Using a token instead of a username/password

[mrd9483]

Hello, is there a way to use a tokenized login rather than a username/password?

I want to be able to do this:

-u [email protected]/token:{YOUR_API_TOKEN}

Hi Joe,

I'm not sure, my suggestion would be to look through the documentation and see if you find anything: http://www.zendesk.com/support/api

Unfortunately I am in the process of moving to Asia right now and don't have time to take a look at this.

Best of luck,
Eric

Yes, use [email protected]/token for your email address, and use your token for your password. At least, those work for me with going through the API wrapper:

ZendeskApi api = new ZendeskApi("https://yoursite.zendesk.com/api/v2", 
    "[email protected]/token", 
    "YOUR API TOKEN GOES HERE");

Good luck with the move, Eric! :-)
