Welcome to Bridge Public APIs
We provide industry-leading APIs.
Digital Identification and Knowledge System for CNC Tools

Using the APIs
In order to use our APIs you need to be a registered and approved 3rd party application. The solution is for now primarily focused on companies developing systems that can be integrated with the Idem Solution.
Please contact the Idem team if you are interested in integrating with the Idem solution!
You will need a subscription key and also instructions on how to retrieve a Oath 2.0 token before the APIs can be invoked.
Authentication
APIs are protected using a Oauth 2.0 provider and the Client Credentials flow. For a primer on how Client Credentials flow work visit this page.
You will be supplied with a ClientID and a Client Secret and token provider URL. This three attributes should used to retrieve a token which should then be used to invoke the Idem APIs.
Retrieving a token - example call
curl --request POST \
--url https://{will be supplied by the Idem team}/token \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"client_id":"666tcxJrdDS7G2BhQSYfBm2n4M66CdU7","client_secret":"vKpmbpuU7mCPmRjr5y4cjPEC5DysLweF4mpCpjyNxqZWb3yG","audience":"{will be supplied by the Idem team}","grant_type":"client_credentials"}'
Please note that the client_id and client_secret attributes used in this example are only for instructional purposes and should not be used.
