2.3.0 API to login to admin

[bdamage]

Suppose I wanted to write an iPhone/Android app to do some function, like list orders etc. Is there a login API which takes the same username/password as the Magento back end admin which I can use please?

Thanks

Hi @bdamage 

Yes, In REST api you will require to pass accesstoken of admin !

you can use the same credentials of backend to get the accesstoken of  REST API.

Below i am giving the API details to get the accesstoken !

URL : http://yourdomainname.com/index.php/rest/V1/integration/admin/token/

METHOD : POST

Parameters : 

{
	"username":"your admin username",
	"password":"your admin password"
}

You can refer this link for more details - https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/rest/tutorials/orders/order-admin-token.html

For more details refer Swagger API document of Magento  - http://devdocs.magento.com/swagger/
