OpenApply v1 API Authentication & Reference Documentation

Generating Credentials

OpenApply’s v1 API uses API key token authentication. You can simply set the header `auth-token`  to the api token generated in the API manager in OpenApply. The tokens give unlimited access to all the public API endpoints. To generate a new API key: 

1. Navigate to Integrations
2. Click on Public API
3. Enable the public API if the checkbox hasn’t been selected yet.
4. Click Add Token and enter the Application name you will use it for, so that you can recognise any tokens for applications you no longer want to authorise.  The token is 'permanent' until you disable it.
5. Save Changes
6. Use the copy button to copy the token.
7. To access the documentation for the API, click on the API Documentation link. This will open the v3 API documentation, which is exactly the same apart from the authentication method information.  To view the v1 documentation, just change the link in the address bar to "v1"
