Authentication

You'll need to authenticate your requests to access any of the endpoints in the Update-available API. In this guide, we'll look at how authentication works.

OAuth2 with bearer token

This method involves embedding an access token in the HTTP header of the request, thereby confirming the identity of the user in question. By presenting this token, usually preceded by ‘‘Bearer‘‘, users gain the privileged access they need in your application. This approach provides a simple and efficient way to verify a user's identity when they interact with your application resources.

curl https://update-available.com/api/v1/software \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"
