Generate Credential
FortiCASB REST API resources are free of use for development purpose. To use these API resources, an OAuth 2.0 bearer token is required in the Authorization header. One method to get OAuth 2.0 bearer token is to call Get Credentials Token. Before calling Get Credentials Token API, follow the steps below to generate a credential.
- Log into FortiCASB with your account.
- Go to Business Unit Setting in the top left hand corner.
- Click on API Setting tab.
- Enter a name in Credentials Name field, and click Generate.
- Copy down the credential to be used to call the API later.
The generated credential can be used repeatedly as long as it is not revoked on FortiCASB.
