Authentication

Accessing the API with an API Token

Authentication with API Tokens

To use the Erudus API each request will need to be authenticated using an API Token.

API Tokens are associated with a user of Erudus, and that user must have sufficient permissions in the system for the desired actions to be performed.

Each user is able to create multiple API Tokens. It is recommended that separate tokens be created for different integrations and applications so that they can be managed and controlled independently.

Creating an API Token

Visit the API portal and select Manage Tokens. Give your new token a name and select appropraite permissions you wish to give this token.

Creating an APi Token in the API Portal

You will be presented with a popup window revealing your new token. Copy and save securely.

Authenticating Requests

Most API endpoints require an access token to be supplied in the Authorization header. Use the API Token provided in the header as follows:

Authorization:  Bearer kYwxZ6LKTBrJXtHdThUnq9zKyHa1nteL9cOtsxL45591fd7d
