Other ways to request an access token

Whilst not recommended for use in developing an N-Genius Online integration, it is possible for some users to request an access token by using their portal log-in credentials to verify themselves with the identity service.

🚧

User credentials

It is important that user credentials are not used in production systems, or any persistent integration to N-Genius Online. Not only will this represent a significant security risk, user credentials will expire after a given number of days, hence will eventually become invalid.

Therefore, the following overview is intended for use only as a debugging or temporary measure.

Please refer to the Request an access token section for our recommended and secure method for retrieving an access token, using an API key.
