Authentication
In DataCater, you can use your username and password (default:
admin:admin) for authentication.API requests are authenticated using the Bearer Auth scheme. You must include the access token in the header of all API requests that you perform.
Access tokens are time-restricted and must be re-generated from time to time. Please make sure that you always have a valid token.
Use your login credentials (default:
admin:admin) to generate a time-restricted access token that is needed for authenticating API calls.Pass your credentials to the endpoint either (1) using HTTP Basic authentication or (2) combine your username and password using a
: (colon), base64-encode the resulting string, and include the encoded string in the Authorization header as follows: Authorization: Basic {base64-encoded-string}.That means, assuming that your DataCater installation is available under
http://localhost:8080 and you are using the default login credentials admin:admin, you can generate an access token using one of the following curl commands:curl -XPOST -uadmin:admin http://localhost:8080/api/v1/authentication
curl -XPOST -H"Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/authentication
