Get your API access token
To gain access to our API, you will need your Client ID and Client Secret. Instructions for getting these values can be found in Use the API. You should take special precautions to keep your client secret a secret. In the example below (using our demo environment https://demo-api.certn.co
), we show you how you can use secrets stored in a .env
file.
With everything set properly and a good internet connection, you should receive a response.status_code
of 200 OK
. The response.data
object should look something like:
200 OK
{
"access_token": "string",
"expires_in": 36000,
...
}
You'll need this access_token as a bearer token in headers for all requests to our API. Let's see how to use this to Understand your general resources.
