You have to connect Kaiten with an API Key.
A key is an electronic token used instead of a password. Kaiten permanent tokens give you security and have the following benefits:
- Secure authorization without implementing complex OAuth 2.0 flows.
- Simple to manage: If you suspect your connection has been compromised, you can revoke the token at any moment and generate a new one.
- Granular access to operations: A permanent token lets you perform operations it has permission to only.
