Authentication

The Edge Analytics API supports the following authentication methods:

• API keys (or API tokens).

API keys

An API key is a string of text that identifies a user within the API. It must be provided when making API calls.

Info

You can manage your API keys through the Edge Services Platform. More details on how to get API keys on the Edge Intelligence's Credentials section.

Requests

Requests must follow the standard HTTP Bearer authentication scheme to make authenticated calls to the API.

With this scheme you must include the API key on the Authorization HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer <api_key>

So you just need to replace the <api_key> placeholder with your credentials. Example request:

Sample request

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer my-valid-api-key' -X 'POST' 'https://api.system73.com/analytics/v1/metrics/buffer_health'
