Make your first API call

The following examples vary depending on the type of key you select.

You can test authentication with Advanced API keys using the provided Python 3 example. With Standard API keys, use either the cURL example or the Python 3 example. Don't forget to replace the example variables with your unique API key, API key ID, and FQDN tenant. After you verify authentication, you can begin making API calls.

Create an incident - Standard key cURL example

curl -X POST https://company.us.com/incident 
-H "Authorization:{api_key}" 
-H "Content-Type:application/json" 
--data '{
"details": "My test incident",
"name": "My test incident",
"severity": 2,
"type": "Unclassified"
}'

Standard Key Python 3 Example

import requests
    def test_standard_authentication(api_key):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": api_key
    }
    parameters = {}
    res = requests.post(url="https://company.us.com/incident",
						headers=headers,
						json=parameters)
    return res
