Request API Token

Step 1: Find your consumer key and secret Your consumer key and secret can be found by logging into Swoogo, and going to My Profile > API Credentials.

Step 2: Encode consumer key and secret The steps to encode your consumer key and secret into a set of credentials to obtain a bearer token are: 1) URL encode the consumer key and the consumer secret according to RFC 1738. 2) Concatenate the encoded consumer key, a colon character ":", and the encoded consumer secret into a single string. 3) Base64 encode the string from the previous step.

Step 3: Obtain a bearer token The value calculated in step 1 must be exchanged for a bearer token by issuing a request to POST /api/v1/oauth2/token: The request must be a HTTP POST request. The request must include an Authorization header with the value of your base 64 encoded token (from step 1). The request must include a Content-Type header with the value of application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8. The body of the request must be grant_type=client_credentials.

Step 4: Authenticate API requests with the bearer token The bearer token may be used to issue requests to Swoogo API endpoints. To use the bearer token, construct a normal HTTPS request and include an Authorization header with the value of your bearer token from step 2.

Note: The tokens expires in 30 minutes.
