Authentication

There are two ways to access the Copper Developer API: API keys and OAuth2.0. API Keys are suitable for individual users, while OAuth2.0 is the preferred approach for partner integrations.

API Keys

The Dev API uses token based authentication. You have to include the token in the header of every request, along with the email address of the user who generated the token. Users can hold multiple valid tokens at the same time. Admins can see all user generated tokens and generate new ones.

To generate an API token, in the Copper web app go to System settings > API Keys and click the 'GENERATE API KEY' button. Copper allows you to label each key for its unique purpose. You'll need to generate an API key to make an API Request.
