Phrase TMS API

API Authentication (TMS)

Content is machine translated from English by Phrase Language AI.

Most API calls require an authenticated user. The APIs do not use any special user profiles. Each API can be called on behalf of any existing user using their username and password.

Token

Before calling any API that requires an authenticated user, call the auth/login API to obtain an authentication token. The token is valid for 24 hours and can be used for all subsequent calls. Do not create a new token for every call.

In subsequent API calls, the obtained token is used in the Authorization header. The header value field is introduced with ApiToken followed by a space and the token itself.

Example:

ApiToken OKTiI2V7QqRDu0HADR2Fk2b9hCteI1pT06bOSk5OD8HSc3oCOHMzIgVtOtLV65hi

OAuth 2.0

Use OAuth 2.0 in applications instead of sending tokens with each call.

To establish the OAuth 2.0 connection, follow these steps:

  1. From the Settings Setup_gear.png page, scroll down to the Integrations section and click on Registered OAuth Apps.

    The Registered OAuth Apps page opens.

  2. Click New.

    The Create OAuth App page opens.

  3. Provide a Name, Redirect URI (Callback) and an optional Description.

  4. Click Save.

    The Registered OAuth Apps page opens with the new connection in the list and an associated Client ID.

    The ID is used in the application that connects to Phrase to establish the connection. It is stored in the database and is used to pair requests with the proper requester.

  5. Use these URLs with the generated Client ID for authorization:

    • Auth URL

      https://cloud.memsource.com/web/oauth/authorize

    • Token URL

      https://cloud.memsource.com/web/oauth/token

    If your profile is located in the US DataCenter, add us before cloud.memsource.com, for example https://us.cloud.memsource.com/web/oauth/authorize

  6. When authorizing, use the Administrator profile to log in and click Allow.

    The application is now linked and the authentication API call will not be required.
