Authentication
SheetBridge supports Bearer Token authentication. When enabled, include your token in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
Creating a Token
When you create a new Bridge, SheetBridge automatically generates a Bearer Token for you. You can also create or regenerate tokens manually:
- Navigate to your Bridge's details page
- Go to the "Authentication" tab
- Click "Create Bearer Token" (or "Regenerate Token" to create a new one)
- Copy the token immediately (it's only shown once)
Important: Store your token securely. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one.
Enabling/Disabling Authentication
Authentication is enabled by default when you create a Bridge (a token is automatically generated). You can toggle it on/off from the Authentication tab. When disabled, endpoints are publicly accessible. If you disable authentication and want to re-enable it later, you must have a token created first.
Using Authentication in Requests
Include the Bearer token in the Authorization header of your HTTP requests:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
"https://your-domain.com/api/v1/bridge/{bridgeId}/{sheetId}"
