Access Tokens

Access tokens are used to gain access to restricted endpoints such as /persons. You can request a temporary token using the following process:

1. Go to Postman.com

2. Create a free account using your davidson credentials

3. Request access to the Davidson College API - Campus Development Workspace: https://app.getpostman.com/join-team?invite_code=7f3cb8a936aec1d6e7d1bfecef66a2b5&ws=ef19cb11-26a2-45f8-891a-3d06f24384b0

4. In the left hand corner select Collections, then click on "/API/V1/", you should see "Authorization" as the highlighted tab that you are currently on.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Get New Access Token"

6. You might be prompted to give permission for your information to be used to make the API requests

7. Once back in postman, select "Save" in the top right hand corner of the center panel

8. Go to your desired endpoint and test it out!
