This is a complete guide to integrating with the Mida platform. All Mida platform APIs require authentication using an API key. Your API key must be included in the `Authorization` header of every request as a Bearer token. ``` Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY ``` Requests that do not include a valid API key will be rejected with an authentication error (`401 Unauthorized`). ### Get your organisation API key To start, you need to get your organisation API key [here](https://collect.getmida.com/) Your API key is generated and managed through the **Mida Collect** platform. To retrieve your API key: 1. Log in to **MidaCollect**. 2. Navigate to **Administration** → **Organisations**. 3. Select your organisation. 4. Click the **API** tab. Your API credentials will be displayed here and can be used to authenticate requests to Mida APIs
