Authentication
When using ĀLO SDKs you will need to provide an authentication token for each of your ĀLO users that will need access to the ĀLO Cloud Platform.
In order to generate a token for a given user you will need the following:
- ĀLO Cloud user id for the user that needs access. See the User API for information on obtaining user information.
To get a token you must perform a POST a request to the ĀLO Authorization Service
POST https://auth.alo.ai/v1/auth
Headers:
- Authorization: Bearer <DeveloperApiKey>
Payload:
- ttl
- user
Payload Key | Type | Required | Default | Description |
ttl | integer | No | 1440 | Time in minutes for which granted access is valid. Min is 1, Max is 525600. |
user | object | Yes | | A collection of custom private claims used to share information with ALO |
Key | Type | Required | Description |
id | string | Yes | Unique ĀLO Cloud ID for the user to grant access to |
POST https://auth.alo.ai/v1/auth
Headers:
- Authorization: Bearer jjPP43dkEJHzzzlIYSGVt8HE5xOAtz1
Payload:
- user: { id: "A744d43X-3316-56f7-a6a3-99ecbbd44agg" }
- ttl: 60
Response:
{ token: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwSJRMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c" }
You should generate user authentication tokens in a server side function so that you do not expose your ĀLO Developer API Key in client side code.
