# Authentication

### Authentication

The API uses a Bearer token for authentication. To get one, we must first make an call to our authentication endpoint with the credentials we get from the Journeys system `Client ID` and a `Client Secret.`

When requesting a token, we use a JSON body to authenticate.

\
The endpoint to use is:

```
https://journeys-api.50skills.app/v1/auth/token/
```

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example request" %}

```json
{
  "client_id": "8s236ed66a5233443783ff7ffb0d91",
  "client_secret": "167632e0971219af444cab35d11858ac18ad9f70",
  "token_type:": "Bearer"
}  
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example response" %}

```json
{
  "expires_in": 35999,
  "access_token": "b8a281906f575c63c79a1d25b72b54ef3a2ecfa0",
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}    
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Using the token

After receiving the Token, you are ready to start using the public endpoints available.

Authorization type we use is ***Bearer*** where the Token generated earlier is used along with the Prefix **Bearer**
