InfluxDB Bucket Schemas API

  title: Complete InfluxDB Cloud Authorizations (API tokens) Authorizations (API tokens) Bucket Schemas API
  description: 'Create and manage authorizations (API tokens).


    An _authorization_ contains a list of `read` and `write`

    permissions for organization resources and provides an API token for authentication.

    An authorization belongs to an organization and only contains permissions for that organization.


    We recommend the following for managing your tokens:


    - Create a generic user to create and manage tokens for writing data.

    - Store your tokens in a secure password vault for future access.


    ### User sessions with authorizations


    Optionally, when creating an authorization, you can scope it to a specific user.

    If the user signs in with username and password, creating a _user session_,

    the session carries the permissions granted by all the user''s authorizations.

    For more information, see [how to assign a token to a specific user](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/create-token/).

    To create a user session, use the [`POST /api/v2/signin` endpoint](#operation/PostSignin).

        _Explicit_ schemas are used to enforce column names, tags, fields, and data

        types for your data.


        By default, buckets have an _implicit_ schema-type (`"schemaType": "implicit"`)

        that conforms to your data.

      description: "### Basic authentication scheme\n\nUse the HTTP Basic authentication scheme for InfluxDB `/api/v2` API operations that support it:\n\n### Syntax\n\n`Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS`\n\nTo construct the `BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS`, combine the username and\nthe password with a colon (`USERNAME:PASSWORD`), and then encode the\nresulting string in [base64](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Base64).\nMany HTTP clients encode the credentials for you before sending the\nrequest.\n\n_**Warning**: Base64-encoding can easily be reversed to obtain the original\nusername and password. It is used to keep the data intact and does not provide\nsecurity. You should always use HTTPS when authenticating or sending a request with\nsensitive information._\n\n### Examples\n\nIn the examples, replace the following:\n\n- **`EMAIL_ADDRESS`**: InfluxDB Cloud username (the email address the user signed up with)\n- **`PASSWORD`**: InfluxDB Cloud [API token](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/glossary/#token)\n- **`INFLUX_URL`**: your InfluxDB Cloud URL\n\n#### Encode credentials with cURL\n\nThe following example shows how to use cURL to send an API request that uses Basic authentication.\nWith the `--user` option, cURL encodes the credentials and passes them\nin the `Authorization: Basic` header.\n\n```sh\ncurl --get \"INFLUX_URL/api/v2/signin\"\n    --user \"EMAIL_ADDRESS\":\"PASSWORD\"\n```\n\n#### Encode credentials with Flux\n\nThe Flux [`http.basicAuth()` function](https://docs.influxdata.com/flux/v0.x/stdlib/http/basicauth/) returns a Base64-encoded\nbasic authentication header using a specified username and password combination.\n\n#### Encode credentials with JavaScript\n\nThe following example shows how to use the JavaScript `btoa()` function\nto create a Base64-encoded string:\n\n```js\nbtoa('EMAIL_ADDRESS:PASSWORD')\n```\n\nThe output is the following:\n\n```js\n'VVNFUk5BTUU6UEFTU1dPUkQ='\n```\n\nOnce you have the Base64-encoded credentials, you can pass them in the\n`Authorization` header--for example:\n\n```sh\ncurl --get \"INFLUX_URL/api/v2/signin\"\n    --header \"Authorization: Basic VVNFUk5BTUU6UEFTU1dPUkQ=\"\n```\n\nTo learn more about HTTP authentication, see\n[Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) Web Docs, HTTP authentication](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication)._\n"
