This document provides public documentation of the Crumbs API.

API Base URL

The API is accessible via:

https://crumbs.newverve.scot/api/1/<resource>

API Tokens

To generate a new API token, go to the API Tokens section in Crumbs (in Jira, select Apps > Crumbs > API Tokens):

These tokens will allow users to authenticate against the Crumbs API.

From this screen users will be able to:

Create new tokens with a label.
View the newly created token (only on generation for security reasons).
1. Please take note of the token when creating it and keep it safe.
View previously generated tokens by their label.
View when the token was created.
Users can delete/revoke a previously generated token.

Tokens are user specific, and each user can create and see only their API tokens.

Authentication

Use the Authorization HTTP header to submit.

Use Bearer <token>, and add the token generated in API Tokens screen.

For example with cURL:

curl --request GET 'https://crumbs.newverve.scot/api/1/customer/1' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1c831a91-3559-475e-b4d4-39efd65b9d94'

Authorization

All API resources are authorised against Jira users who have generated any Crumbs tokens, following general Crumbs permissions:

Crumbs Administrator
Crumbs Manager
Crumbs User

Please check Crumbs documentation to find out more about Crumbs permissions, and check Jira permissions (or contact your Jira administrator) to verify the Crumbs permissions of your user.

Please check the resources section in this document to find specific permissions needed for each resource.
