Make your first Request

Get your token

1. Before you can use any of the APIs, you need to log in to your Laigo account or, if you don’t have one, create a new one.

2. For creating the token, please visit our platform and go to API-Client Page to create and copy your client credentials.

1. Once you logged in, then you can start to create your client secret and client id by selecting the API page on the left sidebar of the dashboard.

1. For generating your client_id and client_secret you can click on the button ‘Request new’ then you can have your credentials that you can use for creating a token.

1. Create an access token. To request access tokens, an application must make a POST request with the following multipart form data to the token URI: grant_type=client_credentials.

The application must pass basic HTTP auth credentials using the client_id as the user and client_secret as the password access tokens are obtained by calling the https://account.laigo.io/realms/SmartTools/protocol/openid-connect/token endpoint, and the required secrets are available in the API tab for your need.
