HTTP Access Token based authentication

Access token–based authentication is the default authentication method for devices in ThingsBoard. When a device is created, ThingsBoard automatically generates a unique access token. This token can be updated later in the device details.

To authenticate a device over HTTP, the client must include the access token as part of the HTTP request URL.

For details about supported endpoints, request formats, and payloads, refer to the HTTP API documentation.
