Following requirements have to be fulfilled to be able to access the GTT REST API:

• You need a valid GTT userid

Please note: The REST API itself can be accessed only with a valid Token.

With a valid GTT userid you can retrieve an API Token to access the REST API which will be valid for 14 days.

This Token must then be sent in all subsequent calls to the API, either in the http header request (the preferred way) or as URL or POST parameter.

The Header must have the following format:

Authorization : Bearer 61D1345AFF690F8F5D13DAB12F6EC9DE

If the token is sent as URL GET parameter:

.../?para1=...&token=61D1345AFF690F8F5D13DAB12F6EC9DE&paraN=...

Or as POST/Form parameter “token”.

Both methods ‘GET’ and ‘POST’ are supported to retrieve a Token. Parameters which are mandatory to retrieve a token:

userid

a valid GTT userid

password

the password for the supplied GTT userid

Example GET request:
