API Tokens for Agents

See below for the steps to follow when generating an API Token for a Third-Party Agent

KEY TERMS & TIPS:

What is an API Token?
This allows Third-Party Agents to see the data you give that Channel access to.
As long as the Agent is integrated with Line-Up, we can generate a Token for them.

How do agents get this Token?
When the Agent's Channel is set-up, let us know and we will send you the API Token for that Channel, which you can pass on.

What else do I need to give the agent?
The Line-Up API URL, Delivery Method ID and Payment Method ID.
See our Step-by-Step guide below for more info.

Do you have API docs for third-party agents?
Yes, via our website, on this page. 

What should the agent do if they're having issues with the API?
They should contact us directly via our Slack community channel where they can speak directly to our dev team.
