Activate API
Questions:
- How can I enable a user for API access?
- How can I connect external systems to TYRIOS?
Description:
TYRIOS has an extensive API interface. This is used by our frontend and our mobile apps as standard. It is also possible to use the API for a direct real-time connection to third-party systems. As usual in TYRIOS, the functions provided depend on the authorisations of the respective user. Only very few API functions are available without user access. As a rule, you must therefore authorise a user to use the API.
Solution:
- As a user with extended rights, go to the customer area > User management > Manage users
- Search for the appropriate user and click on "Edit user" in the line menu
- Click on the "API" tab
- Activate "Activate REST API". You must now enter an API secret. This should be as long as possible to ensure a high level of system security.
- Save the user
The user can now authenticate themselves to the API and use all functions for which the user has the necessary authorisations.
Tips and Tricks:
The REST-API in TYRIOS uses BASIC-AUTHENTICATION for authentication. You must enter the user name and the API secret here.
