# Authentication

Export your API key as an environment variable. Seam client libraries automatically pick up this exported key. For example:

```
$ export SEAM_API_KEY=seam_test2bMS_94SrGUXuNR2JmJkjtvBQDg5c
```

Next, run the following code to confirm that you are correctly authenticated:

{% tab title="Python" %}
**Code:**

```python
from seam import Seam

seam = Seam()  # Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

workspace = seam.workspaces.get()
pprint(workspace)
```

**Output:**

```
Workspace(
  workspace_id='00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
  name='Sandbox',
  company_name='Acme',
  connect_partner_name='Acme',
  is_sandbox=True
)
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="cURL (bash)" %}
**Code:**

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://connect.getseam.com/workspaces/get' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SEAM_API_KEY}" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'
```

**Output:**

```json
{
  "workspace": {
    "workspace_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "name": "Sandbox",

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="JavaScript" %}
**Code:**

```javascript
import { Seam } from "seam";

const seam = new Seam(); // Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

const checkAuth = async () => {
  const workspace = await seam.workspaces.get();
  console.log(workspace);
}

checkAuth();
```

**Output:**

```json
{
  workspace_id: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',

{% tab title="Ruby" %}
**Code:**

```ruby

seam = Seam.new() # Seam automatically uses your exported SEAM_API_KEY.

workspace = seam.workspaces.get()

puts workspace.inspect
```

**Output:**

```
<
