Getting a temporary access token

GET https://slemma.com/api/v1/auth-service/{UserKey}

Generates temporary user tokens for individual users.

Returns

Returns a new temporary user token for this user. This temporary token is valid for only 5 minutes.

❗️

Warning

User Token must be kept secret and transferred only over SSL, as it's effectively as good as a user's email and password.

Using temporary token

For authorization in Slemma use the Java script to send a POST request to a specific dashboard (for example, https://slemma.com/infographics/634862) with the received temporary token (parameter name is 'token') and team identifier (parameter name is 'teamid').

HTML

<form action="https://slemma.com/infographics/634862" target="_blank" method="POST"> 
				  Team ID
				  <input type="text" name="teamid">
				  <br/>
				  Temporary token
				  <input type="text" name="token">
				  <br/>	  
				  <input type="submit">
			</form>

After successful authorization, the target dashboard will open.
