🔑Authentication

The OffBlocks API utilises the Bearer authentication mechanism. Before accessing any of the authenticated endpoints, you must obtain an authentication token by providing your client credentials: apiKey and apiSecret. This process is automatically handled for all requests in our Postman collection.

Retrieving an Authentication Token

The endpoint mentioned above returns a JSON Web Token (JWT) token. You must include this token as a Bearer token in the header of all requests that require authentication. Additionally, the response includes an expiration timestamp for the token, measured in seconds.
