When using Fuse’s APIs, you must obtain an auth token when authenticating. From v5.0 and above, we’ve introduced rotating auth tokens. This means that each authentication token will will expire and renew after a certain amount of time.
Note: If you are using a legacy version of Fuse’s API (v4.4 and below) the process for obtaining a token differs. For information how to obtain auth tokens in v4.4 and below, see here.
To obtain a JWT token for your session, you must use the following POST request:
POST: /session
Request
POST: /session
https://<instance_name>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v5.0/session
Request parameters
When using this request, you must include the following mandatory parameters:
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.blogs@email.com).
password: This is your password used to log in to your Fuse instance.

Obtaining a token using cURL
Below is an example of how to obtain a token using cURL:
Request
curl --header 'Auth-Token: token_value_here' https://<instance_name>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v5.0/users/me
Example response
{
"authentication_token": "rVIG4LQ8kNvyu763",
"updated_at": 1728957654
}
When using the legacy Fuse API (v4.4 and below), the request is as follows:
curl https://<instance_name>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v4.0/users/me?auth_token=1234abcd
JavaScript <<Francois to provide specific examples>>
