Hi @KG_10929768 ,

 

You can use with Application Key in API header for the authentication.

    Ok. But we have Login screen in android app and we want Thingworx user should login from android app. i.e we need basic authentication through API.

    Is this possible with API.

    1)What about all user -means every user has separate Key?

    2)What about API key expiry- means we need to manually adjust date? 

    2)we dose not want to send login credential in header.

    You can configure ThingWorx to delegate authentication to an external Identity Provider via OAuth -- this way your users will be able to authenticate with whatever credentials they have, and you'll be able to use one of the many OAuth authentication libraries in your Android app.

     

    Configuring OAuth is described in ThingWorx Help.

      Thanks for the replay ....

        we have to use session login and fetch the data from ThingWorx server.

      Is their any other way?

      Also please provide link for Configuring OAuth details.

      Here's the configuration guide for configuring OAuth with PingFederate. I would expect the steps to be similar if you use another IdP like Keycloak or Auth0.
