# API tokens
The Marketplace Platform uses API tokens to authenticate requests to the [REST API](broken://pages/c48wsZ6OnZim0prmKKFx).
Your API token must be included in the `Authorization` HTTP header with the **Bearer** prefix for authentication. For example, the following request could be used to retrieve a list of buyers:
```http
GET https://api.platform.softwareone.com/public/v1/accounts/buyers
Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN_VALUE}
```
Your API keys have permissions assigned to them, so keep them secure. Do not share your secret API keys in public areas, such as GitHub or client-side code.
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Requests sent over HTTP or without authentication will fail.
### API tokens page
The **API tokens** page lets account administrators create, view, edit, delete, enable, and disable API tokens.
To open the page, select the main menu, then choose **Settings** > **API tokens**.
Use the API tokens page to view and manage tokens.
On the **API tokens** page, you can view details for each token, including the token name, creation date, status, and more.
You can also select a token to view detailed information organized across several tabs. These details include the token endpoint and secret, event history, and other token‑specific information. For details, see [View API tokens](/modules-and-features/settings/api-tokens/view-api-tokens.md).
