API Reference

Authentication

Blue API (BETA) authentication is now available here. Check it out.
Authentication for Wave (OpenAPI) is separated at the moment. We will be unifying all logins for all our APIs going forward. An announcement will be made once it's done.
Before you can access Alphaus API services, you need to get an access token first. You will then use this token in your succeeding calls to the API using the Authorization: Bearer {token} HTTP header. Alphaus API tokens are JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
Use the following endpoints to acquire product-specific access tokens. Tokens are not compatible between the two. Ripple access tokens can only be used for Ripple endpoints; Wave access tokens are only valid on Wave endpoints.
1
# Ripple

# Wave

Using bluectl
You can also use our bluectl CLI tool to generate access tokens. It is designed to work with the client_credentials grant type, although it supports the password grant type as well. To set the required environment variables for authentication, check out this document.
