To authorize your requests to Admin API you need to use your license key that you can find in the VXG dashboard: https://dashboard.videoexpertsgroup.com/?products=
The API Key should be injected to Authorization header of every request to Admin API like this:
Authorization: LKey %license_key% For example, if the API key is "X9tKpuXq0btatj":
Authorization: LKey X9tKpuXq0btatj Non-admin API authorization All function calls require an authorization header.
'Authorization: Acc %channel_access_token%' The %channel_access_token% can be retrieved in two ways: a. Using Admin API during creating a channel or updating of a channel access token. b. Using Cloud/Server Admin UI page.
Example of an authorization header:
'Authorization: Acc eyJhY2Nlc3MiOiAid2F0Y2giLCAidG9rZW4iOiAic2hhcmUuZXlKemFTSTZJRE14T0RoOS41YWEyMjA2N3QxMmNmZjc4MC5GVHpEeUZMYkVLQVNzM2ZJRFZaSDdFMEhhdGMiLCAiY2FtaWQiOiAxMzI0NDUsICJjbW5ncmlkIjogMTMyODUwLCAiYXBpIjogIndlYi5za3l2ci52aWRlb2V4cGVydHNncm91cC5jb20ifQ=='
