Authentication
Authentication is required at the user and application level.
User Authentication
Valid cookies are required for all Requests to the Address Book XML/JSON API.
The API accepts requests with the
address-book-specific scopes "abr" and "abw"
obtained using BBAuth.
| Scope | Access |
|---|---|
abr
|
Read-only |
abw
|
Read-write |
For more information, see the BBAuth documentation.
Application Authentication
BBAuth described above satisfies both user authentication and application authentication requirements. See the BBAuth documentation on how to obtain the cookie and WSSID needed to access the Address Book XML/JSON API.
The following example shows how to authenticate users and the application.
