Authentication

There are two different types of authentication required based on the functionality you are trying to access. This guide will explain to you what they are and show you how to use them.

Admin Functionality 🔒

Sign In with Ethereum (SIWE) is used to create access tokens to communicate with the authenticated endpoints on the Asset Register API (🔒).

You can generate these tokens using this helper tool. The contents generated in the Authorization box, after you sign, should be used as the Authorization header when making API calls.

Asset Register 🔑

Any updates made to the asset register through a transaction (i.e. asset links) will need to be signed by a wallet, similar to any other blockchain transaction (🔑).

Sign and Send! the Asset Link Operations guide explains how you can sign Asset Register transactions.
