Authentication

You'll need to authenticate your requests to access any of the endpoints in the Feedier API. In this guide, we'll look at how authentication works. Feedier offers two ways to authenticate your API requests: Basic authentication and Bearer with a token — Bearer is the recommended way.

Bearer authentication (recommended)

The recommended way to authenticate with the Feedier API is by using a Bearer Token. When establishing a connection using Bearer, you will need your access token — you will find it in the Feedier dashboard under API settings. Here's how to add the token to the request header using cURL:

curl https://api.bx.feedier.com/v3/reports \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"

Always keep your token safe and reset it if you suspect it has been compromised.

Basic authentication

With basic authentication, you use your username and password to authenticate your HTTP requests. Unless you have a very good reason, you probably shouldn't use basic auth. Here's how to authenticate using cURL:

curl https://api.bx.feedier.com/v3/reports \
  -u username:password

Please never share your Feedier password with anyone!
