Authentication

You'll need to authenticate your requests to access any of the endpoints in the Avon Health API. In this guide, we'll look at how authentication works. Avon Health uses OAuth2 with a token to authenticate your API requests.

OAuth2 with bearer token

When establishing a connection using OAuth2, you will need your access token — you can generate it using the /auth/token endpoint. Here's how to add the token to the request header using cURL:

curl https://api.avonhealth.com/v1/patients \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"

Always keep your token safe and reset it if you suspect it has been compromised.
