Glue API: Authenticate as a customer

Last updated:
Edit on GitHub

This endpoint allows authenticating as a customer. As an authenticated customer, you can send requests to protected resources.

This endpoint does not comply with OAuth 2.0. If your project requires such compliance, use the /token endpoint. For details about the /token endpoint, see Managing customer authentication tokens via OAuth 2.0.

Installation

For details on the modules that provide the API functionality and how to install them, see Glue API: Customer Access Feature Integration.

Authenticate as a customer

To authenticate as a customer, send the request:

POST /access-tokens

Request

Request sample: authenticate as a customer

POST https://mysprykershop.com/access-tokens

{
  "data": {
    "type": "access-tokens",
    "attributes": {
      "username": "sonia@spryker.com",
      "password": "change123"
    }
  }
}
ATTRIBUTE TYPE REQUIRED DESCRIPTION
username string ✓ Customer’s username. You define it when creating a customer.
password password ✓ Customer’s password. You define it when creating a customer.
Username

If you are authenticating as a newly created customer, make sure to verify your email address first. If an email address was not confirmed, the endpoint returns the 403 “Failed to authenticate user” error.

Note that depending on the Login feature configuration for your project, too many unsuccessful login attempts may result in the 429 error, and the user will be locked out for some time. For details, see Customer Login feature overview.
