<Info>
  **Handy Tips**

  * We use `Basic Auth` for authorising Partner requests.
  * These credentials are mode-specific. In addition to the API Key ID and Secret, provide the sub-merchant identification in the API requests in the header.

## How to Use Partner Auth in APIs

To your API request:

1. Add the basic auth with partner credentials (client\_id and client\_secret).
2. Add the `account_id` of the sub-merchant using `X-Razorpay-Account` in the header.

You can use Partner Auth for all [Razorpay APIs](/docs/api).

Below is an example for [Orders API](/docs/api/orders).

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash GET Request theme={null}
  curl -u [CLIENT_ID]:[CLIENT_SECRET] \
  -X GET https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Razorpay-Account: acc_Ef7ArAsdU5t0XL" \
  ```

  ```bash POST Request theme={null}
  curl -u [CLIENT_ID]:[CLIENT_SECRET] \
  -X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Razorpay-Account: acc_Ef7ArAsdU5t0XL" \
  -d '{
      "amount": 10000,
      "currency": "INR",
      "receipt": "1"
  }'
  ```
