# Step 1: Authorization

Each request to the API requires an authorization token. This identifies you as a GWI customer
and also allows us to look up the access rights that were pre-configured for you.

To use the token, simply send it along with any request in the Authorization header. Once
you have the token, prepend it with `Bearer` followed by a space, so the field looks like
this: `Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

Then add that to the Authorization field in the headers, so that the RAW headers looks
like this: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

TODO link: You can check if your token works properly by calling the token validation endpoint.
