To connect to the REST API you will need to know where your Fishbowl server is installed. This could be on your local network or through our hosting. The API port number is different than the client port and defaults to port 2456. This can be configured in the server settings through Fishbowl Server Administration or Options on the Fishbowl Server application.

We recommend that you configure your sever to use a secure connection. This will require installing a certificate on the Fishbowl server.

The access rights that will be used during a session will be based on the user logged in through the integration.

To create a user session, use the Login request. This will return a token that should be used on all future requests as the bearer token.
