# Agency

### 🔐 Agency Authentication

Agencies accessing the Swoove API must authenticate using **Bearer Tokens**. These tokens are issued when the agency logs in through the[ Agency Panel](https://panel.swoovedelivery.com/settings/configs), and must be included in the `Authorization` header of each request.

#### 🔑 How to Authenticate

To authenticate an agency request, include the Bearer token in your headers:

```
Authorization: Bearer <your-token-here>
```

#### 🔁 How to Obtain a Token

1. Log into the [Agency Panel](https://panel.swoovedelivery.com)
2. Move to the Configurations tab of the Settings page
3. Click on the "Create" button on the App Tokens section/Card to have your Token prepared&#x20;
