Headers

๐Ÿšง

Authentication

Messaging API v1 supports both "key" and JWT based authentication. The method of authentication can be selected under the API settings tab in a service.

If you are passing both JWT authentication and Service Key in an API request, the JWT authentication takes priority.

Generating the JWT Token

Connect uses a subset of the JWT fields, described here:

alg
A string used in the header, identifying the algorithm used to encode the payload. The alg value is always HS256 when exchanging messages with Business Chat.

iss
A claim that is a string identifying the principal that issued the JWT. The value is always the Service ID when exchanging messages with API v1.

iat
A claim that is a numeric dateโ€”that is, an integerโ€”identifying the time at which the JWT was issued. The value is the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z UTC until the specified UTC date and time, ignoring leap seconds. For more information, see the Terminology section in RFC 7519.

A Service Secret that is a Base64-encoded string. Decode the string before using the key to sign the JWT

A decoded JWT token should contain the following -

header
{
  "alg": HS256,
}
claims
{
  "iss": <Service ID>,
  "iat": <issued at unix-timestamp (in seconds)>
}
