Getting Your Authentication Token

In the REST API, VMware vRealize Automation Cloud requires an HTTP authentication token in the request header. Getting your authentication token is a prerequisite for any use case.

The access token is the token you use to authenticate all API calls. To acquire an access token, you first generate an API token using your user account in the VMware vRealize Automation Cloud console, then you generate an access token using the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) API.
