Authorizing Requests

In most cases, when sending requests to the DaaS services, the request includes a header that contains an authorization code. The authorization code is acquired by sending a request to DAE’s DaaS token service.

PHP

<?php
include('vendor/rmccue/requests/library/Requests.php');
Requests::register_autoloader();
$headers = array(
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json'

$data = '{ "username":"your_username", "password":"your_password" }';
$response = Requests::post('https://api.disasteraware.com/authorize', $headers, $data);

Python

import requests

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

data = '{ "username":"your_username", "password":"your_password" }'

response = requests.post('https://api.disasteraware.com/authorize', headers=headers, data=data)

Please use the provided credentials to complete this request. The response will include a JSON Web Token (JWT) that you will send with the Authorization request header in the following format:

{
    "Authorization": "Bearer <insert-json-web-token>"
}
