Authentication

Authentication

The Snapbooks API uses Bearer token authentication. To authenticate your requests, you need to include an Authorization header with a valid access token.

Getting an Access Token

  1. First, create a user account at Snapbooks
  2. Once logged in, go to your account settings to generate an API token
  3. Store this token securely - it will be used for all API requests

Using the Token

Include the token in the Authorization header of your requests:

Authorization: Bearer your-token-here

Example request:

curl -X GET \
  https://api.snapbooks.no/snapbooks/api/v2/users/me \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-token-here'

Token Expiration

Access tokens are valid for 24 hours. After expiration, you’ll need to generate a new token from your account settings.

Security Considerations

  • Never share your access token
  • Store tokens securely
  • Rotate tokens regularly
  • Use HTTPS for all API requests
