Authentication

You can use the following authentication method:

Token authentication: Requests are authenticated using tokens.

Token Authentication

Note

The validity period of a token is 24 hours. When using a token for authentication, cache it to prevent frequently calling the IAM API used to obtain a user token.

A token specifies temporary permissions in a computer system. During API authentication using a token, the token is added to requests to get permissions for calling the API.

In section 3.1 Making an API Request, the process of calling the API used to obtain a user token is described. After a token is obtained, add the X-Auth-Token header field must be added to requests to specify the token when calling other APIs. For example, if the token is ABCDEFJ...., X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ.... can be added to a request as follows:

GET https://iam.eu-de.otc.t-systems.com/v3/auth/projects
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ....
