Authentication

To interact with user sessions and create your extension, you will need to make calls from your backend to the Extensions API. The API requires authentication using your developer token.

Make a request to the Extensions API​

All endpoints to the Extensions API start with /api/extensions. The list of available endpoints is available here: https://api.chaster.app/api/. To authenticate and use these endpoints, you need to generate a developer token for your account and using the same application as your extension.

  • Go to your Developer interface, and select your application
  • In the left sidebar, select “Tokens”
  • If you don’t have a token yet, generate it.

This token is a bearer token. To make a request, simply send this token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

For example, if you want to fetch a session, you would use the endpoint GET /api/extensions/sessions/:sessionId and call it like this:

curl \
  --location 'https://api.chaster.app/api/extensions/sessions/:sessionId' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Replace <token> with your developer token.

danger

Do not share your developer token with anyone. It is a secret key that allows anyone who has it to make requests to the API on your behalf.
