Authentication

• The API expects the API token to be included in all API requests as the X-Weels-Access-Token header. You can obtain your API Token by navigating to www.weels.ca/account/settings

PHP

$headers = array(
	'Content-Type: application/json',
 	'X-Weels-Access-Token: [API Token]'
);

📘

You must replace [API Token] with your personal API Token
