Getting the token

In this step, we will ensure you can successfully log in to ThingPark X Location Engine. To do so, you need:

  • A valid ThingPark account

  • A token for ThingPark X Location Engine.

  1. If you do not have a ThingPark account, create a free account on https://community.thingpark.org/. If using another platform, see ThingPark platforms URLs.

  2. The first step is to authenticate with ThingPark Location using your credentials. If you are using community platform, see here. For other platforms, see here. Once on swagger, click "Authorize".
