Authorization Mode

This topic describes how to use the GET:/v1.0/token API. The following two modes are available.

Simple mode

In simple mode, you can only access data from your SaaS projects. Each platform account corresponds to a single SaaS instance.

Authorization mode

In authorization mode, you can access SaaS data of other authorized users. When you call the API, two key parameters are required: code and associate_id.

Generate code and associate_id

To generate code and associate_id, perform the following steps:

1. Contact the account manager to facilitate SaaS developer registration.

2. Log in to the SaaS platform.

3. In the project where API calls are required, select API Authorization from the left-side panel, and then click Authorization initialization.

   

4. Enter the cloud project code and click Add. After you select the desired API for authorization, click Save to complete the authorization process. Each project requires API authorization.
