First API call

We now have the necessary info to make our first unauthenticated API call. The next step is to authenticate with a username/password combination.

Auth API

You can find the full documentation on the Auth API here. The Auth API has multiple endpoints but we’ll use the LOGIN endpoint. To login we need to send a POST request to the API endpoint /auth/login.

Continue by adding code to index.js for our request:

const main = async () => {
  try {
    // Make a login request
    const response = await api({
      method: 'post',
      url: '/auth/login'
    })
    console.log('Auth API response:', response.data)
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('An error occured:', e)
  }
}

We also need to include a username/password combination as payload:

const response = await api({
  method: 'post',
  url: '/auth/login',

  // Add a username/password combination as payload
  data: {
    userName: USERNAME,
    password: PASSWORD
  }
})

Run the program:

node index.js

If you’ve provided the correct cofiguration you should get a response with session tokens required to make authenticated requests.
