Api access token

Access tokens

The access_token expires after 1 hour

Obtain a token

To obtain a token you POST to https://api.pinmeto.com/oauth/token. You need to include your credentials in the Authorization header ("Basic " + '<<app id>>:<<app secret>>'), make sure to concatenate and then base64 encode the app_id:app_secret. Pass grant_type="client_credentials" in the request body, for example:

POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: https://api.pinmeto.com
Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=client_credentials

These tokens are unique and should be stored securely.

Example result

{
  token_type: 'bearer',
  access_token: '3feb95961a4dfbe3277f0c55a8c73eabd29cee7e',
  expires_in: 3600
}

Curl call to get access_token

To quickly validate that your app credentials work, run this curl row in your terminal. The app_id/app_secret part for a curl call should not be concatenated and base64 encoded, just paste them in separated by a colon.

curl -d "grant_type=client_credentials" --user <<app_id>>:<<app_secret>> https://api.pinmeto.com/oauth/token
