Authentication

All API endpoints are secured with Bearer Token authentication to ensure data privacy and secure access. To authenticate API requests, you need a valid Bearer Token, which acts as your access key to interact with the Uplift API.

​

How to Get a Bearer Token

To obtain a Bearer Token, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Capture web app.
2. Go to the API Keys section within your account settings.
3. Generate a new API key. This key is your Bearer Token, used to authorize requests to Uplift’s API.

Ensure you keep this token secure—treat it like a password. It grants access to various resources and services, so it should not be shared or hard-coded in publicly accessible environments.

​

Using the Bearer Token

When making requests to any Uplift API endpoint, include the token in the Authorization header, like so:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Note: In this documentation, the terms API Key and token are used interchangeably.

This token is required for all API requests to authenticate your identity and authorize access. If the token is missing or invalid, the API will return a 401 Unauthorized response.
