To use Maplink’s APIs, you need to generate a bearer tokenfrom your unique credentials.

Each bearer token lasts 60 minutes and can be used by any API. After this interval you will need to generate a new token.

Below is an example of the unique credentials that must be used in a body when generating the bearer token:

client_id: 0wf*************************eqFG
client_secret: 1b***********owE

With the client_id and client_secret, use the following endpoint with the POST method to obtain the bearer token:

https://api.maplink.global/oauth/client_credential/accesstoken?grant_type=client_credentials

Request example

curl -X POST "https://api.maplink.global/oauth/client_credential/accesstoken?grant_type=client_credentials" -H

"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data-urlencode "client_id=0wf*************************eqFG" --data-urlencode "client_secret=1b***********owE"

Response example

The “access_token” : “XBlgpdua80eonaU7FmRjhRsjMe3c” is the one that should be used to authenticate requests from the other APIs for 60 minutes.
