# Environments & Authentification

## Environments & Authentication

### Authentication

All endpoints require a valid **Bearer token** passed in the `Authorization` header:

```http
Authorization: Bearer {{api_token}}
```

* Tokens are issued per environment and tied to your organization.
* Tokens issued by Apentis do **not expire automatically**.
* If your security policy requires regular rotation, you may request a new token from the Apentis support team.
* Store tokens securely (e.g., in a secrets manager). Do not commit them to code or logs.

See [**Security > Tokens**](/apentis-api/security.md#tokens) for details on token lifecycle, storage, and error codes.
