Get started with the Mera Work API
Generate your API credentials and an access token in the dashboard, then use the token to call the API.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- A Mera Work account with administrative access
- Access to your organisation's settings
Credentials
Open the API settings
- Log in to your Mera Work dashboard
- Go to Configuration, then API Credentials
- Your existing API credentials appear here if they have already been generated
Credentials
Generate your API credentials
If you have not generated API credentials yet, select Generate API Credentials. The system creates a Client ID and a Secret Key.
- Each organisation can have only one set of API credentials
- The generated credentials do not expire
- Store them securely, because they are used to generate access tokens
Access token
Generate an access token
With your Client ID and Secret Key in place, you can generate an access token directly in the dashboard. On the Client Credential screen, select Generate Token, copy the access token that appears, and store it securely for your integrations.
Send the token in the Authorization header on all API calls.
- Tokens expire after {api_token_minutes} minutes
- Generate a new token in the dashboard when you need one
- Never share your access tokens publicly
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKENManage
View and manage your credentials
- View your Client ID at any time
- View and copy your generated access tokens
- Generate new access tokens as you need them
First call
Make your first call
Add the access token to the Authorization header and call an endpoint from the API reference. Generate a new token in the dashboard before the current one expires.
