Authentication ​


Most API requests require OAuth 2.0 authentication with a valid access token. For automated scripts or server-side routines, the API supports the Resource Owner Password Credentials flow. This allows you to exchange your username and password directly for an access token.

The client ID is named python for backward compatibility, but it can be used by scripts or applications written in any language (e.g., Bash, Node.js, etc.).

Obtain Access Token ​

To get an access token, send a POST request to the following endpoint:

POST https://gateway.wadmp3.com/public/auth/connect/token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

With the following form parameters:

  • grant_type=password
  • username=<your_username>
  • password=<your_password>
  • client_id=python

Example Request ​

bash
curl -X POST https://gateway.wadmp3.com/public/auth/connect/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=password&username=<your_username>&password=<your_password>&client_id=python"

Example Response ​

json
{
  "access_token": "<your_access_token>",
  "expires_in": 7200,
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Save the access_token — you'll need it for subsequent API requests. The token expires after 7200 seconds (2 hours). Request a new one when it expires.

Passing Access Token in API Requests ​

To authorize your API requests, include the access token in the Authorization header:

bash
Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>

Example ​

bash
curl -X GET https://gateway.wadmp3.com/api/applications \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>"
