## Authentication Methods

The API authenticates requests with the `X-Aegister-Token`. Send it in either of two ways.

### 1. Header-Based Authentication

Include the `X-Aegister-Token` in the request headers. Prefer this method: it keeps the token out of the URL and out of server logs.

**Example Request:**

```http theme={null}
GET /api/v1/resource HTTP/1.1
Host: app.aegister.com
X-Aegister-Token: your_token_here
```

**Curl Example:**

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "X-Aegister-Token: your_token_here" https://app.aegister.com/api/v1/resource
```

### 2. Query Parameter Authentication

Pass the `X-Aegister-Token` as a query parameter in the URL. Use this method when you cannot set request headers.

**Example Request:**

```http theme={null}
GET /api/v1/resource?X-Aegister-Token=your_token_here HTTP/1.1
Host: app.aegister.com
```

**Curl Example:**

```bash theme={null}
curl https://app.aegister.com/api/v1/resource?X-Aegister-Token=your_token_here
```
