# Authorize Requests to WhatsApp API

Every request to the WhatsApp API needs to be authorized using API Key authentication. Adding the **MB-API-KEY** in the header with your unique API Key as a value is enough to gain permission.

Every API Key is connected to one phone number. We authenticate and choose the right WhatsApp Business Account and Number based on your **MB-API-KEY**.

Our WhatsApp portal will be available soon. On this portal, you will be able to deploy a new number using Facebook's new embedded signup process and then generate an **MB-API-KEY** for your phone number to be able to authorize your calls to our WhatsApp API endpoints.
