Authentication

To interact with the Qwkl.ink API, you will need to authenticate using API tokens. These tokens ensure secure access to the API, allowing you to make requests on behalf of your account. All API requests require a valid API token to be passed in the headers.

Obtaining an API Token

Qwkl.ink uses toekns for API authentication. Follow the steps below to generate an API token through the Qwkl.ink user interface:

• 1. Login to your Qwkl.ink account.

• 2. Navigate to the API Tokens section from your account dashboard.

• 3. Click on the Create New Token button.

• 4. Enter a descriptive name for your token and assign the appropriate scopes (if needed).

• 5. Click Create, and your token will be generated. Make sure to copy and save your token as it will only be shown once.

Once you have generated your API token, you can use it to authenticate your API requests.

Adding the Token to API Requests

To authenticate with the Qwkl.ink API, you need to include your API token in the `Authorization` header of every request. The token should be passed as a Bearer token.

Example Request with Bearer Token

                    curl -X GET "https://api.qwkl.ink/v1/short-link" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
                    

Replace `your_api_token` with the actual token generated from your account.

HTTP Headers for Authenticated Requests

• `Authorization: Bearer `

• `Content-Type: application/json`

Token Scopes

When generating an API token, you can optionally assign scopes to limit the token’s access to certain actions (e.g., creating links, generating QR codes). Refer to the **Token Scopes** section in the documentation to learn more about available scopes and how to use them for fine-grained control over your API tokens.

Token Management

You can manage your API tokens at any time via the API Tokens section of your

Revoke tokens that are no longer in use.

Create new tokens with different scopes as your needs evolve. By following these steps, you'll securely authenticate your API requests, ensuring proper access to the resources in the Qwkl.ink platform.
