Login API​

Request Data​

The request must include the following data in JSON format:

  • username: The user's username.
  • password: The user's password.

Example Request​

A typical request to the Login API might include the user's username and password as follows:

{
  "username": "username",
  "password": "yourpassword"
}

Using Personal Access Tokens​

Personal Access Tokens (PATs) can be created from the RepoFlow website under Account Settings and used in two ways:

1. Bearer Token​

You can use the personal access token as a bearer token in the Authorization header of your requests.

  • Header:

    Authorization: Bearer <personal-access-token>

  • Example Request:

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <personal-access-token>" https://api.repoflow.io/endpoint

2. Basic Authentication​

You can use the personal access token as the password in Basic Authentication. When doing so, the username should be set to "token".

  • Header:

    Authorization: Basic <base64("token:<personal-access-token>")>

  • Example Request:

    curl -u "token:<personal-access-token>" https://api.repoflow.io/endpoint
