Authentication

All calls to the Felt API require authorization using a Bearer token in the request header:

Authorization: Bearer <API Token>

These are tokens associated to your account only, and that you have to manually provide to the application you want to use.

Since these tokens grant access to your account, you must store them securely and treat them as a password to your account.

API tokens are scoped to a workspace, meaning that you can only work with resources associated to that workspace only.

You can create an API token in the Developers tab of the Workspace Settings page:

Be sure to take note of the token before closing the dialog; you won’t have a second chance to view it.

Once you have your API token, you can authenticate your requests to the Felt API by using it as a bearer token in your Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer felt_pat_07T+Jmpk...

Here's an example showing how to create a new Felt map:

# This looks like:
# FELT_API_TOKEN="felt_pat_ABCDEFUDQPAGGNBmX40YNhkCRvvLI3f8/BCwD/g8"
FELT_API_TOKEN="<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"

curl -L \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FELT_API_TOKEN" \
  'https://felt.com/api/v2/maps' \
  -d '{"title": "My newly created map"}'

import requests

# This looks like:
# api_token = "felt_pat_ABCDEFUDQPAGGNBmX40YNhkCRvvLI3f8/BCwD/g8"
api_token = "<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"

r = requests.post(
  "http://felt.com/api/v2/maps",
  json={"title": "My newly created map"},
  headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
)
assert r.ok
print(r.json())
