# Accessing the API

Host for all API requests:

```httpget
https://distribution.yandex.net/api/v2/
```

The Distribution Interface uses OAuth access tokens for authorizing applications. Each token gives the application access to the data of a specific Distribution user.

To use the OAuth protocol for working with the API, you need to [register your application](https://oauth.yandex.ru/client/new).

After registration, the application can get [OAuth tokens](https://oauth.yandex.com/) for accessing user data in the Distribution Interface.

## Using the token {#use-tokens}

The token issued to your application must be passed in every API call.

Use one of the following ways to pass the token:

- Pass the token value in the HTTP `Authorization` header and specify the `OAuth` type before the value.

    ```no-highlight
    Authorization: OAuth ac3b4...
    ```
    
- Pass it as a query parameter.

    ```no-highlight
    curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -X GET "https://distribution.yandex.net/api/v2/statistics/basic/?oauth_token=55...&lang=ru"
    ```
