# Authentication

> Learn how to authenticate requests to the bunny.net APIs.

To authenticate requests, include your API key in the request headers.

## Header

| Header      | Value        |
| ----------- | ------------ |
| `AccessKey` | Your API key |

The API key is required for performing account-specific actions, such as managing zones or other resources. You can have only one API key associated with your account, which can be viewed anytime in the dashboard.

<Info>
  You can learn how to locate your API key in the
  [dashboard](https://dash.bunny.net).
</Info>

<Note>
  The Stream and Edge Storage APIs use the same `AccessKey` header, but require
  their own credentials. Use the library API key for Stream, or the storage zone
  password for Edge Storage, instead of your account API key.
</Note>

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.bunny.net/dnszone \
  --header 'AccessKey: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

<Warning>
  Ensure your API key is stored securely and never shared publicly to prevent
  unauthorized access to your account.
