## Welcome
There are two ways to build API documentation: [OpenAPI](https://mintlify.com/docs/api-playground/openapi/setup) and [MDX components](https://mintlify.com/docs/api-playground/mdx/configuration). For the starter kit, we are using the following OpenAPI specification.

## Authentication
All API endpoints are authenticated using Bearer tokens and picked up from the specification file.
```json
"security": [
{
"bearerAuth": []
}
]
```
