To call Fuse API endpoints you need to be authenticated. This is done by sending your authentication token in a header called Auth-Token with every API request. From v5.0 onwards, we’ve introduced rotating authentication tokens, which means that each authentication token expires and renews at regular intervals.

Getting a token

To obtain your authentication token, you must use the following API request:

POST /session

Request

URL: https://<instance_name>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v5.0/session

Method: POST

Request parameters

When using this request, you must include the following mandatory parameters in the request body:

• login_name: This is your username or email address used to log in to your Fuse instance, assigned to you when your account was created (e.g. joe.bloggs or joe.bloggs@email.com).

• password: This is your password used to log in to your Fuse instance.

Example response

{
  "success": true,
  "role": "admin",
  "administerable_community_ids": [
    9,
    10,
    11
  ],
  "admin_group_permissions": [
    "compliance_reporting"
  ],
  "auth_tokens": {
    "jwt_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJIb3RmaXgiLCJleHAiOjE3MzIxNDcxOTksImlhdCI6MTcyOTUwNTc3NiwiYXVkIjpudWxsLCJqdGkiOiIyOTQ5OS4xOTI4NTYifQ.qz_fLuuTvyUTveheP8bwLwnDBgw_KpjZTdMEUf2WSnY",
    "user_authentication_token": {
      "authentication_token": "RVt-k4zQJRyMBx3L",
      "updated_at": 1728784853
    }
  }
}

The path to the authentication token is .auth_tokens.user_authentication_token.authentication_token. In the example above the authentication token is RVt-k4zQJRyMBx3L.

Info
For more information about the /session endpoint, please reference the API documentation section in the Admin Panel of your instance: Image Modified

Using the token

For API v5 the authentication token must be presented in an Auth-Token request header along with the request. Below is an example of this:

curl -H 'Auth-Token: RVt-k4zQJRyMBx3L' https://<instance>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v5.0/users/me

If the token is no longer valid then you will receive a 401 response such as in the example below:

{ 
"success": false,
 "errors": { 
 "base": "Unauthorized 401" 
  } 
 }

In this case you will need to try getting the latest token using the POST /session endpoint as stated above.
