|
## Essentials
|
|
|
|
The Public API accepts multiple modes of authentication being via API Key or [Infisical Token](/documentation/platform/token).
|
|
|
|
- API Key: Provides full access to all endpoints representing the user without ability to encrypt/decrypt secrets in **E2EE** mode.
|
|
- [Infisical Token](/documentation/platform/token): Provides short-lived, scoped CRUD access to the secrets of a specific project and environment.
