Spreadshirt Authentication API is one of 8 APIs that [Spreadshirt](https://apis.io/providers/spreadshirt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Authentication. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

The Spreadconnect API allows you to connect to the Spreadconnect system and lets you manage your products, submit orders and get them fulfilled via requests. To make sure that the requests send to the Spreadconnect API are indeed allowed to fetch and change your data in the Spreadconnect system, they first need to be authenticated. You can authenticate your requests to the Spreadconnect API by using your **Spreadconnect API Key**. **How do I get my Spreadconnect API Key?** 1. **Login** into your account or register a new one at https://login.spreadconnect.app. 2. Under **"Connect Integration"** create a new Spreadconnect API Integration. 3. The **Spreadconnect API Key** for this Integration can be found on the **Dashboard** or at the **Integration Settings** page. *For a more detailed explanation visit https://faq.spod.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020927339-How-do-I-get-started-with-the-API* Now you can authenticate your requests by adding *X-SPOD-ACCESS-TOKEN* parameter with your **Spreadconnect API Key** as the value in the header of your request. *Example:* ``` curl 'https://api.spreadconnect.app/authentication' -H 'X-SPOD-ACCESS-TOKEN: {insert your Spreadconnect API Key}' ``` **Always keep your Spreadconnect API Key private!** Anyone who has your **Spreadconnect API Key** can access and manipulate your Products, Orders, etc. that are managed by the API Integration linked to this key. So be careful not to share it.
