For API calls to Upsolver, you will need a token. When you generate this API token, save the token somewhere safe as you will not be able to retrieve it again.

You can create an API token in the Upsolver UI or using a POST request.

Create an API token

1. From the API Tokens page, click Generate.

2. Name this API token.

3. Click Generate.

4. Either download or copy the token.

5. Click Close.

Create an API Token using a POST request

You can send a POST request to /api-tokens with the name and description of your API token and your email and password in the headers; this will return an API token.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
--url https://api.upsolver.com/api-tokens/ \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-email: YOUR_EMAIL_HERE' \
--header 'x-api-password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE' \
--data '{
	"displayData": {
		"name": "Data Sources Bot API Token",
		"description": "API Token used by the bot 
to create Data Sources"
	}
}'

Example response:

{
	"id": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab",
	"organizationId": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab",
	"displayData": {
		"name": "Data Sources Bot API Token",
		"description": "API Token used by the bot

	},
	"apiToken": "abc12345678901234567890123456789",
	"createdBy": "[email protected]"
}
