticate a request, provide the token in the `Authorization` header of the request:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>" https://api.app.gatenox.com/api/v1/verifications
```

{% endcode %}

Access tokens are tied to the Gatenox company account for which they were created. A token provides full level of access to its associated Gatenox company account.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please be sure to keep your API access tokens secure! Do not share them in emails, chat messages, client-side code, or publicly accessible sites.

If you have accidentally shared an API access token publicly, you can revoke it in the [Company information](broken://pages/3012dDBTDVVVFHe18KrO) of your Gatenox company account by clicking the "<mark style="color:red;">**Block API key**</mark>" link next to the token.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gatenox.com/gatenox-hub-wiki/gatenox-api/overview/authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
