# Authentication Context

Authentication context is information about who is calling an API.

Calling Wix APIs with authentication context allows you to use functions that return different responses based on who calls them, such as [`getCurrentMember()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/members/members/get-current-member.md).

Calling the HTTP Functions API using [access tokens](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/app-management/oauth-2/introduction.md) or [API Keys](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/articles/getting-started/api-keys.md) 
sends authentication context to your site’s HTTP functions.
