# API Docs / Authentication

ZeoRoutePlanner uses API keys to allow access to the API.

You can register a new API key at our platform: [https://zeorouteplanner.com/app/team/settings/genrate-token](https://zeorouteplanner.com/app/team/settings/genrate-token).

ZeoRoutePlanner expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a params that looks like the following:

```json
{
  "api_key": "your_api_key_here"
}
```

**Note:** You must replace `your_api_key_here` with your personal API key.
