# Introduction

Welcome to the Glyde Developer Documentation. Our docs will help you learn how to integrate our payment and verification APIs.

#### API Authentication

We authenticate your requests using your API secret key. This can be found in the settings section of your merchant dasboard.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Sample" %}

```json
{
    "Authorization": "Bearer <secret key>"
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

If you do not include the authorization header in your requests you will get an Unauthenticated error.[<br>](https://app.gitbook.com/o/UTWpnWLupVRXAMIDilJO/s/Op8AxrYyPIMWmSuQwlri/disbursement)
