Request an access token

POST https://auth.sitecorecloud.io/oauth/token

Make a POST request to request an access token. Replace the placeholder values with your API key and API secret.

In the response, the access_token key contains the access token.

curl -X POST 'https://auth.sitecorecloud.io/oauth/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=<APIKey>' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=<APISecret>' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'audience=https://api.sitecorecloud.io'

{
    "access_token": "<accessToken>",
    "scope": "personalize.decision_models:manage personalize.templates:manage personalize.external_webservices:manage personalize.flows:manage",
    "expires_in": 900,
    "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Important

Access tokens expire in 24 hours. If your requests unexpectedly return a response with status 401 Unauthorized, request a new access token by repeating this POST request.

We recommend that you cache the access token for 24 hours to avoid repeating this POST request while the access token is still valid.

You can now start making REST API requests. You must include the access token in the request header of every REST API request. For example:

curl -X GET '<baseURL>/v2/...' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <accessToken>' \
-H 'Accept: application/json'
