To use the flour API, you need an API key.
flour’s Web API supports the use of API Keys. API Keys allow you to use another method of authentication separate from your account username and password. There are different types of API keys, each with specific allowed URLs and corresponding limitations on the number of requests. API Keys can be generated in your account. To use keys, you must set a plain text header named “Authorization” with the contents of the header being “Bearer XXX” where XXX is your API Secret Key.
For further information, please contact the flour support team.
How to create an API key?
- Log in to the flour application with your username and password
- Navigate to the section "Einstellungen" of your account
- Look for the option labeled "API Schlüssel" and select this tag.
- Click on the "Add" button to create a new API key.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to generate your API key.
Please note:
The generated API key will be displayed to you only once. Please copy the key and keep it in a secure place. This API key is required to make requests to our interface.
Example Header:
GET <https://api.flour.cloud/api/v2/resource> HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <<your api key>>
