| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Go**         | [`squadcast-sdk-go`](https://github.com/solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-go)                                         | `go get github.com/SquadcastHub/squadcast-sdk-go` |
| **Python**     | [`squadcast-sdk`](https://pypi.org/project/squadcast-sdk/)                                                   | `pip install squadcast-sdk`                       |
| **TypeScript** | [`@solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-typescript`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-typescript) | `npm add @solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-typescript`    |

### Authentication

SolarWinds Incident Response uses Bearer Token authentication for all API requests.

1. **Generate Token:** Log in to your Incident Response account and navigate to **Profile → API Tokens** to create a refresh token.
2. **Get Access Token:** Exchange the refresh token for an access token via the auth endpoint.
3. **Authorize Requests:** Include the access token in the `Authorization` header.

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url https://auth.squadcast.com/oauth/access-token \
     --header 'X-Refresh-Token: YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN'
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Security Best Practice:** Avoid hardcoding tokens. All official SDKs support the `SQUADCASTSDK_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH` environment variable instead of `SQUADCAST_BEARER_AUTH`.
{% endhint %}
