Visitor Management has the ability to integrate with 3rd party applications using our API. For documentation, click HERE.

A user can log into https://us.tractionguest.com/dev_portal/login using the same credentials for the web portal (https://account.tractionguest.com/#/Login).

It is preferable for the user to be on the ADMIN permission bundle as this will provide full access to the account.

Note: Log in through https://ca.tractionguest.com/dev_portal/login or https://uk.tractionguest.com/dev_portal/login if your data is held in the Canadian or European server respectively.

Once logged in, simply click on the “CREATE TOKEN” button to create your API token:

You will be prompted to specify the scopes of Visitor Management that the 3rd party app will be communicating with:

By default, “openid” and “all” will be selected under Oauth Scopes.

Scopes should always have “openid” selected and the “all” scopes will include “openid.” It is a necessary part of the OAuth spec.

Click “Save” to the above settings and a new API token will be generated:

Click “Done” once you have copied the API token.

This token will only appear once and will never be shown again.
