Authentication

How external systems authenticate with Laravel Sanctum.

The external Review Manager API uses Laravel Sanctum bearer tokens.

Send the token in the Authorization header:

curl https://review-manager.test/api/projects/1 \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REVIEW_MANAGER_TOKEN"

Required Headers

HeaderValue
Acceptapplication/json
AuthorizationBearer <sanctum-token>

Authentication Failures

Requests without a valid Sanctum token return 401 Unauthorized.

The API docs do not expose a token creation endpoint. Create and rotate Sanctum tokens through the approved internal operational process for this installation.
