API Authentication and Endpoints

Authentication

The Fuel Cycle API utilizes a basic system of authentication to ensure the security of data common with REST APIs.

Authentication relies on two credentials:

1. API Key
2. API Token

These two credentials are provisioned by Fuel Cycle. The API key and token are unique per each partner, client, and Fuel Cycle community. Therefore, a new API key and token will be provided to you by Fuel Cycle for every client instance.

Keep these credentials private. You should never share these credentials with anyone.

Each client community receives a unique token. Clients may have multiple Fuel Cycle communities. If a client enables your integration on all of their communities there will be a unique API token for each community/integration enabled.

To reset or reissue tokens please contact Fuel Cycle.

API Endpoints

Fuel Cycle provides both a stage and production API environment to partners.

All initial development and testing should occur in the Fuel Cycle stage environment. The test API key and token will be provisioned for the stage environment only. Once your integration is finished and reviewed by Fuel Cycle, the URL can be switched to production (see Launch Your Integration for details).
