### Authorizations

**Authorization**

string

**header**

**required**

An API key is a token that you provide when making API calls. Read more about [how to secure your project](/content/docs/learn/security/basic_security/index.html).

Include the API key to the `Authorization` header, for instance:

```
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 6436fc5237b0d6e0d64253fbaac21d135012ecf1'
```

If you use a SDK, ensure you instantiate the client with the API key, for instance with [JS SDK](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-js):

```
const client = new Meilisearch({
  host: 'MEILISEARCH_URL',
  apiKey: '6436fc5237b0d6e0d64253fbaac21d135012ecf1'
