# Authentication

All NewsWhip API endpoints require an API key. Each API key is unique to your account, and grants access to the API.

Your API key must be passed with each `GET` or `POST` request as a Query String. For example:

`GET /v1/region/U.S./Politics/24?key=YOUR_API_KEY`\
`POST /v1/articles?key=YOUR_API_KEY`

> ❗️ Security
>
> Your API key should be treated as a password. It should be kept secret at all times.
