4. Update the Password

Provide the trader's new password

Introduction

This PUT endpoint is the final step of the password reset process.

There are three required parameters that must be provided in the request:

1. Et-App-Key (header). This is the unique key of your app that identifies your app when communicating with our service. Contact your administrator to get this key.

2. API version (path). Unless necessary, leave it at "1.0".

3. resource (body). This is a JSON file that contains the the token from the previous step as well as the new password.

Request Body

Parameter	Description
Token	This is the token returned in the previous endpoint.
Password	This is the new password of the trader.
PasswordConfirmation	This is the new password of the trader (must be identical to Password).

{
  "Token": "someToken-bd26-825db0",
  "Password": "pkof394f34kf934f03u4fj0",
  "PasswordConfirmation": "pkof394f34kf934f03u4fj0"
}

Here's the final template for this API request:

PUT apiURL/v1.0/users/passwords/reset/

Response

In response to this API request, you will receive a JSON file either confirming successful token generation or enumerating errors that occurred in the process.

{
  "Errors": [],
  "IsSucceed": true
}

At this point the password has been successfully reset, and the trader may proceed to log into Autoshares Trade using the new password.

Common Mistakes

Here are some of the common mistakes that developers make when attempting to reset a trader's password.

Failing to Specify the Et-App-Key Parameter

If you specify the wrong Et-App-Key parameter or fail to include it in the header altogether, you'll get the following error:

{
    "error": "Application key is not defined or does not exist"
}
