If you're not looking to build API reference documentation, you can delete
this section by removing the api-reference folder.
## Welcome
## How to use the API
There are two main options to use the API:
1. You can send an header called `auth` with the token you received when you logged in.
2. You can send a cookie called `auth` with the token you received when you logged in.
The dashboard mainly uses the cookie method to authenticate requests.
But if you want to test the API with Swagger or Postman, you can use the `auth` header.
