Taiga how-tos

API base URL for Taiga instance (like https://api.taiga.io/api/v1).

Authenticate your user

• Set the request type to POST.

• Use this URL: <API-base-URL>/auth. Replace <API-base-URL> with your Taiga instance's API URL.

• Next, set your headers. Under the headers tab, enter:

  • Key is Content-Type

  • Value is application/json

• Now switch to the body tab and choose the raw option. Add your credentials in form of JSON:

  ^{{ "type": "normal", "username": "<Your-Username>", "password": "<Your-Password>" }}

• Click send to make the request. The response contains your auth token which you will need in the subsequent steps, so keep this open.
