API Key

An API Key is specific to a user and allows access to the API with the key replacing the usage of user credentials for authentication.

The REST API provides support for a number of operations:

Create a New API Key

Creates a new API key for a user.

  • URI /api/v1/apikey
  • Method POST
  • Headers Authorization, Content-Type: application/json
  • Body
    {
      "username": "myLdapUsername"
    }
    
  • Success response
    Content-Type: application/json
    
    {
      "ok": true,
      "id": "...",
      "key": "..."
    }
    
  • Example
    curl -u myLdapUser \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "username": "myLdapUser" }' \
    http://concord.example.com/api/v1/apikey
