Introduction
Community's Async REST API uses an API Token system for authentication. If enabled for your account, the management interface for API Tokens can be found in the Community Dashboard, under Settings > API Tokens.
Connection Prerequisites
In order to authenticate to Community's Async REST API, you will require the following items:
- One or more active Community account(s)
- An account seat with Async REST API user access enabled (will be enabled for you by Community team)
- A valid API Token (prefixed with
community_api, can be generated in Settings > Auth Tokens)
Authenticating to the Async REST API
To authenticate a given request, you must include your API Token in an Authorization header field, such as Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN.
