MainBrainer supports JWT Bearer Authentication to authenticate all API requests. Herein, all your API requests must pass an additional access token<\/strong> in their Authorization header. This helps you add an additional layer of security to your account.<\/p>\n

To generate an access token<\/a>, you’ll need to pass your account’s private token in the request header for request authentication.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Here’s how you can access your account’s private token<\/h2>\n

Step 1<\/h2>\n

Navigate to your account’s configuration settings<\/h2>\n

As you log into your account, the top-right corner of the screen displays your Account name, i.e. the name under which you have registered your MainBrainer account.<\/p>\n

Click the Account name to expand the account settings menu and click Configuration <\/strong>(as highlighted in the screenshot below).<\/em><\/p>\n
