This page describes how authentication occurs in UnifiedAPI, explaining what the user must do in order to authorize apps.

Authentication

To make requests to UnifiedAPI, you must register an App to a User account. The User must authorize the App to make requests in their name. The process generates an access token that is sent to UnifiedAPI as detailed below.

As Query-Parameters

To use an access token in the query part of the request, you must send the parameter accessRequestToken.

Please note that you need to place the word "Bearer" before the token.

The request to list phone calls becomes:

HTTP Request
GET /uapi/phoneCalls/userId/extensionNumber/?accessRequestToken=<token>
HOST <hostname>
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: xxx

As HTTP header

To use an access token in the query part of the request, you must send the Authorization header set to the value of the token.

The request to list phone calls becomes:

HTTP Request
GET /uapi/phoneCalls/userId/extensionNumber/
HOST <hostname>
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: xxx

Authenticated user

UnifiedAPI defines an authenticated User, the User that granted access to the App and is identified by the access token.
