# Authentication

> Optional API key and device headers for FileScanner.

# Authentication

FileScanner supports optional authentication headers.

## Headers

* `X-API-Key: <api_key>` (optional)
* `X-Device-Name: <device_name>` (optional)

Some clients may also pass these as multipart fields (`apikey`, `devicename`) instead of headers.

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://6465762e76312e7363616e.slayers.tech/api/scan" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $FILESCANNER_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Device-Name: $FILESCANNER_DEVICE_NAME" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/file"
```
