Locoia API Authentication

Authentication with our API of Locoia itself

Locoia uses Oauth2. Contact one of our Solutions Consultants to get all details regarding API access, such as client_id and client_secret.
Alternatively, to avoid setting up a fully blown Oauth2-client, you can also receive a refresh-token to get a fresh access_token, whenever needed.
1. Create a user in Locoia specifically for API requests.
2. Based on the client_id and client_secret from Locoia, use PostMan's authentication feature to get the refresh_token. Select OAuth 2.0., as per the below screenshot, and input the following details:
Auth URL: https://dynamicinsight.auth.eu-central-1.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/authorize
Access Token URL: https://dynamicinsight.auth.eu-central-1.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/token
Client ID: my_client_id
Client Secret: my_client_secret
Scope: email openid
After filling in all of the above details, click `Get New Access Token` and you will be redirected to an Authentication Screen. Enter the user credentials of the previously created user. Now you should get the refresh_token, among other details, for this user.
3. Ongoing refreshing: To get a valid access_token based on a refresh_token, please proceed on the request as follows:
1
POST https://dynamicinsight.auth.eu-central-1.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/token

Copied!
4. The access_token can now be used in the following format as a header:
Authorization: Bearer ey... where ey.. is the access_token
