Our API uses API key-based authentication to ensure secure access. Every API request must be authenticated by including your API key in the HTTP request headers. Below is a detailed guide on how authentication works:

- **API Key Inclusion:**  

    All API requests should include your API key in the `Authorization` HTTPS header. The format should be as follows:
    ```yaml
    Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>
    ```
    Replace `<YOUR_API_KEY>` with your actual API key obtained from the platform.
    
- **Obtaining Your API Key:**

    1. **User Registration & Login:** 
	    - Start by signing up or logging into the Aurora platform.
    1. **Service Account Creation:**
        - Navigate to your account’s organization settings.
        - In the API section, create a service account under the appropriate project.
    2. **Generate API Keys:**
        - Once the service account is created, generate one or more API keys.
        - These API keys are tied to specific projects of the service account and are used to authenticate your API calls.

- **Error Handling for Authentication:**

    - **403 Forbidden:** If your API key is missing, incorrect, or does not have the necessary permissions, the API will return a 403 error.
    - **Tips:** Ensure that the API key is correctly formatted in the header and that it hasn’t expired or been revoked.
