E_Authentication

Authentication

The authentication via the REST API is simple: posting the user credentials responds with newly generated API Key which is valid as long as the user is not explicitly logged-out. The newly generated API Key is invalidated by calling the logout method.

Alternatively, authentication can be made by posting a username and a password in the Authorization field of your request header (see Basic access authentication (Client side))

An API Key is delivered in the response in both cases upon successful authentication.
