## What Is the Toolip API?

The **Toolip API** offers a streamlined way to configure and manage your proxies programmatically. With its simple design and powerful functionality, you can access your proxy details, monitor usage, generate proxies, and rotate IPs all from a single endpoint.

To get started, you’ll need an **API token**, which can be [generated](https://docs.toolip.io/api-reference/api-token) directly from your Toolip dashboard. The token is required for authentication in both the `authorization` header and the `authtoken` parameter.

## Getting Started with the API

### Authentication

Include your API token in every request to authenticate:

1. **authorization**: Use the format `Basic <YOUR_API_TOKEN>` in the header.

2. **authtoken**: Insert `<YOUR_API_TOKEN>` as a query parameter in the request.

### Common Headers

1. **authorization**: Pass `<YOUR_API_TOKEN>`.

2. **Content-Type**: Set to `application/json`.
