    Authentication With WACM Connect

    • PDF

    Article summary

    WACM Connect API endpoint:   https://api.wacm.wasabisys.com

    For security, the WACM Connect API supports only HTTPS.

    WACM Connect supports HTTP Basic Authentication. This means that when sending API calls, you will need to send an HTTP Authentication header with a base64 encoded value of <YOUR_USERNAME>:<YOUR_API_KEY>.

    If you are using a client that supports HTTP Basic Authentication, you can use the username and password fields, where the password is your WACM Connect API key.

    All methods will return an HTTP status code of 200 on success and a non-200 value for failure. For a failure, a failure description is returned in the JSON response.
