Convertr uses OAuth for it's API authentication. All end points (unless explicitly detailed) require an access_token
to be passed through with each request. Tokens expire after 60minutes and need to either be refreshed or a new one generated.
Beware that if your password is expired you will still receive an access token, but will receive the following error on any other API requests.
You can see the status password_expired property which is returned along with your access token - if it’s true then you will need to reset your password.
Requesting a token
Request:
POST /api/login HTTP/1.1 Host: {enterprise}.cvtr.io Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded username={your_email}& password={your_password}
Response:
{ "access_token": "YjJmYmExOGRhNjk5MzlmNDU1ZmM3OGI2ZjEwMTkwMTA0YzU3YmY4MzU4MjI3Yjg1Y2VlZDlkYmY0ZmRiOTg4MA", "expires_in": 3600, "token_type": "bearer", "scope": null, "refresh_token": "ZDRiZWViZDQxOGZmMWE4MDE5ODRjODNlOGUxOWQyZDRkNmZiYzZkNzU3ZGI2NGI2MTEwYTAzZmU5YzIxZTQ2Ng", "client_id": "4_50bb9wpfmj8cwgw8kk8s848ck8s0gkc8wok0wogockwcdd88o8", "client_secret": "zfiacn1uttcsogc0w4wocowgkk0socsggkoo88k8sskskws8gc", "user_id": 123, "password_expired": false }
You will then need to reference the access_token in all subsequent requests with the following url parameter: access_token
In order for you to see additional context about the API end points, it's recommended that you use the .jsonld
url extension. This will provide you additional information about the response, such as pagination, total records and next and previous urls.
