What authentication does the ItemPath API use?

The ItemPath API uses token-based authentication in order to validate user access. This is OAuth 2 standard. In order to make requests through the API, you must include an access token in the header of the API request.

To receive a token, you must first log in to the API. You can do this using the login API call. Your JWT tokens will be returned on a successful login. For more information and examples of these tokens, see the full documentation or see the lesson in the API course.

In addition to logging in with a secure ItemPath user, it's also possible to use SSO. Check out this guide to see what's required for Azure MSAL SSO configuration.
