Auth API

https://auth.intelligencefusion.co.uk

The Auth API provides authentication and authorization support to our suite of APIs.

The default method of authentication against all Intelligence Fusion APIs is done through a stateless JWT token provided as an Authorization: Bearer header. The documentation below provides support for creating user tokens for user initiated communication and application tokens for machine to machine communication.

POST /user/token Create a user authentication token

This endpoint creates an authentication token for use as the Authorization bearer token in the header when making further API requests.

All tokens have a 24-hour lifespan. You must re-generate your authentication token every 24-hours.
