🚀 Usage in API Calls

Include the generated access_token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of all subsequent API requests.

cURL

curl --location 'https://intelsend.com/api/v1/your-endpoint' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer abc.....123' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

Node.js (Axios)

axios.get('https://intelsend.com/api/v1/your-endpoint', {
headers: {
  "Authorization": "Bearer abc.....123",
  "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
})
.then(res => console.log(res.data))
.catch(err => console.error(err));

📝 Notes

Best Practices

• Keep your client-id and client-secret secure.
• Always use the access_token within its validity period (valid_till).
• If the token expires, call the same API to generate a new one.
