# API Setup

> Accessing and using the Axiom Proving API

## Accessing the API

### Getting an API Key

The API is currently available to invited users only. To get an API key, get
an invitation to the [API console](https://prove.axiom.xyz) from the Axiom team
and create a new key using your account.

### Authentication

All requests to the Axiom Proving API must include an `Axiom-API-Key` header with your API key.
If you are using the Axiom CLI, you will initialize the client with an API key, and the client
will set the API key in every request you make. If you are making raw REST API requests, you
must set this header yourself.
