API Key Login

POST 
/api/login

To call the API with an API Key, first issue an API call to the backend to receive a short-lived bearer token. Send a request to /api/login with the following keys in the body of the request. You can use either the x-www-form-urlencoded format or the application/json format:

  • For x-www-form-urlencoded, provide the parameters client_id, client_secret, and grant_type in the request body. This variant will respond with a redirect to meshStack's IdP. You must configure your client to follow the redirect or handle it manually.
  • For application/json, provide a JSON object with clientId and clientSecret fields. This variant will respond directly with an access token and related fields, without a redirect. We recommend using the JSON variant for most integrations.

Choose the format that best fits your integration scenario, but prefer the JSON variant for simplicity and direct access to the token.
