# Authentication

> How authentication works for the Output API

In development, all endpoints are open. In production (`NODE_ENV=production`), requests require Basic auth using the `OUTPUT_API_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable:

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Basic $OUTPUT_API_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  https://api.example.com/workflow/run
```

The `/health` endpoint is always accessible without authentication.
