HTTP Bearer Auth Credentials

HTTP Bearer Auth credentials allow your SubverseAI agents to authenticate with web services using Bearer tokens for secure API access.

​
Overview

HTTP Bearer Auth provides access to:
  • Modern REST APIs using Bearer tokens
  • OAuth2 token authentication
  • JWT token authentication
  • API key authentication
  • Secure web service integration

​
Steps to Create HTTP Bearer Auth Credentials

​
1. Identify Bearer Auth Requirements

Check your API documentation to confirm it uses Bearer token authentication:
  • Look for “Bearer Token” or “Authorization: Bearer”
  • Check for token-based authentication
  • Verify the token format and source

​
2. Get Bearer Token

From your service provider, collect the bearer token:
  • OAuth2 Access Token: From OAuth2 flow
  • JWT Token: From authentication endpoint
  • API Key: Formatted as Bearer token
  • Custom Token: Provider-specific token

​
3. Add to SubverseAI

  1. Go to Credentials in your SubverseAI dashboard
  2. Click Create New Credential
  3. Select HTTP Bearer Auth from the credential types
  4. Enter a name for your credential
  5. Fill in the required fields:
    • Bearer Token: Your bearer token
    • Header Name: Header name (default: “Authorization”)
    • Token Prefix: Token prefix (default: “Bearer”)
  6. Click Test Connection to verify the credentials work
  7. Click Save Credential

​
Required Fields

  • Name: A descriptive name for your credential
  • Bearer Token: Your bearer token
  • Header Name: Header name (default: “Authorization”)
  • Token Prefix: Token prefix (default: “Bearer”)

​
Usage Tips

  • Use HTTPS endpoints to protect tokens in transit
  • Monitor token expiration and refresh as needed
  • Store tokens securely and rotate regularly
  • Use environment-specific tokens for different stages

​
Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized: Verify bearer token is valid and not expired Invalid Token Format: Check token format and encoding Missing Header: Ensure header name and prefix are correct Token Expired: Refresh or obtain a new token from the provider

​
Next Steps

After creating your HTTP Bearer Auth credentials:
  • Set up token-based API integrations
  • Configure automatic token refresh workflows
  • Build secure web service connections
  • Monitor token usage and expiration
  • Implement token validation and renewal
