API - Authorization¶

You have two options to authenticate against our API: 1) API Key 2) Json Web Token

Both methods can be used be by sending an “Authorization” header.

API Key usage¶

The example request will return a list of all apps of the company, the api key is assigned to.

POST /api/v2/apps¶

Request header¶

Host: v2.app-arena.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: **YOURAPIKEY**

Json Web Token (JWT)¶

The token will automatically expire after 2 hours. It is meant for the use in browser for example for your Ajax requests.

The example request will return a list of all apps of the company, the token is assigned to.

POST /api/v2/apps

Request header

Host: v2.app-arena.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer **JWT-TOKEN**

Generate user token¶

A user token can act in behalf of a user through the API. The token has the same access rights as the user account the user is generated from.

POST /api/v2/auth/token¶

Request header

Host: v2.app-arena.com
Content-Type: application/json

Request body¶

    "email":"s.buckpesch@iconsultants.eu",
    "password":"1234"
}

Data:	email (string) – Email address of the user you want to generate a token for password (string) – Clear text password of the user you want to generate a token for

POST /api/v2/auth/token

Request header

Host: v2.app-arena.com
Content-Type: application/json

Request body

{
    "apikey":"123456"
