Get Access token

An access token lets you safely connect to Robotiq.ai APIs. You need one to read KPI data or to make API calls that run jobs.

What You'll Need

• Access to Robotiq.ai HQ
• An application already set up in HQ. If you don't have one, see Add a new application.

How to Get an Access Token

Follow these steps to create an access token for your application.

Step 1: Go to Your Application

1. Log in to Robotiq.ai HQ.
2. Go to the Applications section.
3. Pick the application you want to use.

Step 2: Create the Token

1. On the application's details page, click the GET ACCESS TOKEN button.
2. The system shows three keys: client_id, client_secret, and grant_type.
3. The values for these keys will appear.

Important: Access tokens work for 30 minutes. After that, you'll need to make a new one.

Step 3: Copy API Details

1. The window also shows the API URL.
2. Click the + button next to the API URL to copy it automatically.

Step 4: Use the Access Token

You can now use this access token (Bearer token) with any application to get data from Robotiq.ai APIs.

For example, you can use a second API call to:

• Get KPI data. See Reading KPI data.
• Run jobs.
