User management with REST API - Preview

The User Management REST API are currently in Preview Status. You may report questions or feedback to your inWebo presales contact.

This documentation describes the list of Web Services that are part of inWebo user management API and how to call them with REST methods.

API token

The API token is a cryptic string, in this case generated by inWebo, for a specific customer. Bearer authentication (also known as token authentication) uses tokens to identify and authenticate the user making the API call. This method grant access to the bearer of this token. The client must send this token in the Authorization header when sending a request to the inWebo REST API endpoints.

Using this application, you can generate tokens for our REST API. These API tokens have a standard duration of 13 months.

Security prerequisite

API tokens must be transported through a secure channel such as Transport Layer Security (HTTPS).
Authentication is not sufficient in exchanges when the Token is received, because the tokens could be intercepted by an malicious party if the token is not secured during transmission and storage.

Generate a new API token

To generate an inWebo API token, you have to use the inWebo adminisatration Console V2.

Please, refer to the inWebo admin console V2 documentation to get more information.

Prerequisite → You should have an access to an activated inWebo console as an administrator

To generate new API token from the inWebo admin console V2:

• Go to the “API token” tab

• Click on “Add API token”

• Indicate:

  

  • your PIN code

  • the expire date (or check the “Never expires”)

  • a description

• Click on Generate.

• Click on OK to validate the API Token generation.

  

• Your API Token has successfully been generated. Click on Edit to see it and copy it.

Use the API token

To use the API Token in API calls, add the API token in the header of the REST API call .
e.g, for curl add -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxyyyyyyzzzzzz" or  --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxyyyyyyzzzzzz'

Test inWebo REST API

• You can find our REST API documentation at the following address: https://kiwi.myinwebo.com/auth/apidocs/public/resources.html

• You can also try our REST API at the following address (using Swagger): https://kiwi.myinwebo.com/auth/apidocs/public/ui/index.html

  • To be noted → In the Swagger catalog, when testing the API, please indicate a correct bearer token preceded by "Bearer " in the Authorization field.

    

Samples of User Management API calls

You'll find here 2 samples of API calls and their use that you'll find in our API catalog

• List or search Accounts

• Create an Account

Paging and "hasMore" value

Some of the results of the API calls are paginated. To know when the results exceed the value of the "limit" defined in your REST request, you must check the value "hasMore" in the result .json.

• If in the result .json the value "hasMore" returns "false" it means that there is no next page and it is not necessary to continue.

• If in the result .json the value "hasMore" returns "true", this means that the result of this request continues on the next page, you will have to re-launch the same request but increasing the value "page" by 1.

• Initial "page" value: 0

• max "limit" value: 100

List or search Accounts

Use GET requests to retrieve the list of user Accounts or *requested accounts of an inWebo Service.

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxyyyyyyzzzzzz' 'https://kiwi.myinwebo.com/auth/v1/customer/services/accounts?page=0&limit=50'

Invoke-RestMethod command to retrieve the list of accounts in PowerShell

$Url = "https://kiwi.myinwebo.com/auth/v1/customer/services/accounts?page=0&limit=50"
$token = "xxxxxxyyyyyyzzzzzz"

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer $token")

$ResultURL =  Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Get' -Uri $Url -Headers $headers
