This document describes the process of obtaining access token and refresh token and use that token to access Amino APIs.
...
- User authentication is possible using the access token.To do so, client should first use the login end point to obtain the access token. See Login and authentication#/User%20Authentication/loginUser
- Once successfully authenticated, login end point provides access token and refresh token.
- Special case: If some users are already logged in by cookie, for such cases access tokens can be obtained by cookie <-> token exchange process, See https://confluence.aminocom.com/display/MAPI/Cookie-token+exchange for the exchange process.

Access Token Usage:
The access token that are obtained from the above endpoints can be used to access all the new APIs and legacy APIs. Clients are expected to provide the token in the "Authorization" header,
for example:
| Code Block |
|---|
GET /channels/{channel_id}/relationships/streams
HTTP/1.1
Host: customer.domain:443
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJBbWlub1RWIEFQSSIsImlhdCI6MTUzMTgzNDI0MSwiZXhwIjoxNTYzMzcwMjQxLCJhdWQiOiJ3d3cuYW1pbm9jb20uY29tIiwic3ViIjoiYW5keS5iZWFrQGFtaW5vY29tLmNvbSJ9.BL5bRDANTPJqTSiPdUWKN3xSEJTqdVoDuwqrYSaW1xY
cache-control: no-cache |
| Info |
|---|
We recommend that the client does not rely on any claims in the token as these may change without notice. |
Renewing an access token:
Every endpoint that provides access token will also provide a refresh token, in order to renew the access token.
The token is renewed by calling the createToken endpoint with grant_type=refresh_token User Authentication#/Account%20Authentication/createAccessToken
| Note |
|---|
| Note: The endpoint currently supports grant_type=refresh_token only |
| Info |
|---|
MUST use the refresh token obtained from the previous authentication. Refresh token will have an expiration time, if expired repeat steps from How to get Access Token block. |
Logging out:
Neither tokens or sessions are stored in the system so there is no need or means to revoke the session or the tokens. The only thing that client needs to perform in order to "log out" the user is to delete the stored tokens.
