Generating API tokens

  1. In order to access the endpoints of SecretVault/SecretDataAnalytics, you will require a set of Bearer tokens for authorization - one for each node in your setup.
  2. Those can be generated programmatically using the information from your Credentials and Cluster Config.
  3. Specifically you'll be able to generate them with just the following information using the code below:
    • Your private key
    • Your DID
    • The target node's DID
  4. We're encouraging generation during runtime with short TTL for these tokens, but it's up to you if you want to manually rotate them on longer intervals.
