    In order to access the api, you'll need to generate an API key. Refer to the
    instructions [here](/docs/decipher/api#section/API-Keys) to generate and
    configure an API key with the appropriate permission sets. You can generate
    as many keys as required.

    Configure each request to include your API key in the request header. For example:
