Authentication - ABBYY Documentation

Requests to the Reporting service data access REST API require Bearer authentication. Authenticate every request.

Only a user with the Administrator or Monitoring Operator role for a specific tenant can access that tenant’s reporting data through the REST API.

Get the Bearer token

Request the token from the ABBYY FlexiCapture application server, using either a Windows account or an ABBYY FlexiCapture account. For a FlexiCapture account, add /FCAuth to the application server URL.

Authenticate with a Windows account

The following PowerShell sample authenticates for the default tenant with a Windows account, and then retrieves the list of available archives.

# Use a Windows account against the URL of the local application server
$URI = "https://localhost/Flexicapture12/Server/API/wsdl"
# Create a proxy web service that will authenticate with default credentials
$proxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $URI -UseDefaultCredential
# Use the FlexiCapture API to get the token for Reporting data access
$ticket = $proxy.GetCurrentUserAuthTicket()
# Create a request with a Bearer authentication header containing the token,
# and send it to the Reporting data access service.
# This example gets the list of available archives.
$headers = @{ Authorization = "Bearer " + $ticket}
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:8002/api/DataFile/GetFileList" -Headers $headers
