Authentication

Getting a JWT

nShift Delivery's API uses JWT (JSON Web Token) for authentication. Before calling any API endpoint, you need to use your API key for a short-lived token.

API Key

API keys are created inside nShift Delivery under Maintenance → API Keys. Each key consists of two parts:

The API key from Delivery is used to authenticate against the https://api.unifaun.com/rs-extapi/v1/sessions/jwt endpoint.

Keep your API key confidential — treat it like a password.

Request a Token

Endpoint

GET https://api.unifaun.com/rs-extapi/v1/sessions/jwt

Authentication method: HTTP Basic Auth

Authorization: Basic BASE64(<Id>:<Secret Id>)

Example request

curl -X POST https://api.unifaun.com/rs-extapi/v1/sessions/jwt \ -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n '<Id>:<Secret Id>' | base64)"

Example response

{ "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."}

Using the Token

Pass the token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header on all subsequent requests:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Token validity: 12 hours. After expiry, repeat the exchange above to get a new token.
