# Authentication

To access the CurbIQ API, you need to provide a token. To obtain your CurbIQ token, please reach out to us at <contact@curbiq.io>.

### Using Your CurbIQ API Token

To make API requests using your token, include the token as a query parameter named curbiq\_token. You do not need to pass the token in headers. Instead, include it in the URL of your API request.

### Example Request

```
# Replace YOUR-USER-TOKEN with your actual CurbIQ token
curl "https://v2.curbiq-curb-api.io/curbs/zones?curbiq_token=YOUR-USER-TOKEN"
```
