Authentication With WACM Connect

Base URL

WACM Connect API uses HTTP Basic Authentication over HTTPS to ensure secure access. The base URL is https://api.wacm.wasabisys.com

Authentication

WACM Connect supports HTTP Basic Authentication using your:

• Username: Your WACM Connect account username

• Password: Your WACM Connect API key

The Authorization header must be included in each request and contain a base64-encoded string in the following format:

Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded-string>

where:

<base64-encoded-string> = base64(YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_API_KEY)

Example (using curl):

curl -X GET https://api.wacm.wasabisys.com/resource \
  -H "Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6YXBpa2V5MTIzNDU2"

You can generate the base64 string in most terminals, for example:

echo -n 'username:apikey123456' | base64

Authentication With API Clients

If your HTTP client (such as Postman, Python requests, etc.) supports Basic Auth, you can configure it using:

• Username: Your WACM username

• Password: Your WACM API key

Example in Python:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.wacm.wasabisys.com/resource",
    auth=HTTPBasicAuth('your_username', 'your_api_key')
)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
