How to activate a Bearer Token for access to APIs

What is an API?

An application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutines, functions and procedures (or methods in object-oriented programming) that provides certain libraries and functions for use by other software as an abstraction layer.

How does our domain API work?

The domain API allows domain management in a simple way using standard HTTP requests.

The RESTful API with Bearer Token identification, whose functions are simple, powerful and intuitive, allow you to obtain information or execute actions.
