# Authorization

All requests must be authenticated with an API key that you can obtain by accessing your [Partner Portal](https://partners.clym.io/) account, navigate to the `Integrations / API Keys` section.

For an additional layer of security, you can specify `IP restriction` when creating an API key, so that it can only be used from the specified IP address. You can also specify when this key will expire and no longer be available by using the `Expires on` field.

Once an API key has been obtained, it must be included in the `HTTP Headers` section of all requests, as follows:

```bash
Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}
```

**Example**

```bash
curl --request GET \
  --url https://partners.clym.io/api/portal/domains \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}'
```

## 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.clym.io/getting-started/authorization.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.
