REST Logon

To request access for your application to access information via the Kapta API on behalf of a user, do the following:

1. Obtain an API Key and API Secret for your application. For more information on this step, see the API Applications documentation. It may be desirable to create an API user in Kapta. If you'd like to do so just make a request to support@kapta.com.
2. Post the following parameters to the API logon request:

   POST

   https://api.kaptasystems.com/auth/login/v2/logonaccesstoken

   Parameter Name	Description	Type	More Information
   client_id	The API Key from the API Application Details page.	string	Required.
   client_secret	The API Secret from the API Application Details page.	string	Required.
   redirect_uri	The application Redirect URI specified while creating an API Application.	string	Required.
   password	The password of the user you are trying to impersonate in Kapta.	string	Required.

   cURL

   curl -d "client_id=CLIENTID&client_secret=CLIENTSECRET&email=EMAIL&scope=SCOPE&redirect_uri=REDIRECTURI&password=PASSWORD" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST https://api.kaptasystems.com/auth/login/logonaccesstoken
3. If the request was successful, it will return JSON containing an access_token. Use this token to authorize API calls by placing it in the Authorization header of each request:

   Authorization Header

   Authorization: token TOKENPROVIDED

   cURL

   curl -H "Authorization: token TOKENPROVIDED" https://api.kaptasystems.com/v1/person/objectives
