### Introduction

Bearer token authentication is one of the common authentication methods for accessing REST API. Use this authentication method if the REST API requires you to include an authentication token after `Bearer` as the value of the header `Authorization`. For example:

```auto
Authorization: Bearer AUTH_TOKEN_HERE

```

### Guide

Step 1: Go to HTTP authentications \> Create a new HTTP authentication.

Step 2: Select “Bearer token authentication” from the list of Settings.

Step 3: Select the Token type.

- If the token is static, you can select this type and fill in the token in the Token field.

- If the token is dynamic, you can set up some configurations to dynamically store the fetched token in a storage. Then, select the storage and fill in the key/storage entity identifier that contains the token.
