Introduction

Patchworks API requests must be authenticated with a bearer token. To obtain a token, you need to send a login request which includes credentials that you use to access the Patchworks dashboard.

The steps

Show me

Step 1\ Create a POST request for the following endpoint:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

https://svc-fabric.pwks.co/api/v1/login

This endpoint is for the Patchworks **production** environment.

Step 2\ In the request body, add the email and password that you use to log into the Patchworks dashboard. You should add this as JSON - for example:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "mypassword123*"
}

 

Step 3\ Send the request - if successful, a token is returned. For example:

 

Access tokens are valid for 24 hours - for example: \ Issued: Wednesday 20th July at 10:03:08 GMT \ Expires: Tuesday 21st July at 10:03:08 GMT

Step 4\ Save this token ready for use in your initialise request.
