Create Sandbox Account
After subscription, the Bizao Team will give you an ACCESS_TOKEN to use as Header in all calls you will make to our APIs:
Sample of an BASIC_TOKEN
1. Main credentials
At subscription the Bizao team will provide you with :
a CLIENT_ID : Sample “N2xe7xzk25FZEnS0YgmlD10a”
a CLIENT_SECRET : Sample “N2xe7xzk25FZEnS0YgmlD10a”
2. Generate your ACCESS_TOKEN
Here are the steps to generate your ACCESS_TOKEN :
• Step 1 : Generate YOUR BASIC_TOKEN
Generate a BASIC_TOKEN based on your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET encoded in base64. See the sample below:
CLIENT_ID : “N2xe7xzk25FZEnS0YgmlD10a””
CLIENT_SECRET : “xpPDskBI9GKpbPjkHJrAN6Qa”
YOUR BASIC TOKEN : ”TjJ4ZTd4emsyNUZaRW5TMFlnbWxEMTBhOnhwUERza0JJOUdLcGJQamtISnJBTjZRY Q==“
You can visit this website to generate your BASIC_TOKEN by encoding your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET under the following format : CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET
Encode to Base64 format
Below a code sample on how to generate your ACCESS_TOKEN using PHP :
PHP
1 ‹?php
2 $id = “N2xe7xzk25FZEnS0YgmlD10a”;
3 $secret = “xpPDskBI9GKpbPjkHJrAN6Qa”;
4 $yourBasicAuthorization = base64_encode(“$id:$secret”);
5 echo $yourBasicAuthorization;
6 ?›
• Step 2 :
Make a request to the endpoint https://api.www.bizao.com/token by providing your generated BASIC_TOKEN ( here TjJ4ZTd4emsyNUZaRW5TMFlnbWxEMTBhOnhwUERza0JJOUdLcGJQamtISnJBTjZRYQ== ).
cURL
1 curl —location —request POST ‘https://api.www.bizao.com/token’ \
2 -H ‘authorization : Basic TjJ4ZTd4emsyNUZaRW5TMFlnbWxEMTBhOnhwUERza0JJOUdLcGJQamtISnJBTjZRYQ==‘ \
3 -H ‘content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ \
4 -d ‘grant_type=client_credentials’ \
As long as your BASIC_TOKEN is valid, this request will give you the same token with the remaining time in seconds before expiration (see expires_in parameter).
After the expiration date, this request will regenerate a new BASIC_TOKEN
