Obtain Customer token with Curl - Command Line tool
Curl is a command line tool and library used to write scripts and manage data transfer. It is a free and open source tool found on most operating systems.
Curl can be used to obtain the token via the Unix command line (a download is required for Windows) .
Hint
Copy the curl command below into an editor to change the values for YOUR_ID and YOUR_SECRET with those provided by StatsBomb Customer Success team.
Paste the updated command into a terminal window and press Enter.
curl --request POST \
--url https://live-api.statsbomb.com/v1/token \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"client_id":"YOUR_ID","client_secret":"YOUR_SECRET"}'
Confirming the response
A successful request should return a payload containing access_token, token_type, and expires_in values:
{
"access_token":"eyJz93a...k4laUWw",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":86400
}
The access token will last for 24 hours from the time it was generated ( 86400 is 24 hours in seconds)
Obtaining a new token again
Tokens only last for 24 hours from when they were obtained. Repeat the curl command to obtain a new token.
Use the up-arrow key ↑ in the terminal to scroll through the command history. Press Enter when the curl command is shown
