Overview

This section includes information on how to obtain a valid auth_token.

Fuse field names are case-sensitive. If a field does not update or you are getting a bad response, check that the field name being sent within the request matches the field name on Fuse.

Auth Token

Auth Tokens can be obtained in the Admin panel of a Fuse instance or from an API client, such as Postman or cURL.

Generating an auth token in Postman

Follow these steps:

Select your workspace.
Create a request
Set the HTTP method to POST.
Enter the Fuse instance URL:
https://<instance_name>.fuseuniversal.com/api/v4.4/token
Select Body tab.
Select form-data sub-tab.
Set a couple of key-value pairs:
- First KEY: login_name; VALUE: <your_login_name>
- Second KEY: password; VALUE: <your_password>
Press the Enter key or click on the Send button.
Expected Status Code: 201 Created
Make a note of the auth_token value from the response body to use for requests in later Manage Users Endpoint Examples.

Example of auth_token with valid URL:
