Server Side API

Authentication

How to authenticate your calls to the Just Sign In API

Find Your App Id

When making calls to the API, you will need to include your App Id. This is the identifier of the Website you have configured within the Just Sign In Dashboard, that is the context for your API call. If you haven't yet configured a Website in the Dashboard, you will need to do that first.

To find your App Id:
  1. Go to My Dashboard
  2. Navigate to the Websites tab
  3. Click on the API Access Keys link for the Website you want to use for your API call
  4. Your App Id will be displayed on the API Access Keys page

Create Your App Secret

Your App Secret allows access to retrieve and modify your users' data. You must keep your App Secret confidential and only use it to make API calls from your secure server environments.

To create your App Secret:
  1. Go to My Dashboard
  2. Navigate to the Websites tab
  3. Click on the API Access Keys link for the Website you want to use for your API call
  4. Click the Create New App Secret link
  5. Enter a name for your App Secret, and click the Create App Secret button
  6. Your new App Secret will then be displayed
  7. Copy and save your App Secret, because it will not be available later
