# Authorization - Bearer token

Each Spark user has access to a temporary Bearer Token, a form of credential that can be used to access the Spark APIs.

## Access the bearer token

1. From the [Navigation menu](/navigation/navigation-menu.md#user-menu), choose the *Bearer token*.
2. In the resulting modal, the bearer token can be copied and used from a platform that supports OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens.

## Use a Bearer token 

Most APIs on Spark will accept a Bearer token. Include it in the request header of the API call under the `Authorization` key.

Not every API key supports [Authorization - API keys](/spark-apis/authorization-api-keys.md), so sometimes Bearer tokens are required. Bearer tokens can be systematically generated through the use of [Client Credentials](/identity-and-access-management/client-credentials.md).
