Authentication

Getting your API token

To access your unique API token, navigate to the "My Profile" section of the application. Click your avatar or username in the top right corner of the main navigation to open the dropdown, then select your profile.

My Profile

On your profile page, find the "API Authentication" section. Use "Show" to reveal your API token—a string of alphanumeric characters unique to your account.

Show Key

Using your token

Send the token in the Authorization header of every API request using the Bearer scheme:

Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}

Replace {your_access_token} with the token value from your profile. Example:

GET /api/v1/org/12345/proj/67890/readings/56
Authorization: Bearer your_token_here

Security

  • Keep your token confidential. Do not commit it to source control or share it in channels where others can see it.
  • Treat it like a password. Anyone with the token can access the API with your permissions.
  • If you suspect the token has been exposed, contact support@sensly.io to discuss next steps.
