How do I pass authentication in API?

You can pass in the API Key to our APIs either by using the HTTP Basic authentication header or by sending an api_key parameter via the query string or request body . If you use our client library CARTO. js, you only need to follow the authorization section and we will handle API Keys automatically for you.

Users of the REST API can authenticate by providing a user ID and password to the REST API login resource with the HTTP POST method . An LTPA token is generated that enables the user to authenticate future requests. This LTPA token has the prefix LtpaToken2 .
