BigID API/Token Authentication
From BigID Developer Portal
In this tutorial we're going to authenticate with BigID using a user token to retrieve a list of data sources.
First we'll need to create a user token for us to use through the BigID UI.
If you don't have access to a BigID environment to get a token, you can get one from the sandbox by running the automation after the steps.
To do this we need to navigate to the Access Management screen under Administration -> Access Management. On the Access Management screen, select the user you want to create a token for from the System Users List. Then press the Generate button to start the token creation process.
Tokens can only be valid for up to 999 days. Since we're just using this token for testing, let's set it to 30 days and then click Generate like in the screenshot below.
