Authentication

Authentication is currently done through api_key authentication. You can retrieve these keys from the dashboard. You can then provide the api_key in the x-vital-api-key header of your request. For instance:

Copiedcurl --request GET
  --url '{{BASE_URL}}/v2/providers'
  --header 'x-vital-api-key: <YOUR-API-KEY>'

Authentication was previously handled using Bearer tokens. To generate a token use your client_id and client_secret and make a call to the respective auth endpoint.


`sandbox`	https://auth.sandbox.tryvital.io/oauth/token
`production`	https://auth.tryvital.io/oauth/token

Copiedcurl --request POST
  --url 'https://auth.sandbox.tryvital.io/oauth/token'
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
  --data grant_type=client_credentials
  --data client_id=**
  --data client_secret=**
  --data audience=https://api.sandbox.tryvital.io

We have both NodeJs and Python Clients which handle authentication and refresh tokens. In the case you want to request these yourself you can make the request as outlined below.
