How to retrieve a token via Postman to access the Wemap content API?

The Wemap platform provides you with a REST API to create or update your content and/or maps. Access requires authentication via a Bearer token and an Authorization Header.

Here are the steps to retrieve your token if you are using Postman:

1. Retrieve or create the connection information on your Wemap Pro account in the developer settings of your profile.

2. Go to https://www.postman.com/ to retrieve a token (authentication token).

3. Create a new POST request and enter this URL:

https://api.getwemap.com/v3.0/oauth2/token

In the "Authorization" section:

4. Choose a "Basic" type.

5. Fill in the "username" (= client_id) and "password" (= client_secret) fields with the connection information retrieved from your Wemap Pro account.

In the "Body" section:

6. Select "/x-www-form-urlencoded" and fill in the following fields:

• "key": grant_type / "value": client_credentials
• "key": client_id / "value": available on your Wemap Pro account

7. Send the request and obtain the "access_token".

You can now use the token for your requests to the Wemap content API.

8. Create a new GET request and enter this URL.

In the "Headers" section:

9. Fill in the following fields:

• "key": Authorization / "value": "Bearer" and the token separated by a space

10. Execute the request.
