Choose an email to identify your new user and a name. For instance, “api-algoreg@my-company.com” and “api-algoreg”. And click on Submit. You can note the autogenerated password or ignore it (you will be able to generate a new one later).
In the list of users, click on the Edit icon (pencil icon).

Click on Submit.
At any time, you can reset the key or remove the programmatic user.
You can use the basic auth method to authenticate to Algoreg APIs. You will need to use the email and password of the programmatic user you created.The Basic Auth header is described as follows

For increased security, we recommend using the Oauth2 method to authenticate to Algoreg APIs. This method is more secure because you can generate a token that will be valid for a limited time.

The token is valid for 1 hour. You will need to generate a new one after this

Now you can do everything in Algoreg without ever accessing our backoffice. It can be usefull to integrate Algoreg to your workflows and existing software.Let’s jump to some of the most common APIs you will want to use with Algoreg:
