Authentication

API

Any API calls that involve writing to the database (creating/editing/applying changesets or running the "feed eater" data ingestion pipeline) require authentication. API keys are specified in config/application.yml. The key can be any alphanumeric string. For example:

# config/application.yml
TRANSITLAND_DATASTORE_AUTH_TOKEN: 1a4494f1fc463ab8e32d6b

Or, specify as an environment variable. For example, TRANSITLAND_DATASTORE_AUTH_TOKEN: 1a4494f1fc463ab8e32d6b bundle exec rails server

To authenticate, include the following in your POST or PUT request:

header name header value
Authorization Token token=fde67e1437ebf73e1f3eW
