Authenticates

The authenticates endpoint returns a bearer token. You need the token to call every other API endpoint. Tokens expire after 1 hour.

NexHealth bearer tokens are JSON Web Tokens. Read the introduction to JSON Web Tokens and find libraries for working with them.

To get a bearer token, send a request like this:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://nexhealth.info/authenticates \
     --header 'Nex-Api-Version: v3.0.0' \
     --header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY'

A successful request returns a bearer token in the response body:

{
    "code": true,
    "description": "Authenticated",
    "error": null,
    "data": {
        "token": "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"
    },
    "count": null
}

Using bearer tokens

Once you have a bearer token, add the string "Bearer" before it in your Authorization header, as shown below.

--header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN'
