## Using Your Token


You can authenticate by adding an `Authorization` header to all your HTTP calls. The `Authorization` header is formatted as such: 

`Authorization: Bearer <token>` (replace `<token>` with your token previously generated).

The url for API endpoints within OnlySocial is as follows:

`https://app.onlysocial.io/os/api/*`


**Example:**
    
```js
curl -L -X GET 'https://app.onlysocial.io/os/api/3bbd0951-5b04-432b-b2a0-688588b0720e/accounts' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer myCoolToken'
