Access the AppFollow API

1. Go to your AppFollow personal account settings and get:

api_secret — client’s secret key

2. Choose an API method and create a request (optional: add additional parameters).

Postman

To use the Postman API Client:

1. Create a Postman request without the "sign" parameter.

The api_secret parameter can be found in your account settings.

For example, for method #1. App collections list the request should look like this: https://api.appfollow.io/apps

2. Go to the "Authorization" tab and select "Basic Auth".

3. Enter the api_secret into the "Username" field (the api_secret should be copied from your AppFollow account settings).

4. Click "Send" to process the request and receive a response from the server.

5. Configure all required endpoints in the same way. The cid and api_secret parameters of the request should be exactly the same as in your account settings. Otherwise, your request will be rejected by the server.

cURL

To use the cURL request, you need to specify the api_secret and the method.

The cURL request will look like this:
curl -u RgA3TYBGkeN3xiddnRc8: 'https://api.appfollow.io/apps'

Specify the api_secret after the -u. In the example, the api_secret is RgA3TYBGkeN3xiddnRc8
The method should be without the "sign" parameter.

For example, for method #1. App collections list the request should look like this: https://api.appfollow.io/apps
