Use Authorization Tokens to Access APIs

How to Use Token-Based Authorization

You can use the token received in response to a request to the Authentication API to authorize with other APIs. Here are the APIs that support token-based authorization:

To authorize when using these APIs, transfer the token in the request header:

Header Parameters

AuthorizationJWT

required

Authorization token.

Format: Bearer [token]
Where [token] is substituted by the token value obtained through the authentication API.

Example

Let us suppose that you received the following response to your request to the Authentication API:

{
  "token": "fj45u923j59ju42395iu9423i59243u0",
  "refresh_token": "4e283bb7620068c42d6"
}

When making the request to another API, transfer in the request header:

AuthorizationJWT: Bearer fj45u923j59ju42395iu9423i59243u0

When using Postman, you can add the Token variable to the Environment settings and insert the token value automatically into your requests to other APIs.

Authorization Errors

If authorization with the token is not performed, then the HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized response code and the error description return in the response body in JSON format.

Additional Error Codes for HTTP 401

Error	Message	Description

1008	Missing token.	Authorization failed, your token has not been transferred.

Example of Error Response

      "message": "Your token is invalid."
    }
  ]
}
