Authentication

Create a token

Visit this page. Select Generate Access Token then Sign In to Developer Portal.

Use your token in a header (Recommended)

The most secure and recommended authorization method is to pass your token in a header:

Authorization: Bearer <<apiKey>>

Use your token in a URL

For easy debugging and specific applications, it can be helpful to pass your token in the URL:

https://api.tessie.com/vehicles?access_token=<<apiKey>>

❗️

This is potentially less secure.

We recommend not passing your access token in the URL on insecure networks or behind VPNs where traffic logs could potentially be snooped.
