Generating an authentication token

Let's start by generating an Authorization Bearer token to use with subsequent endpoints.

Before calling other endpoints, you need to generate an Authorization Bearer token. To retrieve your token, simply send your account credentials as body parameters.

This works just like logging into the Personr platform, but instead of being redirected to your dashboard, you will receive a token that allows you to authenticate and call other endpoints.


Generate a bearer token

POST /api-token-generate

Generate a token for use with other endpoints.

Request

curl --location 'https://enterprise.personr.co/api/1.1/wf/api-token-generate' \
--form 'email="example@personr.co"' \
--form 'password="example123"'

Response

{
  "status": "success",
  "response": {
    "token": "1670035114445x631333625381113500",
    "user_id": "1665086295388x405886519539808060",
    "expires": 31536000
  }
}

In the response, you'll receive:

  • Your bearer token

  • Your unique user id

  • The expiration time of your token, expressed in seconds

Remember to include your token in the header of every subsequent API call, in the format Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Don't forget to set up a workflow to renew your token before it expires.
