1. Request Authentication Token


You need a valid authentication token before making API calls.

Send a POST request to the following URL to receive an authentication token.


https://api.myacolad.com/token


When requesting a token, you will need to pass in the following x-www-form-urlencoded values: "username", "password", and a "grant_type" of "password".

2. Passing Authentication Token In Header


After you've received a valid authentication token, you need to pass this token inside of the header of each request to the API.

Within the header of your request, include the following key value pair: "Authorization" and "[insert authentication token received in step one]".
