 However, in some applications, waiting for an Actor to start is not an option. Actor Standby mode solves this problem by letting you have the Actor ready
 in the background, waiting for the incoming HTTP requests. In a sense, the Actor behaves like a real-time web server or standard API server.

 You will know that the Actor is enabled for Standby mode if you see the **Standby** tab on the Actor's detail page.

 Generally speaking, Actors in Standby mode behave as standard HTTP servers. You can use any of the existing [HTTP request methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods) like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. You can pass the input via [HTTP request query string](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string) or via [HTTP request body](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Messages#body).
 
+## How do I authenticate my requests
+
+To authenticate requests to Actor Standby, follow the same process as [authenticating requests to the Apify API](../../integrations/programming/api.md).
+You can provide your [API token](../../integrations/programming/api.md#api-token) in one of two ways:
+
+1. _Recommended_: Include the token in the `Authorization` header of your request as `Bearer <token>`. This approach is recommended because it prevents your token from being logged in server logs.
+
+    ```shell
+    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer my_apify_token" \
+      https://rag-web-browser.apify.actor/search?query=apify
+    ```
+
+2. Append the token as a query parameter named `token` to the request URL.
+This approach can be useful if you cannot modify the request headers.
+
+    ```text
+    https://rag-web-browser.apify.actor/search?query=apify&token=my_apify_token
+    ```

 ## Can I still run the Actor in normal mode
 
 Yes, you can still modify the input and click the Start button to run the Actor in normal mode. However, note that the Standby Actor might
