All Fluid Topics web services that return protected data require the caller to enter credentials. If credentials are not provided, Fluid Topics returns a 401 UNAUTHORIZED error code.
Callers can authenticate by using:
-
An API key or JWT token (Bearer authentication)
The portal must have a working JWT realm for users to be able to authenticate with a JSON Web Token (JWT).
-
A username and password (basic access authentication)
Basic authentication is not compatible with multi-factor authentication.
- Fluid Topics encodes API keys to base64.
- Fluid Topics supports both prefixed and unprefixed authentication headers.
