    ## Authentication


    This API supports multiple authentication methods depending on the endpoint:


    ### Basic Authentication

    Used for workspace-agnostic operations such as:

    - Creating access tokens (`POST /api/v3/token`)

    - Listing workspaces (`GET /api/v3/workspaces`)

    - Managing workspaces (`POST /api/v3/workspaces`, `GET /api/v3/workspaces/{id}`, `PUT /api/v3/workspaces/{id}`)

    - Getting iframe URLs (`POST /api/v3/get_iframe_url`)

    - Listing available recipes (`GET /api/v3/recipes/`)

    etc.


    **Format**: `Authorization: Basic `


    ### Bearer Token Authentication

    Used for workspace-scoped operations after obtaining a token from `/api/v3/token`. The token is scoped to a specific workspace.


    **Format**: `Authorization: Bearer `


    ### Cookie Authentication

    Alternative to Bearer token for browser-based integrations. When using cookie authentication, you must include the workspace ID in the request header.


    **Cookie**: `dts_session_id=`


    **Required Header**: `X-IM-WORKSPACE-ID: `


    ## Workspace Scoping


    Most API operations are workspace-scoped. After authenticating with Basic Auth, obtain a workspace-specific token using `POST /api/v3/token` with the desired `workspace_id`. This token provides access only to resources within that workspace, ensuring isolation between different customers or projects.


    ## Errors


    The automated recipe operations under `/api/v3.1/automated-recipe*` and

    `GET /api/v3.1/connections/{connection_id}/accounts/` return errors as

    `{"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": {...}}`. Branch on `code`, never on the

    message text. See Errors for the catalogue of codes and the shape of `details`.


    All other operations return errors as `{"detail": "error description"}`.'
