    </a>
    - Select **Fork Collection**
    - Name your fork and select a workspace
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate Your API Requests">
    - To make API calls, you need to authenticate:
      - Find your **API Key** in the **[API Dashboard](https://api.copyleaks.com/dashboard)**
      - In Postman, select your fork of the Copyleaks collection
      - Go to the **Variables** tab and enter the following values in the **CURRENT VALUE** column:
        - **email**: `YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS`
        - **key**: `YOUR_API_KEY`
      - Save the changes
      - After logging in, check the response for the `access_token`
      - Take the value of the `access_token` and place it in the Authorization tab of your fork in Postman as the value of Token. All endpoints will inherit this token from the parent and will use it for authentication automatically
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make API Calls">
    You can now start making API requests. 

    For example, to run an AI detection scan:
      - In your Postman workspace, navigate to your fork of the Copyleaks collection
      - Select **AI Detection** > **Submit Natural Language** > Update the request body and add the scan ID, then click **Send**
      - Review the response
  </Step>
</Steps>
