Accessing Representational State Transfer (REST) Services V1 and V2

The following types of authentications are supported for REST APIs (V1 and V2):

Depending on the authentication, a token is generated using an end-point URL.

This section describes how to obtain a token to authenticate yourself for using REST services.

For basic authentication, see Setting Up Integration Users with Basic Authentication.

For OAuth authentication, see Setting Up Integration Users with OAuth Authentication.

Note: If the endpoint URL has a project number that contains special characters such as / \ : * ? " < > or |, you must change those special characters to URL escape characters. For example, A project number with a special number sign (hash) such as 2020#7 must be changed to 2020%7. You can use a browser to access the list of URL escape characters.
