JellyFaaS Web Tokens

Before you can call out to a function you need a WebToken, in this case (like a JWT) a JellyFaaS webtoken.

These, like JWT's have an expiry time on then, usually around 24 hours.

Getting a token via the JellyFaaS website

  1. Login to app.jellyfaas.com and navigate to your profile page.

Getting a token via the API

To generate a JFWT (JellyFaaS Web Token) you need to call out to the following auth endpoint:

https://api.jellyfaas.com/auth-service/v1/validate

This needs an header set with your Secret Key (from you profile page HERE) called x-jf-apikey set.

Request

For example (using curl):

curl --location 'https://api.jellyfaas.com/auth-service/v1/validate' --header 'x-jf-apikey: <my secret key>'

This will return the following json object :

{
    "token": "<token ommited>",
    "expiry": "2025-01-09T11:26:07Z"
}

The token is used in the next steps to call out to a function.

Copying the token into the copy buffer:

curl -sS --location '<https://api.jellyfaas.com/auth-service/v1/validate>' --header 'x-jf-apikey: <my secret key>' | jq -r '.token' |pbcopy
