# Authentication

Before you can use the GraphQL API, you need to generate API credentials. Paradime supports two authentication methods:

* **Account API Keys** (recommended) — a single Bearer token that can access multiple workspaces. Pass the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header together with the `X-Paradime-Workspace` header to select the target workspace.
* **Workspace API Keys** \[legacy] — workspace-scoped `API Key` and `API Secret` credentials, passed in the `X-API-KEY` and `X-API-SECRET` headers.

Both methods use the same `API Endpoint`.
