In addition to an API key, one has to specify an API token. There can be one or more tokens in use
for the same API key. The token needs to be sent in a header field called `X-API-TOKEN`.
Right now, it''s not possible to create API keys and API tokens from within Alasco.
If you are interested in using the Alasco API, please reach out to the
[support team](mailto:support@alasco.de). They will assist you in generating a key and token pair.
