Authentication

Introduction to API Authentication​

API authentication is a critical aspect of securing your application's interactions with our services. It ensures that only authorized users and systems can access our APIs, safeguarding your data and operations from unauthorized access. Our product integration supports basic authentication, a simple yet effective method for validating user credentials and securing API requests.

Basic Authentication Overview​

Basic authentication requires clients to send an HTTP header with their username and password encoded in Base64. This approach ensures that the credentials are transmitted securely over HTTPS.

To access our APIs, you need to obtain an authentication token. Follow the steps below to request your token:

  1. Email the Request:

    • Send an email to our support team to support@superprocure.com & integration@superprocure.com
