Some api calls require authentication. To make the developers life easier, we support a number of different ways of authentication.

1. Using your personal authentication key
   
   We encourage you to use this method of authentication, as you can easily change your authentication key at anytime without having to alter your password. Simply visit this URL to generate your key

   Once you have a key then simply pass it to the api call using the 'auth' param. i.e.:
   http://www.trendrr.com/api/feeds/graph?auth={your key here}&id=386682
   
   
2. Using basic access authentication

3. Setting username and password params
   
   Simply pass in your username and password as parameters. i.e.:
   http://www.trendrr.com/api/feeds/graph?username={your username}&password={your password}&id=386682
