🔐 Authenticate with the Well API

To start using the Well API, you need to generate a Bearer token via the /auth/api_key endpoint using your client_id and client_secret — provided by the Well team.

​
Endpoint

POST https://api.wellapp.ai/auth/api_key

​
Request Body

{
  "client_id": "your-client-id",
  "client_secret": "your-client-secret"
}
  • client_id and client_secret are provided by the Well team when your account is provisioned.
  • Keep your credentials secure and never expose them in public code or frontend applications.

​
Example using cURL

curl -X POST https://api.wellapp.ai/auth/api_key \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "client_id": "your-client-id",
    "client_secret": "your-client-secret"
  }'

​
Response

A successful response will return a JSON payload containing your bearer token: 
{
  "token": "your-bearer-token",
  "expires_in": 3600
}
  • token: Use this token in the Authorization header for all subsequent API calls.
  • expires_in: Indicates how long the token is valid (in seconds).

​
Authenticated Requests

Use the bearer token like this: 
curl https://api.wellapp.ai/documents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-bearer-token"

​
🔒 Security Notes

  • Always use HTTPS when calling the API.
  • Never expose your client_secret or token in frontend code.
  • Tokens are short-lived; you can refresh them by repeating the authentication request.
