# Authentication

**Authenticate Your Integration**

To interact with Arcadia’s API, you must generate a developer token. This token is used in the `Authorization` header of all requests and is currently active only in the testing environment.

**Steps:**

1. Click “Generate Token” to create your test token.
2. Use this token across all documentation examples and integration snippets.
3. Regenerate if needed. Tokens can be managed directly from this portal.

⚠️ *Important*: This is for development only. Mainnet usage will require verified credentials.
