Calls

Basic Authentication

3min

The first step to making calls using the API is to provide the correct authentication details. If you have not already been set up with an account, ask that the owner of your account invite you as an API admin. Once invited, you are able to log in the back end of the system, navigate to admin management (under the settings tab), click on your admin account, and collect your details. If you have any trouble collecting these details, please contact [email protected] and they will be able to assist you.
