Environments

Axle provides sandbox environments for testing and development purposes. The API docs are interactive; once you’re authenticated, you will be able to make calls to api-sandbox.axle.energy via these docs. Please get in touch to setup a new sandbox account. When you’re ready to roll with a production environment, please get in touch with the team.

Use your credentials to obtain a token

We use token-based authentication, whereby you exchange your API credentials for a token which gives time bound access to specific resources. To get a token for your session, see the Authentication page, using the username and password provided when you created your new sandbox. This token must be included in subsequent requests as a bearer token: 
'Authorization': 'Bearer <team_token>'
This token expires after 1 hour. You’ll need to refresh it after that.
