The authentication token is an alphanumeric code, unique to your Shiprocket account, can be used from any system to validate your API calls to access Shiprocket's resources. Shiprocket API uses JWT tokens for validation. Use this API to validate your API user and obtain the authentication token. Copy this token and use it further to validate your API calls. The validity of this token is 10 days . Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your secret token in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth. Steps To Use Token: Copy the token received in response. Include 'Authorization: Bearer [yourtokenvalue]' in the appropriate field of your code. That's all! In case of any error, try checking your parameters.
