# Webhook requires authentication

 * The API I want to target requires authentication. In practice it means that there
   are always two webhook calls. The first call sends through authentication and
   receives a token. The second call uses the token and does the GET/POST/PUT.
 * How do I handle that?

 * Hey [@budasy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/budasy/) – thank you very much
   for your message, as well as for your interest in our plugin.
    This sounds like
   you require some “oAuth” authentication. At the current point, our plugin only
   supports Digest, API, Bearer Tokens and Basic Auth, but we are working on supporting
   also oAuth. I will talk back with my team and make sure we prioritize this feature
   for our future releases. In case you have any additional questions in the meantime,
   feel free to ask at any time. 🙂

 * I want to communicate with Claris FileMaker Data API. Initially I have to connect
   to an endpoint with Basic Auth. Doing that will return a token. All subsequent
   interactions will use the bearer token.
 * Here’s a link to the API documentation [The FileMaker Data API connect/disconnect info](https://help.claris.com/en/data-api-guide/#connect-database:~:text=Connect%20to%20or%20disconnect%20from%20a%20database)

 * Hi there,
 * in that combination, we currently do not have a predefined possibility to make
   the double-authentication.
    What you can try: If you know the validity of the
   token that is generated, I suggest manually creating the token with a basic auth
   request using Postman or something similar. Once that’s done, you can create 
   a new authentication template and include the bearer token there.
 * That means that you need to renew the bearer token manually in case it gets invalid.
   
   I hope this helps so far. If you have further questions, please let me know.
