API Tokens

This document will show you how to create an API token for the API in Vendorvue. All Vendorvue API endpoints require one.

Authorization header​

To make requests to the API, add the service token values in the Authorization header in your HTTP API request using the following format:

Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN_ID>:<API_TOKEN>

Here is a cURL example:

cURL
curl --request GET 'https://api.vendorvue.app/v1/vendors' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN_ID>:<API_TOKEN>'
--header 'accept: application/json'

Creating an API token​

To create an API token using the dashboard, log into your organization and click Settings > API.

Give the token a descriptive name (this is used for your reference only) and click Create token.

API token ID​

Copy this value to use as API_TOKEN_ID.

The ID is also visible on the API settings page.

API token​

The token is generated immediately after the service token is created. You can only see this once.

Copy this value to use as API_TOKEN.
