API Access using Integration Tokens
We're currently in the process of migrating our API to a new version with documentation but in the meantime integration tokens can be used to access our legacy API ( https://www.skritter.com/api/v0/docs).
Token Generation
A token is required to authenticate with the account for access. Here are steps to generate an integration token:
- Account Requirement: You must have an active Skritter account to generate an API token.
- Access Integration Settings: Navigate to the "Integrations" section of your Skritter account located at https://skritter.com/account/integrations.
- Generate Token: Within the "Integrations" section, locate the API token generation area. Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new API token for use with the Skritter API.
Request Authorization
To successfully execute API requests, follow these steps:
- Construct Authorization Header: Create an HTTP header titled "Authorization".
- Token Format: Set the value of the header using the following format:
bearer <your_generated_api_token>
Important Notes
- Token Security: Treat your API token with the utmost confidentiality, safeguarding it as you would a password. Secure storage of the token is essential.
- Authorization Scope: API tokens streamline authentication, removing the complexity of a typical auth flow or the need to maintain a separate client account.
