​
Authentication

The Ibantrack API uses the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow where you exchange your client_id and client_secret for a temporary access_token.

​
Security Best Practices

Keep your credentials secret. Your Client ID and Client Secret have the power to perform financial verifications and incur costs. Never share them in client-side code, public repositories, or mobile applications.

​
Request Details

This specific endpoint requires the request body to be formatted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

​
Required Parameters

ParameterValueDescription
grant_typeclient_credentialsMust be exactly this value.
client_idYOUR_CLIENT_IDProvided in your Ibantrack Dashboard.
client_secretYOUR_CLIENT_SECRETProvided in your Ibantrack Dashboard.

​
Token Lifecycle

  • Expiration: Tokens are valid for 3600 seconds (1 hour).
  • Caching: We strongly recommend caching the token and reusing it until it expires. Requesting a new token for every single verification will trigger rate limits on the authentication server.

​
Using the token

Once you have received the access_token, you must include it in the header of all subsequent API calls: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
