# Authentication

Covver's authentication is based on OAuth.
To authenticate your API requests, you will need to:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get Your Credentials">
    Get your `clientId` and `clientSecret` from Covver's dev team ([rnd@covver.io](mailto:rnd@covver.io)).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Access Token">
    Use your credentials to create an `accessToken` (see below).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the Access Token">
    Add the `accessToken` in `Bearer Authentication` for each API Request.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creating Access Tokens

There are 2 ways to create access tokens:

* [Using your ClientID and ClientSecret](/api-reference/auth/create-oauth-tokens)
* [Using a refresh token](/api-reference/auth/refresh-token)
