Authentication Method

New Feature

Eggplant DAI API uses open standards authorization (OAuth 2.0 - Client Credentials Grant) to protect its APIs.

You must have a valid access token to use the Eggplant DAI Execution API. To obtain an access token, you need to:

  • Retrieve the OAuth credentials for your integration
  • Send an authentication request with your OAuth credentials to the token endpoint, shown below, that is generated for you.

Because the token expires after five minutes, to maintain access, you must regularly resend your credentials to get a new access token.

For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, see Getting Started.
