Is there a way to authenticate trough the api interface? #1293

Tried to figure out if there's a way to authenticate trough the REST interface but this seems not to be possible? If not the case what would be need to be done in order to do so?

What?

oemilsson commented 4 years ago

For example i would like to login not using the website form but instead trough maybe CURL, for example it could look something like the following:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --request POST \ --data '{"username":"admin","password":"password"}' \ http://localhost:3000/api/login which then returns me a token of some kind that i can use for the other api endpoints.

Went trough the swagger documentation and couldn't find such endpoint so my questions is: does such endpoint exist or you can only login as a user via web form/ldap?

You use username + api token to authenticate against the API, if you are outside a web context. https://www.kimai.org/documentation/rest-api.html
