0Auth 2.0 standardized access tokens allow authenticated requests to be made to the Pipevest API. This document will guide you on how to create, and delete authentication tokens.

​
Creating an Auth Token

To create an Auth Token:
Make a POST request to /auth
  curl --request POST \
    --url https://api.pipevest.com/v1/auth\
    --header 'Content-Digest: sha-512=:RK/0qy18MlBSVnWgjwz6lZEWjP/lF5HF9bvEF8FabDg=:' \
    --header 'Content-Length: 18' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
    --header 'Signature: sig1=:OTEyMjY4...A5NTNDMEQ=:' \
    --header 'Signature-Input: sig1=("Authorization" "Content-Digest" "Content-Length" "Content-Type" "X-Client-Id" "X-Idempotency-Key" "@method" "@target-uri" "@path" "@query");keyid="staging-pipevest-ed25519";created=1732893484;expires=1732893584' \
    --header 'X-Idempotency-Key: 123456' \
    ...
    --data 'clientId=123456'
    --data 'clientSecret=some-secret'
The resulting access token has a TTL of 60 mins.

​
Revoke Auth Token

To revoke an auth token:
Make a DELETE request to /auth
  curl --request DELETE \
    --url https://api.pipevest.com/v1/auth?accessTokenId=123456\
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer 123456' \
    --header 'Signature: sig1=:OTEyMjY4...A5NTNDMEQ=:' \
    --header 'Signature-Input: sig1=("Authorization" "X-Client-Id" "X-Idempotency-Key" "@method" "@target-uri" "@path" "@query");keyid="staging-pipevest-ed25519";created=1732893484;expires=1732893584' \
    --header 'X-Client-Id: 123456' \
    --header 'X-Idempotency-Key: 123456' \
