Header (Recommended)

The most secure and recommended method is to pass your access token in an Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <<apiKey>>

Query Parameter

For easier debugging and specific applications, it can be helpful to pass your token in the URL:

https://api.tessie.com/vehicles?access_token=<<apiKey>>

❗️

This is potentially less secure.

We recommend not passing your access token in the URL on insecure networks or behind VPNs where traffic logs could potentially be snooped.
