HTTP requests can be authorized using access keys. Access keys are attached to roles to limit the scope of what they provide access to. Access keys can be managed via https://app.bird.com/settings/security/access-keys
Keep in mind to always limit the access keys permissions by assigning the minimum required access roles to it
In this example we will create an access key that will attach the access role that was created in the access roles example
The first step is to give the access key a meaningful name and description.
Next attach one or more roles to the access key
Finally create the access key
In order to authenticate HTTP requests with an access key, you must provide it in the Authorization HTTP header with the following format. Replace <access-key> with your valid access key.
