# Credentials & Authentication

> Description of your new file.

### **Credentials**

To use the **Arnio API**, you’ll need credentials available in your **Arnio Dashboard**

**Requesting Credentials**

API Keys are automatically generated when you create an Arnio account and can be found under the **API** section of your dashboard.

**Using Credentials**

Every request to the Arnio API must include your API keys in the request headers. The server expects two authentication headers:

```bash theme={null}
ARNIO-API-KEY-ID:     Your API Key  
ARNIO-API-SECRET-KEY: Your API Secret  
```

### **Best Practices**

* **Do not expose your API keys** in frontend applications.
* Keys should always be used from your backend or server environment.
* For security reasons, Arnio blocks requests directly from frontend clients.
