This example uses the awesome Axios request library. To install, run npm install axios.
const axios = require("axios");
​
const developerkey = process.env.REMOTEIT_DEVELOPER_KEY;
const username = process.env.REMOTEIT_USERNAME;
const password = process.env.REMOTEIT_PASSWORD;
​
axios
  .post(
    "https://api.remot3.it/apv/v27/user/login",
    { username, password },
    { headers: { developerkey } }
  )
  .then(response => {
    console.log("Status Code:", response.status);
    console.log("Body:", response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
  });
Save this to a file (say remoteit-login.js), then run the following:
export REMOTEIT_DEVELOPER_KEY="...your developer key..."
export REMOTEIT_USERNAME="...your remote.it username..."
export REMOTEIT_PASSWORD="...your remote.it password..."
​
node remoteit-login.js
Note: Make sure to put your developer key, remote.it username and password above.
import requests
import json
import os
​
headers = {
    "developerkey": os.environ["REMOTEIT_DEVELOPER_KEY"]
}
body = {
    "password": os.environ["REMOTEIT_PASSWORD"],
    "username": os.environ["REMOTEIT_USERNAME"]
}
​
url = "https://api.remot3.it/apv/v27/user/login"
​
response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(body), headers=headers)
response_body = response.json()
​
print("Status Code: %s" % response.status_code)
print("Raw Response: %s" % response.raw)
print("Body: %s" % response_body)
Save this to a file (say remoteit-login.py), then run the following:
export REMOTEIT_DEVELOPER_KEY="...your developer key..."
export REMOTEIT_USERNAME="...your remote.it username..."
export REMOTEIT_PASSWORD="...your remote.it password..."
​
python remoteit-login.py
Note: Make sure to put your developer key, remote.it username and password above.
