Authentication

Authentication for the Lightbug APIs make use of Bearer tokens in the Authorization header.

API calls that require authentication must have a bearer token submitted in the header, such as Authorization: <token>.

Tokens can be used universally across the various Lightbug API versions.

Recommended

We recommend using the latest version of the API for authentication.

• POST /v2/users/login Username & Password login (preferred)
• POST /v2/users/refreshToken Optionally refresh a login token
• POST /v2/users/personalAccessTokens Generate a personal access token (longer life)

Legacy

The V1 API is still available for authentication, but does not support refresh tokens or personal access tokens.

• POST /api/users/login Username & Password login
