Is it correct that in order to get an authentication token to use with the REST API we need to call the admin/auth endpoint with an individual user’s username and password? I was hoping to be able to use our API Key/Secret (which I have been given) to do this rather than an actual password (which I don’t have as I’m not an administrator), but the documentation (API documentation | SimplyBook.me Online Scheduling) suggests that only a username and password will work? This would be odd in my experience of calling REST APIs, which usually allow authentication with an API key.
The JSON-RPC API seems to allow certain services to be called using a token obtained with the API Key. Is that not also true for the REST services? I’d rather use the REST API if at all possible as I’m not familiar with JSON-RPC.
