Authentication

Authentication

There are two ways to authenticate the OFN API:

• Via the browser

• Using an API key

To authenticate via the browser go to the URL of the OFN instance you wish to connect with and login via the browser. You can then make API calls in the browser or from your local machine and the API will recognise your session. This is a great way to do some quick testing.

To authenticate using an API key you will need to contact the Instance Manager of the instance you wish to connect with to have access enabled. The best way to do this is via our global Slack. You can join here and then ask for help in the #general channel. People will direct you to the right person/channel to ask.
