Authorization

The next request will show you an authorization. This is an important part of the requests for sure but not only because of security but also because we will need the authorization for all other requests.

Let us create another request to make our second API Call to try the authorization. The only extension to the previous call is to define the headers. If you click on “Headers” you will see three columns. The first and second one, so the keys and the values are necessary for the authorization.

Two ways of authorization

For authentication, you’ll need an api token. Image Added

You can find this information in Settings / Api Tokens and Apps. Note that all API methods require authentication. The API token is a user specific secret which should not be shared with other users. We recommend to create different API keys for different application integrations, to avoid configuring the same key in various integration systems. This allows, e.g. in case of sharing a key by mistake, to disable one key while keeping other integrations working with their existing configuration.
