Each api call expects the authorization token in the request header. To generate it, you should follow the next steps.

Generate token

Important: the generated token will be valid for 14 days.

1. Create a request with the following properties:

• Base url: https://api.acuitytrading.com/token
• Http method: POST
• ContentType: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
• X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest

The body content depends on where the call is from:

• Body: {grant_type=password&username=’client_username’&password=’client_password’}

C# Sample

    var client = new RestClient("https://api.acuitytrading.com/token");
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
    request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    request.AddParameter("undefined", "grant_type=password&username=client_username&password=client_password, ParameterType.RequestBody);
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

2. Call and capture the token: You will receive the following result format:

    "access_token": "...",
    "token_type": "...",
    "expires_in": "...",
    "userName": "...",

Append authorization token to api call

Once you have the token, you should append it on the api call as a header in the following format:

• Header key: Authorization
• Value key: “Bearer {access_token}"

C# Sample:

    var client = new RestClient("https://api.acuitytrading.com/api/assettypes");
    var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
    request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer {your_token}");
    IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
