The ITSA API uses API keys to authenticate requests. As an active ITSA Member, you can request your API keys from the ITSA Team. If you are not currently an active member but would like to use our API nonetheless, please contact [email protected].
Your API keys carry many special privileges, so make sure that you keep them secure! Never share API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth. The ITSA Team will never ask you to identify yourself with your API key if you need support, so never share your keys with anyone asking.
Authentication for the API is done by providing your API key in the header of your request:
--header 'Authorization: bcb38abb875e09hf170erd3ak6ab2003'
You do not need to provide a password. All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authorization will also fail.
