You can optionally protect your API using API Keys, to enable this functionality you can edit your Connection by clicking the "Edit" button on the top right corner of the connection details page:

Edit Connection

Then go to Advanced Settings and enable the API Key functionality

Protect Your API

You can then make requests using the X-Api-Key, like the examples by the side.
