Using The Credentials for HTTP Requests
After creating the External Application, you can use it in your implementation. First, go through the Authentication procedure, using an Access Token. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Get an access token for the
AppIdandAppSecretreceived when configuring the External Application. - Use the access token as a request header.
For detailed information on how to get an access token, check the External Applications (OAuth) page from the Automation Cloud API guide.
Use the access token by setting it as the
Authorization header for each of the requests made to the REST APIs. The access token allows you to call the APIs that required the selected
scopes, until the token expires (one hour). After that, you need to obtain a new access token using the app_id and app_secret.
