Spikes Studio API Authentication

Bearer token authentication is a method for authenticating API requests. It involves including a bearer token in the Authorization header of the request. The bearer token is a cryptic string generated Spikes API server and is used by the client to authenticate subsequent requests.

Token should be included in ALL API requests.

How It Works

1. Obtain a Bearer Token
• The Bearer token is provided by Spikes Studio and should be kept secure.
2. Include Bearer Token in Requests:
• To authenticate requests, include the Bearer token in the Authorization header of your HTTP requests.
• Example Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer your_bearer_token

Including Bearer Token in Requests

Using Postman

1. Open Postman and create a new request.
2. In the Headers section, add a key-value pair for Authorization, with the value being Bearer [your_spikes_api_token].
3. Send the request.

Using Programming Language

  import requests

  url = 'https://api.spikes.studio/api/v1/api/project'
  headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your_bearer_token'
  }

  response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
  print(response.json())

Conclusion

Bearer token authentication is a simple yet effective way to authenticate API requests. By including the Bearer token in the Authorization header, you can securely access protected resources on the API server.
