# Quickstart

> Learn how to authenticate and make your first request to the Wenium Cloud API.

This guide will walk you through authenticating your requests and retrieving your account profile.

## 1. Generate an API Token

Before making requests, you need a Personal Access Token:

1. Log in to the [Wenium Cloud Dashboard](https://console.wenium.com).
2. Go to **Settings** > **API Tokens**.
3. Create a new token and save the plain-text token value securely.

## 2. Authenticate Your Requests

Wenium uses bearer token authentication. Send your token in the `Authorization` header of all requests:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
```

## 3. Retrieve Your Profile

You can test your authentication by calling the `/user` endpoint:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://console.wenium.com/api/user" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
     -H "Accept: application/json"
```

A successful response will return your user details:

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": true,
  "data": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "status": "active"
  }
}
```
