Authentication

Get an API key​

You SHALL authenticate to the Diduenjoy API by providing your secret API key in the request. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secret!

You can find and generate your API keys in the Settings>API page in your diduenjoy dashboard.

If you dont have any generated Api key you can create a new one with the + Generate a new API key button.

Auth with API key​

Authentication to the API occurs via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the basic auth username. You do not need to provide a password.

Example request

require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

uri = URI('https://api.diduenjoy.com/api/v1/companies')

Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
:use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https',
:verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE) do |http|

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri
# keep empty second params
request.basic_auth 'API_KEY', ''

response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object

end
note

You SHALL replace API_KEY with your personal API key.

Diduenjoy expects all API requests to have the Base64 encoded API key in the Authorization header Authorization: Basic BASE64_API_KEY
