Open auth.js and add your custom username and password to appAuth object.
Before you can connect to the Crisp API, you need to generate an API token. An API token authenticates the user on Crisp systems, and is linked to a Crisp account. To access your Crisp website, this Crisp account must be an operator member of your website.
As a Crisp account can hold a maximum of 20 tokens at the same time, and knowing those tokens are also being generated by Crisp apps to login to your account (eg. Crisp iOS app, Crisp Web app), we advise you create a Crisp operator account dedicated to pure-API & bot usage. This way you ensure your API token is never expired due to token limit overflow (for instance, you may create a Crisp account on crisp-api@yourdomain.com).
To obtain a Crisp API token, open a terminal (on macOS, open the "Terminal" application). Then, enter the command:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"email":"YOUR_ACCOUNT_EMAIL","password":"YOUR_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD"}' https://api.crisp.chat/v1/user/session/login
Replace:
- YOUR_ACCOUNT_EMAIL: Crisp account email
- YOUR_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD: Crisp account password
Then, press the Enter key, and wait for a response to your command. A successful login response will contain a JSON payload, with an identifier and key value, which you should copy and provide to your library calls. This identifier + key pair is your authentication token; you should only keep a single one for all your uses of Crisp APIs via a library we provide.
