# Authentication

To access and use the Playfix APIs in your project, you will need to provide your unique access token in the request header.&#x20;

Generally, the Playfix authenticates and authorizes requests using an access token based on one of the following two levels:

* **The account level** - This authorizes access to all Playfix API resources for an account.
* **The project level** - This authorizes access to Playfix resources in a specific project only.

This section will walk you through the Playfix API authentication and authorization process and how to get your access token.
