# Introduction

### Authorization

The Authorization API grants access to the Bloxs platform by issuing JWT bearer tokens. Developers call this API as the first step of any integration, exchanging an API key and API secret for a token, then including that token as a Bearer credential on requests to the other Bloxs APIs.

The reference contains two endpoints:

- [**Authorization**](/v1-api/apidocs/authorization-2): generates a JWT token from an API key and API secret. The API key identifies the user within the client application, and the API secret identifies the client application itself and is used to hash the token.
- [**Test**](/v1-api/apidocs/test-if-your-authorization-key-works): verifies that a previously issued Bearer token is still valid, without performing any business operation. It is typically called right after authentication, or when troubleshooting integration issues.
