EPISHIP’s security services give administrators control over API access, allowing for the generation and management of API tokens that authorize your application to interact with the platform on behalf of your company.

The REST API that enforces security by requiring a valid Bearer token in the header of every request to a protected endpoint.

Header Configuration

A standard HTTP requirement where the `Authorization` key is paired with the value `”Bearer {API_TOKEN}”` to validate the client’s identity before processing any data.

Protected Endpoints
