Authentication

Required Credentials

The Canal API uses a combination of an Application ID and API Access Token to authenticate requests. For all REST Admin API requests, you will need to include the following as headers in the requests:

  • x-canal-app-id: Application ID
  • x-canal-app-token: API Access Token

Obtaining App ID and API Token

Your Application ID and API Access Token are both automatically generated for you when your account is created. You can find these values in the Developer tab in Settings under “API Credentials” after you log into your account in the Canal App.
