# Authentication API
The Authentication HTTP API is used to manage API keys.
{{% admonition type="note" %}}
If you use Grafana v9.1 or newer, use service accounts instead of API keys. For more information, refer to [Grafana service account API reference]({{< relref "./serviceaccount/" >}}).
{{% /admonition %}}
> If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you would need to have relevant permissions. Refer to [Role-based access control permissions]({{< relref "../../administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/custom-role-actions-scopes/" >}}) for more information.
## Tokens
Currently, you can authenticate via an `API Token` or via a `Session cookie` (acquired using regular login or OAuth).
## X-Grafana-Org-Id Header
**X-Grafana-Org-Id** is an optional property that specifies the organization to which the action is applied. If it is not set, the created key belongs to the current context org. Use this header in all requests except those regarding admin.
**Example Request**:
```http
POST /api/auth/keys HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
X-Grafana-Org-Id: 2
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
## Basic Auth
If basic auth is enabled (it is enabled by default), then you can authenticate your HTTP request via
standard basic auth. Basic auth will also authenticate LDAP users.
curl example:
```bash
curl http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/org
{"id":1,"name":"Main Org."}
```
## Create API Token
Open the sidemenu and click the organization dropdown and select the `API Keys` option.
You use the token in all requests in the `Authorization` header, like this:
**Example**:
```http
GET http://your.grafana.com/api/dashboards/db/mydash HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
The `Authorization` header value should be `Bearer <your api key>`.
The API Token can also be passed as a Basic authorization password with the special username `api_key`:
curl example:
```bash
curl http://api_key:eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk@localhost:3000/api/org
{"id":1,"name":"Main Org."}
```
