Connecting to Fleet API

As mentioned in intro

The process of authentication is similar for both Realtime and Batch API.

Authentication

We use a token based auth system. In order to generate a token

Steps:
1: Contact Fleet API team at may mobility for provisioning an account
2: Options to generate a token:

Follow AWS documentation for generating a token using client credentials here
Use postman to generate the token
Use the code sample(JS/TS) below to generate a token in your program

//  AWS COGNITO constants
export const COGNITO = {
  base64Token : 'provided-by-fleet-api-team',
  bodyParams : {
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
    
    'client_id': 'provided-by-fleet-api-team',
    'client_secret': 'provided-by-fleet-api-team',
    'scope': 'provided-by-fleet-api-team'
  },
  url: 'provided-by-fleet-api-team'
}  

function getToken(){
    fetch(COGNITO.url,
    { 
      method: 'POST',
      mode: 'cors',
      headers : {
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin':'*',
        'Authorization': `Basic ${COGNITO.base64Token}`,
        'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
      },
      body : new URLSearchParams(COGNITO.bodyParams)
    }
    )
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => { 
      console.log(data.access_token)
    });
  }

3: Pass the token while connecting to the APIs

Realtime API
Pass it as a parameter in the url

domain?token=access_token_here&...

Batch (Rest Endpoints) API
Pass it as a Bearer token in the Authorization Header

'Authorization': `Bearer access_token_here`

*Note: All connections are encrypted.
