If you are a developer who wants to use Swan APIs

The Swan APIs can be used to programmatically retrieve and analyze data.

These APIs provide access to a variety of different resources including the following:

• Authorization
• Miners
• Tasks

How to get access to the Swan APIs

Step one: Signup a swan account

You can create an account on Filswan site to get the API key support.

Step two: Save your API keys and tokens and keep them secure

Under "My Profile"->"Developer Settings", you can generate a set of API Keys and Access Tokens which can be used to make requests on behalf of your personal Swan account. Since these API keys and Access Tokens do not expire unless regenerated, we suggest creating environment variables or using a secure password manager.

Step three: Set up your access

You can get your jwt Bearer Token via the following API.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.filswan.com/user/api_keys/jwt' \
--data-raw '{
    "access_token": "my-access-token",
    "apikey": "my-apikey"
}'

Once you get the token, you can use it to access Swan APIs via postman or other API tools.
