Client credentials

There are several ways how you can authenticate to the Monerium API. In the following example, you will be using a Sandbox version of the system with client credentials which you can use to test and understand how this fits into your platform.

When you sign up to create an application, you will receive a client_id and a client_secret. If you don't have one already, you can follow along by using the sample credentials in the code sandbox at the bottom.

Getting an access token

API documentation:
POST /auth/token

Request:

curl 'https://api.monerium.dev/auth/token' \
-d client_id=1234567890abcdef \
-d client_secret=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef \
-d grant_type=client_credentials

Response:

{
  access_token: “YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN”,
  expires_in: 3600,
  refresh_token: "wB9ehsvvRGKWL7onRAhv1g",
  token_type: "Bearer"
}

Getting client context

API documentation:
GET /auth/context

A client can have permission to access multiple profiles by creating applications.

Request:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'
    'https://api.monerium.dev/auth/context'

Response:

{
  userId: "d92e9039-0773-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
  email: "[email protected]",
  name: "[email protected]",
  roles: [],
  auth: {
      method: "password",
      subject: "[email protected]",
      verified: true
  },
  defaultProfile: "d88499e4-0773-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
  profiles: [
      // client applications default user:
      {
        id: "d88499e4-0773-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
        kind: "personal",
        name: "[email protected]",
        perms: [
            "read",
            "write"
        ]
      }
      // other users that have granted this application access to their data.
  ]
}

Getting profile detail

API documentation:
GET /profiles/{profileId}

Request:

 curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'
    'https://api.monerium.dev/profiles/2b3933cf-d7f7-11eb-843f-bad551e4b9a5'

Response:

When connecting a wallet, a profile will obtain accounts for each of the following currencies: EUR, GBP, USD, and ISK for each supported network.

Note that this profile already has an IBAN attached to his Polygon account. 

{
  id: "d88499e4-0773-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
  name: "[email protected]",
  kyc: {
      state: "absent",
      outcome: "unknown"
  },
  accounts: [
      {
        id: "6da0137e-07a7-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
        address: "0xfd47C71B650d3445B657a3a864762b1F907f2041",
        currency: "eur",
        chain: "ethereum",
      },
      // GBP, USD & ISK accounts for Ethereum
      {
        id: "6db0afb6-07a7-11ed-8b1f-4a76448b7b21",
        address: "0xfd47C71B650d3445B657a3a864762b1F907f2041",
        currency: "eur",
        chain: "polygon",
        iban: "FI54 9532 0029 2243 50",
        standard: "iban"
      },
      // GBP, USD & ISK accounts for Polygon
  ]
}
