Authentication

Obtain API Credentials to get started with Orum’s APIs.

Overview

Orum’s Authentication API requires users to create a set of API Credentials to generate an auth token. Users can create and manage API Credentials directly within the Orum Portal. See below for steps to obtain a set of API Credentials to generate your Auth token.

API Credentials

API Credentials are specified within the body of the Orum Auth API call. These credentials can now be created and rotated within the “API Credentials” header of the “API Authentication” tab. See the screenshots below for the full flow:

Note:

  • These credentials are NOT connected to your portal login and password. They are created and to be managed separately.
  • These credentials are NOT needed for any other API call — they are only used to generate an auth token.
