How to Start Using the API

Before accessing the API, you need to create a user account on HandyFeeling User web.

Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Request an Account Invitation

• Visit the invitation request page here to get started.
• Fill in the necessary information to request an invitation to sign up.

Step 2: Complete the Registration Process

• Once you receive your invitation, follow the provided instructions to complete the registration process.
• After successfully registering, you will be provided an access token.

Important Information about Your Access Token:

• Usage: This access token is your key to log into your account. It's critical for managing your potential account settings, preferences, etc.
• Restriction: The access token cannot be used for direct API interactions. Its purpose is strictly limited to account access and management.

Step 3: Issue API Tokens (Application ID/Key)

• After logging into your account with your access token, navigate to the section where you can issue API tokens.
• These API tokens are what you'll use for authenticating and interacting with the API for your development needs.

API access and authentication

Two types of authentication tokens can be issued to access the API:

• Application ID
• Application Key

Each is intended used for different scenarios, balancing ease of use with security.

Application ID:

• Purpose: The Application ID is intended for scenarios where only limited API access is required, and/or you might not have a server-side component in your application or website architecture. It can be used directly within client-side code, such as JavaScript running in a web browser. It will only provide access to non privileged API endpoints.
