Authentication

You will receive a client id and client secret that can be used to generate an access token. To generate the token, create a post request to https://api.avercast.com/login_api_client  

The post request requires a json body with three elements: client_id, client_secret, and dataset. If you only have one Avercast database, the dataset element can be omitted. The request must also have a Content-Type header with value “application\json” 

{ 

  "client_id" : "<my client id>", 

  "client_secret" : "<my client secret>", 

  "dataset" : "<avercast_clientdataset1>" 

}
