# Using App User Authentication

`GET /v1/key/{appUser}/example3`

To use App User Authentication, first obtain an App User, typically by using the configuration panel in the user interface, or else by using the [App User API Resource](/central-api-accounts-and-users/#app-users). Once you have the token, you can apply it to any eligible action by prefixing the URL with `/key/{appUser}` as follows:

`/v1/key/!Ms7V3$Zdnd63j5HFacIPFEvFAuwNqTUZW$AsVOmaQFf$vIC!F8dJjdgiDnJXXOt/example/request/path`

_(There is not really anything at `/v1/example3`; this section only demonstrates how generally to use App User Authentication.)_
