Authentication

The Verify by Tiller API employs a secure authentication mechanism to ensure that only authorised users can access the API. This section covers everything you need to know about obtaining and using authentication tokens to interact with the Verify by Tiller API.

Obtaining your Token

To obtain an authentication token, you will need to make a POST request to our authentication endpoint with your user credentials.

❗It is important that the user credentials have been given the correct permissions. Please contact [e-mail] to request the API permissions be added to the user profile.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1) Ensure that your user credentials have API permissions. If you are unsure, contact [e-mail].

2) Send a POST request with your user credentials in the request body. Use 'password' in the grant type.

Get access tokens for your requests. Use {Authorization: Bearer access_token} inside headers for all subsequent requests.

const response = await fetch('https://api.tiller-verify.com/api/v1/ext/authentications/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      "grant_type": "password"
    }),
});
const data = await response.json();

Response

{
  "access_token": "text",
  "expires_in": 0,
  "token_type": "text"
}

After successfully authenticating, you will receive a JSON response containing your 'access_token'. This token must be included in the Authorization header of your subsequent API requests. It should be included as a Bearer token.
