We use Bearer token authentication for securing access to the Belio REST API. Use your client_id and client_secret to obtain a Bearer token for authentication. Once you have your Bearer token, you can start making requests to our API endpoints.
To get the client_id and client_secret, you need to request for API access at API Access Clients

​
How to Authenticate

Authentication is simple - just include your Bearer token in the Authorization header when making API requests to our endpoints. 
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>

Advanced Security

On the API Access Clients page, you can set up additional security measures:
  • Authorization Scopes: Define specific scopes for your API keys, controlling access to different parts of the API. Available scopes include:
    • mobilize.sms.send.oneway: Send one way SMS
    • mobilize.service.list: List services
    • mobilize.bundle.list: List bundles for a given product type
  • IP Whitelisting: Restrict API access to specific IP addresses, adding an extra layer of security for your production environment. Example: 192.168.1.1, 10.0.0.5, 203.0.113.42, 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334, fd00:1234:5678::1
  • Web Origins: Define allowed web origins (domains) that can make API requests, preventing unauthorized cross-origin requests. Example: https://yourdomain.com, https://app.yourcompany.io
These security features help ensure that only trusted sources can access your API keys and make requests to the Belio REST API.
