How to use SL APIs as consumer

Syncloop Platform Setup:

  • Create a consumer group
  • Create a new consumer user (System user)
  • Assign this consumer user to the consumer group
  • Consumer users should not be assigned to “developer” or “admin” groups
  • Update the APIs you want to expose, to have that consumer group access

Consumer application:

  • Consumer application will store the consumer user credentials in the application
  • Consumer application will call SL getToken API and pass the user credentials to generate a token
  • Default duration for the token is 30 days, this duration can be defined during the getToken API call
  • This token can be used to call any API created on SL with a defined “Consumer group”.
  • When the token expires, Consumer application can generate a new token using the same getToken API

Details for getToken API -

Endpoint: <host:port>/jwt/basic

Params (optional) :
