Credentials

Access to the Webservice Standard service requires creating an application with a username and password, necessary to communicate with the API.

WebserviceStandard-login-pass.jpg

The username and password must be placed in the header of the basic authentication (Authorization: Basic) for the entire API communication.

POST /webservice/WebservicePremium/Users/Login HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic cGFydG5lcjpwYXJ0bmVy
tip

Header generation example - Authorization: Basic

 base64_encode($name . ':' . $password)

The next security measure required for the API to work is placing the API key in the X-API-KEY header for the entire API communication.

POST /webservice/WebservicePremium/Users/Login HTTP/1.1
X-API-KEY: VMUwRByXHSq1bLW485ikfvcC97P6gJs2
Authorization: Basic cGFydG5lcjpwYXJ0bmVy

The key is generated after the application is created, and it can be copied to the clipboard by clicking the button.

Authentication

The keys are unique for each application that connects to the YetiForce system. In order to be able to download and send data, you need to specify the level of permissions for the API. For this purpose, the Users/Login method was created, which allows authorization and creation of a session. This allows you to call methods that require a certain level of permissions to perform operations.

A description of credential management can be found here: Administrator documentation → Integration → Web service - Users.

The authorization token should be placed in the X-TOKEN header for the entire API communication.

POST /webservice/WebservicePremium/Users/Login HTTP/1.1
X-TOKEN: 64e56d9eaff876342e61055e338e10dc844634de5aaea6901b7c005c7c5fc6d0
X-API-KEY: VMUwRByXHSq1bLW485ikfvcC97P6gJs2
Authorization: Basic cGFydG5lcjpwYXJ0bmVy
