Authorization Token

Palette exposes an API endpoint to generate an authorization token for a user. The authorization token is valid for 15 minutes. You can refresh the token using the refresh token API endpoint.

API requests using the authorization token must use the HTTP header Authorization with a token as the value.

TOKEN=abcd1234
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.spectrocloud.com/v1/projects/alerts' \
--header "Authorization: $TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

To refresh the authorization token, use the v1/auth/refresh endpoint with a GET request.

Aquire Authorization Token​

To acquire an authorization token, use the v1/auth endpoint with a POST request to generate the token. Provide the email ID, organization name, and password in the request body. For example:

curl --location 'https://api.spectrocloud.com/v1/auth/authenticate' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "emailId": "YOUR_EMAIL_ID",
  "org": "YOUR_ORG_NAME",
  "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}'
{
  "Authorization": "eyJhbGc.........."
}

Use the authorization token in the Authorization header to make API requests.

Refresh Authorization Token​

To refresh the authorization token, use the v1/auth/refresh endpoint with a GET request. Provide the refresh token as a path parameter by replacing :token in the URL with the refresh token.

curl --location 'https://api.spectrocloud.com/v1/auth/refresh/:token' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'

The response contains the authorization token. Use the new authorization token in the Authorization header to make API requests.

The following example shows how to refresh the authorization token using the refresh token. The refresh token is abriviated for brevity.

curl --location 'https://api.spectrocloud.com/v1/auth/refresh/eyJhbGc..........' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'
{
  "Authorization": "eyJhbGc.........."
}
