The Admin API uses secret API keys for authentication. All API requests must contain an Authorization header, containing your secret key in the format specified by the Bearer Authentication scheme: 
Authorization: Bearer <PROFICIENT_SECRET_KEY>
You can create and delete secret keys in Project Settings. Secret keys are strings that start with sk_.
Never expose your project’s secret keys in the frontend (e.g. browser or mobile apps). You should store your secret keys securely in your environment secrets and never commit them to version control.
