This assumes you have created and filled out a taxonomy.
API authentication is a key part of every API (reminder, they are automatically generated whenever you create a taxonomy) and can be found on your API details page. Your API details page is linked from the home page as well as the taxonomy detail page.
Classr uses a two-component authentication via an API Key and Secure Token.
It is possible to regenerate the API Key and the Secure Token . To do this, click on the “Generate New” button. Note, this will also invalidate any previous versions, so be very careful!
When do you use Authentication?
- For any software development use case. The two factor API authentication is a key part of any development project.

How can you test your Authentication?
To test your API outside of the Classr API docs interface, we recommend the use of Postman, a free API tool.
