Authentication

To make use of this API you need to have a Client ID and Client Secret.

With these credentials you can request a token which you will need to access the resources from this API.

1. Login into your Partner Portal.
2. Go to "Settings" via the menu on the left side.
3. Go to the "API" tab.
4. Click on the "Manage your api credentials"-button to go to the API credentials management screen.

Create new API credentials

1. In the API credentials management screen.
2. Click "Add new API credentials" button at the bottom to open a form.
3. Provide a "credential name" which allows you to quickly recognize the intended use of the new credentials. E.g. the name of the application that will be using it.
4. Specify if the credentials should provide full access to your entire portal, a General credential set, or only things that are for a specific branding profile, a Branding specific credential set.
5. If you chose "Branding specific credential set", choose the correct branding profile.
6. Click "Generate".
7. Check your e-mail inbox. Within a few minutes you should receive an e-mail containing the Client ID and Client Secret.

Be aware: the Client Secret is only provided once so keep this value somewhere safe.

You can retrieve an access token via our OAuth token endpoint. You can find the full documentation for this endpoint here. The endpoint only supports HTTPS POST. You need to separately retrieve this token before executing any of the other endpoints.

The token endpoint is as follows: https://partner-api-001.prd.jifeline.cloud/oauth2/token.

We have created a small example application in Java (JRE/JDK 11) to demonstrate how to authenticate with our Partner API. You can download it here. Please extract the archive and check the README.md for more information.
