Back-End Server Authentication

Register​

First register a new server application using your username, email, and password using the REST API call POST Register New Server.

Get Access​

Next, use your email and password to get access token to the API using the REST API call POST Sign In Server.
WARNING: Do not expose your Server access tokens in your user-facing frontend applications. Instead use the next two approaches to generate short-lived access tokens for the front-end.

The following API calls require your access token:

Create a user​

Use the POST Create User API call to create a new user. You can optionally provide the email and role (provider, admin, other) of the user. The API will return the user_id to you.

Authenticate a user​

Use the POST Login User API call to login a newly created user. The API will return the access_token and refresh_token which can then be passed on to the user to access the scribe API.
