Getting Started

Authentication

Authentication with Parasol API is supports the following two scenarios

  1. Organization Management: Managing member, organization, and organization members
  2. User Asset Management: Managing users, collections and items

Organization Management

In order to start using the Parasol API, you need to first register the following entities

  • Member - this represents your user management with Parasol.
    • You create an member account with POST /members
  • Organization - this represents your organization account within Parasol
    • You create an organization with POST /organizations, this requires JWT token
  • Organization Membership - this defines the different roles members can have within an organization
    • You invite other members to your organization with POST /organizations/:organizationId/members, this requires JWT token

In order to get a JWT token, after creating a member, you need to login with POST /member/logins

Users Asset Management

After you've created an organization, you can register Apps and provision API keys

  • App - this is the entity that will namespace your users, items, and collections
    • You create an app with POST /apps, this requires JWT token
  • API key - this is the secret token that will be used for server to server communication between your server and Parasol APIs
    • You create an app with POST /apps/:appId/keys, this requires JWT token

Please be sure to vault the token generated from API key creation into a secure location that's only accessible within a private network by your backend services. The API key will be used to manage users, collections, and items associated with your app and organization
