Authentication
We have 2 ways of authentication:
The system has 2 types of authentications, but there is only one approach to use the API with the 2 steps below:
Step 1: Logging in: (only supports basic authentication) - This is to supply the username and the password to log in and get a token
Step 2: Using the api: (only supports bearer authentication) - This is to use a token when making any other requests, so that the system knows who is making the request
...
go to the /token POST endpoint
click the lock on the side to open a log in panel
enter username and password, hit the authorize button (you don’t have to use your real password here)
...
then expand the endpoint
hit Try it out, and execute
you get an example to show how to use this API endpoint,
including: e.g. 1) the POST method, 2) the URL to use, 3) headers and the most important one is the Authorisation header, with the keyword “Basic” and the base64 encoded username password pair
format before encoding: the format before encoding is the username and the password joined by a single colon, which is username:password
we support both encoded or clear text here, so both “Basic encoded_pair“ and “Basic username:password“ work
here is an example to show additional data you can supply for this request
...
again, expand the drop down, click ‘Try it out’ and then ‘Execute’
you get an example of how to make such a request
in my case, I entered “hello” as the authentication token, just to show how the token is present on the header, in a valid case, the word “hello“ would be a long encoded text
