Changes to api-lookup authentication

Tags Lookup API

What is changing

api-lookup.dartmouth.edu will begin requiring JWT authentication.  This API previously required no authentication of any kind.

No "scopes" will be required, only a valid JWT.

When

Tuesday, August 12th at 8AM.

 

Who is affected

api-lookup.dartmouth.edu may support user facing applications such as MyAccount and DartGo, or may be used by scripts run by an individual.

Software developers and IT staff may need to make changes to their applications and tools.

 

Where to get more information

Information about creating an API Key, using that key to retrieve a temporary JWT, and using the JWT for authentication to an API endpoint can be found at developer.dartmouth.edu.
