SAFE Launcher exposes REST APIs for applications to exchange data with the SAFE Network. The Launcher provides two access types for accessing data from the network.
Access Types
Unauthorised Access
Unencrypted public data can be accessed without any authorisation. Websites and blogs which are made available for public viewing can be accessed. Unauthorised access is permitted only on very few GET requests.
Authorised Access
Applications have to authorise with the Launcher to get Authorised Access. Launcher will grant an authorisation token once the user authorises the application. Applications will use the obtained authorisation token to invoke the REST API calls. These tokens are session based and thus will be valid only while the launcher is running.
