# Authenticating
This page covers authentication for non-native requests using the `HTTP API` enrichment. If you're using [native EmailBison enrichments](/low-code-tools/clay/enrichments), authentication is handled automatically through your connected workspace accounts.
Requests to EmailBison need to be authenticated with an [API Key](/get-started/authentication).
You can either send a header with an `Authorization` key each time you add a new `HTTP API` enrichment, or you can save this header to your `accounts` so you can select it from a dropdown.
### Saving the headers to your accounts
There are text and video versions of this section.
Click the tab icons above this tip to switch between them.
If you have already done these steps, you can select an account from the dropdown under `Account` to authenticate requests in this column with.
1. In your Clay HTTP API enrichment, scroll down to `Account`.
2. Click `+ Add Account`.
3. Put in a friendly name, such as `EmailBison Workspace A`
4. Click `Add a new Key and Value pair`.
5. In the `Key` field, input `Authorization`.
6. In the `Value` field, input `Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` (the word Bearer, a space, and your [API Key](/get-started/authentication)).
7. Click `Save`.
8. You can now select this account from the `Accounts` dropdown for any future columns you add to your Clay workspace.
