+# Making an authenticated request
+To make an authenticated request to our API, you need to ensure that you have a Private App configured on the Gateway, and have taken note of the `app_id` and `client_id`. These credentials must be included in the headers of any API requests where you are managing data.
+
+## Code Examples
+The code examples below demonstrate how to make an authenticated request to the Gateway API using a simple get request for a dataset. Please make sure you replace `YOUR_APP_ID` and `YOUR_CLIENT_ID` with the actual `app_id` and `client_id` you obtained when creating a Private App.
+
+You can also test our APIs from the Swagger documentation in the link below.
