Changes to our REST API (Cloud)

As of September 23, 2019, we are going to make changes to our REST API. These changes will be implemented to improve the security standard of the REST API communication when retrieving an authorization token from Tempo. This change only affects how to create and renew a machine-to-machine authorization token from the API “https://api.tempo.io/oauth/token/”.

In our current version, Tempo allows the parameters to be passed as query parameters in the URL As this is a violation of best practices we will from September 23, 2019, and onwards only accept the parameters to by passed in the x-www-form-urlencoded body of the HTTP request sent to Tempo. 

Steps to perform:

You can retrieve the oauth token API by performing:

curl -X POST 'https://api.tempo.io/oauth/token/?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id={your_client_id}&client_secret={your_client_secret}&redirect_uri= {your_redirect_url}&code={your_code} ' 

Replace with the following:

curl -X POST 

  https://api.tempo.io/oauth/token/ 

  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 

  -H 'Host: api.tempo.io' 

  -d 'grant_type=authorization_code&client_id={your_client_id}&client_secret= {your_client_secret}&redirect_uri={your_redirect_url}&code={your_code}'

Our API documentation has already been updated accordingly.
