What is it and what is it for?

To communicate between APIs, we need to establish a security protocol between the parties. Therefore, every interaction you make with Z-API will require your authentication credentials. These credentials compose the integration URL with Z-API, as shown in the example below:

How do I get my ID and Token?

After creating your Z-API account and setting up an instance, you will have two pieces of information that identify and secure the communication between your application and Z-API. To access and view your instance details, simply click edit on the desired instance within the admin panel. You can have multiple instances, each with unique credentials.
Never share your ID and token with anyone — anyone who has this information can send messages on your behalf. Your API calls should be made from a server, never from the frontend, to prevent exposing your authentication data.
