How to Obtain a Token

First, you need to authenticate with the API to get an access token. The token is returned in the set-cookie header of the response.

Note: Replace YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_PASSWORD with your actual credentials. To obtain credentials, contact the TWIN team or check the playground documentation.

Standard Playground API Call:

curl -i --location 'https://playground-api.twindev.org/authentication/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "email": "YOUR_EMAIL",
    "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}'

Sandbox API Call:

curl -i --location 'https://playground-aws-api.twindev.org/authentication/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "email": "YOUR_EMAIL",
    "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}'

After running the command, extract the access_token from the set-cookie header for use in subsequent requests.

Troubleshooting Token Acquisition​

  • If you don't see a token, make sure your curl command includes the -i flag to show response headers.
  • Tokens expire, so you may need to re-authenticate to get a new one.
