Set Up FP Sign API Authentication
Account types
Authentication can be performed using two types of accounts:
1. User Account (1:1 Authentication)
A standard user authenticates and can only access and manage their own data.
-
The user logs in (e.g., John Doe).
-
The user can only create, view, and download resources related to their own account.
2. Technical / Service Account (1:X Authentication)
A technical (service) account is used for API integrations and can operate on behalf of the entire organization.
-
The technical user logs in.
-
The technical user can create, manage, and retrieve data for all users within the organization (e.g., John Doe, Rich Roe, etc.).

Authenticating with a bearertoken
Exchange credentials with FP Sign for a bearertoken. It is used for the header "Authorization" for API requests.
The token is valid for 30 minutes and must be renewed or recreated when expired.
Authentication with API-key
Authenticate by using an API-key. It is used for the header "FPSign-API-Key" for API requests.
An API-key can be created for each user (normal or technical) with the following API endpoints.
