Authentication
Token authentication must be performed to call APIs.
Authentication using tokens: General requests are authenticated using tokens.
Token-based Authentication
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 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:
1 2 | Content-Type: application/json X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ.... |
