Getting an Access Token

You need an access token in order to use this API.

For example:

Authorization: Bearer alEw85xBVY83owVraNwNxzsfmpXu

The token is valid for 59 minutes and 59 seconds. It can be used for multiple requests.

You must know:

• The bearer tokens can only be used for a specific country. For example: If you generate a token for a UK mobile number, you cannot use it to query a German mobile number.
• For more information on using Authorization Basic, see RFC 6749.
• If the request is valid, the API returns an access_token, along with expiry and scope information.
• This access token can then be used in one or more requests for as long as the token remains valid.
• If the request is not valid, the APIs returns an error message.
