Generate a User Access Token

API actions (like purchasing) require a temporary User Access Token with specific permissions (scopes).

• Required info:

  • Your API Key (use your Test API Key for testing)
  • Your User ID (use your Test User ID for testing)
  • The accountId you previously saved.
  • Your desired scopes (permissions).

• Common scopes:

  • LIST_OFFERS: View available merchants and offers.
  • PURCHASE_GIFTCARD: Buy gift cards.
  • REVEAL_GIFTCARD: View purchased gift card details.
  • LIST_PURCHASES: See purchase history.
  • LIST_PAYMENT: View payment methods.
  • MANAGE_PAYMENT: Add or remove payment methods.

• Generate token using cURL (Sandbox):
  Replace placeholders <YOUR_SANDBOX_API_KEY>, <YOUR_SANDBOX_USER_ID>, and <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID> with the credentials you would like to use.

  Bash

  curl -X POST https://transactional-graph.staging.fluzapp.com/api/v1/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Basic <YOUR_SANDBOX_API_KEY>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "query": "mutation generateUserAccessToken($userId: UUID!, $accountId: UUID!, $scopes: [ScopeType!]!, $seatId: UUID) { generateUserAccessToken(userId: $userId, accountId: $accountId, scopes: $scopes, seatId: $seatId) { token scopes } }",
      "variables": {
        "userId": "<YOUR_SANDBOX_USER_ID>",
        "accountId": "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>",
        "scopes": [
          "LIST_PURCHASES", "LIST_OFFERS", "LIST_PAYMENT",
          "REVEAL_GIFTCARD", "PURCHASE_GIFTCARD", "MANAGE_PAYMENT"
        ]
      }
    }'

• Response: You'll get a token.

  JSON

  {
    "data": {
      "generateUserAccessToken": {
        "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...", // <-- This is your User Access Token
        "scopes": ["LIST_PURCHASES", ...]
      }
    }
  }

• 💾 Copy thetoken value. You'll use this in the Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN> header for authenticated requests.

• In your code:

❗️

Token Validity & Caching:

• Sandbox Tokens expire after 10 minutes.
• Production Tokens expire after 3 minutes.
• Recommendation: Cache the token in your application and refresh it only when it's expired or about to expire, rather than generating one for every single API call.
