Connect to the API¶

Before you can access data with the Nena API you first need to set up authentication. The API uses access tokens to verify a user. A token is generated by submitting a POST request containing your Nena portal login credentials in the request’s body, to the login endpoint. The access token is a required field for requests made to all other endpoints.

Important

The access token will be valid for 15 minutes from when you submit a login request.

Authentication¶

The following post request will return an access token.

POST /api/user/login

Recieve an API access token by submitting your Nena portal login credentials.

Note: You should replace UserName and Password with your Nena username and password.
