Creating a new API client
In your wallabag account, you can create a new API client by visiting: https://app.wallabag.it/developer/client/create.
Provide the redirect URL of your application and create your client. If your application is a desktop one, use any URL that suits your needs.
You get information like this:
Client ID:
1_3o53gl30vhgk0c8ks4cocww08o84448osgo40wgw4gwkoo8skc
Client secret:
636ocbqo978ckw0gsw4gcwwocg8044sco0w8w84cws48ggogs4
Obtaining a access token
For each API call, you’ll need an access token. Create one using the following
command, replacing client_id
, client_secret
, username
, and password
with your actual values:
http POST http://localhost:8000/oauth/v2/token \
grant_type=password \
client_id=1_3o53gl30vhgk0c8ks4cocww08o84448osgo40wgw4gwkoo8skc \
client_secret=636ocbqo978ckw0gsw4gcwwocg8044sco0w8w84cws48ggogs4 \
username=wallabag \
password=wallabag
The response will look like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-store, private
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json

"access_token": "ZGJmNTA2MDdmYTdmNWFiZjcxOWY3MWYyYzkyZDdlNWIzOTU4NWY3NTU1MDFjOTdhMTk2MGI3YjY1ZmI2NzM5MA",
"expires_in": 3600,
"refresh_token": "OTNlZGE5OTJjNWQwYzc2NDI5ZGE5MDg3ZTNjNmNkYTY0ZWZhZDVhNDBkZTc1ZTNiMmQ0MjQ0OThlNTFjNTQyMQ",
"scope": null,
"token_type": "bearer"
}
We will use the access_token
value in our subsequent API calls.
