Service Key - example?

Gerry O'Rourke — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 14:06:43 GMT

I understand how you would authenticate if using JWT tokens, but I am unclear on how to use service key for authentication.

My understanding is that the your webhook can use either JWT or Service keys.

if using a service key - how do you pass this in? Is this the HTTP header or body?
If you set it in a header - what is the header name?

Can someone explain with a simple example?

Regards,

Gerry

Gerry, it belongs in the header its name is "key." Curl example of messaging api headers below.

curl --request POST \
--url https://api.yourregion.webexconnect.io/resources/v1/messaging \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'key: abc123' \
--data '
