# Authentication

> Authenticate your API calls by including your api key in the request header of every request you make. You can manage your API keys from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.yiksipay.com/developers).

If for any reason you believe your api key has been compromised or you wish to reset them, you can do so from the dashboard.

<Warning>
  Secure your api keys<br />
  Do not commit your api keys to git, or use them in client-side code.
</Warning>

Request headers should be in the following format:<br />
`x-api-key:  WALLET_API_KEY `

<Info>
  Sample Request Header<br />
  `x-api-key:  Ysz1aUX52Slt8sEXXrLBaQXjxtdT`
</Info>

API requests made without authentication will fail with the status code<br />
`401:Unauthorized` . All API requests must be made over HTTPS.

<Warning>
  Secure your requests<br />
  Do not set `VERIFY_PEER` to `FALSE`. Ensure your server verifies the SSL connection to Yiksi Pay.
