# Configuration

Before using the API, you need to configure authentication to communicate with the ChargeOver API. ChargeOver uses Basic
Auth with API credentials.

```csharp
ChargeOverAPI chargeOver = new ChargeOverAPI(
"https://your-chargeover-instance.com",
"Your_API_Key",
"Your_API_Secret"
);
```

Replace `Your_API_Key` and `Your_API_Secret` with your actual ChargeOver API credentials, and ensure the URL is your
ChargeOver instance.
