getauthtoken

Gem Version

getauthtoken is a small command line utility to acquire an authorization token from Xaptum. It's intended to speed up the process of testing API's, since an authorization token is required as a header in every request and new tokens are generated every four hours.

Running getauthtoken from your command line after installation (see below) will always give the current token.

Installation

First, install the gem from Ruby Gems.

$ gem install getauthtoken

Alternatively, if you've already installed getauthtoken, update the gem to the latest version.

$ gem update getauthtoken

Note that for the above commands you may need to use sudo gem.

Second, we'll need to create a JSON file .xaptum_config.json that stores your Xaptum configurations. getauthtoken will always use the configurations in this file to acquire your auth token.

In your $HOME directory, create the file .xaptum_config.json with the following structure:

{
  "username": "<YOUR_USERNAME>",
  "host": "<YOUR_HOST>"
}

<YOUR_HOST> should normally be https://xaptum.io or https://dev.xaptum.io.

Usage

Simply run getauthtoken from the command line. You will then be prompted for your Xaptum account password. If the password is correct, your token should appear and get copied to your clipboard.

$ getauthtoken
Authenticating with Xaptum...
Enter Password

Your token is <TOKEN>. It has been copied to the clipboard.
