API Authentication

To interact with the OpenCodeHub API programmatically, you need an API Token.

Obtaining a Token

Currently, you can obtain a token by logging in via the CLI or inspecting your session. (Future updates will allow generating persistent Personal Access Tokens (PATs) from the UI settings).

Via CLI

och auth login
cat ~/.ochrc

The token field in your ~/.ochrc file is a valid Bearer token.

Using the Token

Pass the token in the HTTP Authorization header.

GET /api/users/me HTTP/1.1
Host: git.example.com
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUz...

Session Cookies

If you are developing a browser-based integration (like a plugin), you can also rely on the standard och_session cookie if the user is logged in to the browser.
