Bearer authorization type string enforced for API authentication

When you authenticate your API client to use Toast APIs, you provide a bearer-type authentication token in the Authorization header field of your request. The string Bearer is a required part of the header field format Authorization: Bearer [token].

Toast APIs will enforce the required bearer token Authorization field format, including the string Bearer, on 2024-08-26. If your integration does not already include the string Bearer in the Authorization header field for all Toast API requests, you must implement authentication in a way that includes that string before 2024-08-26.
