Authenticate v7

Important note about API versions
If you are using Dovico Timesheet version 13 or below, you should use API version 5. If using version 14, use API version 7.

Versions 1 through 7
The API calls listed below enable a Dovico trusted app to authenticate a user's credentials (Company Name, User ID, and Password) rather than requiring the user input their Data Access Token for Apps directly.

Authenticate

POST Authenticate/

Returns the user's Data Access Token for Apps which can then be used for future API calls.

Security Check: The Company Name, Username, and Password must be valid and employee access to the API must be enabled ('Allow Employees to use 3rd Party Apps' in the Database Options view of Dovico Timesheet)
