Connecting to the API¶
The MetalSoft uses an OpenAPI REST-based API.
For a quick getting started with it use the Postman collections:
Redoc documentation
https://<environment_hostname>/api/v2/redoc
Swagger documentation
https://<environment_hostname>/api/v2/swagger
The API endpoint:¶
The API endpoint is found at:
https://<environment_hostname>/api/v2
Retrieving my API key and connecting to the endpoint¶
Login then click on API credentials on the upper right corner.
Then click on the API key input to display your API key.
The API key can be regenerated if it is compromised by clicking the “Generate a new key” button.
Authenticating to the API¶
The authentication uses the API Key in the Bearer header of all HTTP request methods.
Authorization: Bearer <API_Key>
header. Note that the API key can be regenerated at any time using the UI and should be rotated periodically.
Examples¶
Consult the MetalSoft PostMan REST Workspace for in-depth details on how to use the API.
