Authentication

To use the Goodays APIs, you need to pass your personal access token in the Authorization header of your requests.

Access Token

Access tokens are long strings of random characters that look something like this: 943af478d3ff3d4d760020c11af102b79c440513.
Your access token is unique to you. We use it to identify you and make sure that only you can access your resources.

Get your token

An access token is unique and belongs to an individual client. If you don't have your access token, you can ask for yours by contacting your account manager.

Authentication format

Now that you have your access token, you can perform requests.
Each request to an API have to contain the access token in the Authorization header.
A typical request should look like this:

curl -X GET \
  https://api.goodays.co/v2/places \
  -H 'Authorization: {access-token}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Errors

If your request causes an authentication error, the response will contain an error object. The error object includes information to help you resolve the problem.

The information included in the error object varies depending on the error, but all error objects include a code, which is a short, readable key to help you identify the error. Here are the Authentication error codes:

Privacy

Anyone with your access token can read, update and delete your resources, so keep your token safe! Also, don't commit to source control with your access token in your code — use a placeholder like ACCESS_TOKEN instead.
