Using API key to authenticate requests
In order to authenticate API requests using your API key it needs to be provided as part of the headers of the request.
| Header | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| X-BLANCCO-API-KEY | Yes | The content of the header should be the API key. Not, for example, its name. It could look something like this: "8574e755-1f80-4af4-b7ae-a8187afb3909". However, the structure can change at any time. The only guarantee is that all API keys have a unique value. |
A below example shows how to include this as a part of simple curl request. Replace {UUID} with a valid report UUID and {API_KEY} with the key string of your API key:
| Code Block |
|---|
curl -X "GET" \
"https://api.eu-west-1.blancco.cloud/v1/report/export/{UUID}" \
-H "accept: */*" \
-H "X-BLANCCO-API-KEY: {API_KEY}" |
