To authenticate and obtain an admin token in Magento 2, send a POST request to the endpoint:
https://your-magento-site.com/rest/V1/integration/admin/token
Request payload:
{
"username": "your_admin_username",
"password": "your_admin_password"
}
If the credentials are valid, Magento returns a token like this:
"abcd1234abcd5678abcd90efgh"
✅ Use this token in your subsequent API requests by adding it to the Authorization header as:
Authorization: Bearer your_token_here
This ensures secure access to admin-level API operations. Make sure to handle the token securely and avoid exposing sensitive credentials.
