Getting access to API 2.0

To retrieve an authorization token for Rest calls, send a POST request to /api/oauth/token with the parameters:

  • username
  • password
  • client_id=frontend
  • grant_type=password

Using curl:

curl --data "username=foo&password=bar&client_id=frontend&grant_type=password" 
https://subdomain.adhese.org/api/oauth/token

You will get back an access token:  

{
    "access_token": "123456",
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "expires_in": 42237,
    "scope": "read write"
}

To execute Rest requests that require authorization, add an Authorization header with value Bearer <access_token>, where <access_token> is the access_token returned by the above request.  

curl -H "Authorization:Bearer <access_token>" https://subdomain.adhese.org/api/...

To test against localhost, use

 

curl --data "username=admin&password=admin&client_id=frontend&grant_type=password" 
http://localhost:8080/api/oauth/token
