# Authentication

> You can set authentication parameters to let users use their real API keys.

## Enabling authentication

You can add an authentication method to your `docs.json` to enable it globally on every page or you can set it on a per-page basis.

A page's authentication method will override a global method if both are set.

### Bearer token

<CodeGroup>
  ```json docs.json
  "api": {
      "mdx": {
        "auth": {
          "method": "bearer"
        }
      }
  }
  ```

  ```mdx Page Metadata
  ---
  title: "Your page title"
  authMethod: "bearer"
  ---
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Basic authentication

<CodeGroup>
  ```json docs.json
  "api": {
      "mdx": {
        "auth": {
          "method": "basic"
        }
      }
  }
  ```

  ```mdx Page Metadata
  ---
  title: "Your page title"
  authMethod: "basic"
  ---
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### API key

<CodeGroup>
  ```json docs.json
  "api": {
      "mdx": {
        "auth": {
          "method": "key",
          "name": "x-api-key"
        }
      }
  }
  ```

  ```mdx Page Metadata
  ---
  title: "Your page title"
  authMethod: "key"
  ---
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### None

The "none" authentication method is useful to disable authentication on a specific endpoint after setting a default in docs.json.

<CodeGroup>
  ```mdx Page Metadata
  ---
  title: "Your page title"
  authMethod: "none"
  ---
  ```
</CodeGroup>
