# Authentication

> Bearer token or query parameter.

API requests should be authenticated by either adding a Bearer Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer [TOKEN]
```

Or by adding the token as query parameter:

```
/v1/balances?token=[TOKEN]
```

For testing purposes, we have created a test client on the sandbox API endpoint with the following token:

```
e4910a5908c3163c3fe2c560da340b23
```

For example, querying the balances of this test client can done by browsing to the following url:

```
https://api.sandbox.forte.cc/v1/balances?token=e4910a5908c3163c3fe2c560da340b23
```

Or by using the following curl command:

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.sandbox.forte.cc/v1/balances \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer e4910a5908c3163c3fe2c560da340b23"
```

Requesting a trade can done by using the following curl command:

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.sandbox.forte.cc/v1/trades \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer e4910a5908c3163c3fe2c560da340b23" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '
{
  "instrument": "AUDF/USDT",
  "side":"sell",
  "price":"0.6",
  "amount":"1"
}
'
```
