Getting your API token

- 2Connect to the sandbox
The sandbox base URL is:
https://stage.iwoca-dev.co.uk - 3Verify your connection
Use the
/authentication_check/endpoint to confirm your token is working. A successful request returns200 OKwith the API version.
Authentication
Make every request over HTTPS and authenticate with a Bearer token in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer {your_api_token}
Required headers
| Header | Value | When |
|---|---|---|
Accept | application/json | Every request |
Content-Type | application/json | POST requests |
Authorization | Bearer {token} | Every request |
Requests must come directly from your back end – never expose your API token in client-side code.
