Authentication

Secure your API requests with Scan2Evolve authentication methods.

Creating API credentials

Before making API calls, you need to create API credentials in your account. Navigate to Admin → Settings → Organisation → API Credentials to generate your client_id and client_secret.

Bearer tokens expire after 1 day of inactivity.If you haven't used a Bearer token for 24 hours, you'll need to generate a new one. Active usage resets the expiration timer. HTTP Basic Authentication credentials do not expire and remain valid until manually revoked.

Including credentials in requests

Add your credentials to the Authorization header for every API request. For Bearer tokens, use the format: Authorization: Bearer se_7670cb6c62d8d08c7035a74b099902c8b299712e6a18cf88dd5537523595db62

Scan2Evolve supports two authentication methods:

HTTP Basic Authentication: Use your client_id and client_secretdirectly, base64-encoded in the Authorization header. This method never expires.
Bearer Token: Generate a single-use token from your credentials. Tokens expire after 1 day of inactivity but are convenient for long-running integrations.

Both methods provide the same level of security. Choose based on your integration needs. Credentials are generated exclusively from your account settings and remain under your control.
