Getting started

Create a client

Log on to https://www.barentswatch.no/minside

Select "New Client" (Ny klient) under "API access (for developers)" (API-tilgang (for utviklere)).

Create a new client, and make a note of the password (client secret) you choose.

Request a token

From my page copy your Client ID, and create a token request. The client ID will be prefixed by your email address.

Token request

curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "client_id=john.smith@example.com:tutorial&scope=api&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials" https://id.barentswatch.no/connect/token

Token response

{
    "access_token": "eyJhbGzI1NiIsIetc.eyJuYmQ2NTgzNiwiaXetc.TwRezPP4Jhble9Aetc",
    "expires_in": 3600,
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "scope": "api"
}

This access token is valid for 1 hour.

Make an API request

With the access token, you can now make requests to the API:

API request

curl -X "GET" "https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/v1/geodata/fishhealth/locality/35657/avgfemalelice/2022" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGzI1NiIsIetc.eyJuYmQ2NTgzNiwiaXetc.TwRezPP4Jhble9Aetc"
