Introduction
This is the documentation of how to obtain an authentication token for the ws.di.no domain.
About POST
In order to POST data into the API use a JSON object without name.
You should also set the Content-Type header to "application/json".
A request will look like this:
Curl request
Ā
\"password\": \"secret\" }" |
Request object:
Field | Description | Example | Data type | Count |
---|---|---|---|---|
username | The username that was provided by the DI service desk | myName | String | 1 |
password | The password that was provided by the DI service desk | secret!23 | String | 1 |
Response object:
The endpoint replies with a response object in JSON format, containing the following data
Field | Description | Example | Data type | Count |
---|---|---|---|---|
token | The JWT token to be used in subsequent requests | aVeryLongString | String | 1 |
The security token should be placed in theĀ Authorization header like this:
"Authorization: Bearer <token>"
The token is valid for 30 minutes and is a json web token (Ā https://jwt.io/Ā ) but can be handled as a plain string on the client side.
Changelog:
Version 2 returns a valid JSON object as opposed to version 1 which just returned the token as a string.
