Authentication

Note

You only need an API Token if you want make use of your existing account. If you want to upload Anonymously, you can skip this section.

Getting an API Token

1. Login and go /profile/api

   You can get there from the user dropdown, or the link on the profile page.

   

   Choose the token name and its abilities.

2. Save the token somewhere safe

   

   Once the token is created, make sure to save it somewhere safe as it will not be shown again.

Using the Token

Using the token is really simple. Just send requests with a Authorization: Bearer <token> header.

Not all routes required a token to use, and it will be called out when they do.

JavaScript

async function getUser() {
    const resp = await fetch(`${baseUrl}/user`, {
        headers: {
            Accept: "application/json",
            Authorization: "Bearer <your-api-token>"
        },
    });
    console.log(await resp.json());
}
