Getting Authenticated

Within the API documentation there will be various sections indicating different types of operations that can be performed. The first required call, that you will need to get started, will be in the Authentication section

Usage/Setup in postman

  1. Set Postman's request type to use POST method

  2. Click the 'Copy Endpoint' button and paste the result into postman's URL field

  3. Under the Body tab, select the radio button 'x-www-form-urlencoded' (representing content type)

  4. The keys required for the body are: 'username', 'password', and 'grant_type' (where grant_type value is always 'password')

Altogether it should look like the following:

At this point you can click the 'Send' button to retrieve your authentication information. Which should appear in the following way

The 'access_token' value will be used in all future calls to the Nektar API. This can be set in postman by creating a new request and adding the token settings within the 'Authorization' tab

  1. Set Dropdown list to use 'Bearer Token'

  2. Paste the access_token value into token box
