The credentials you enter are used to authenticate the request.The browser handles the required elements of the request in the following ways: The index for the organization resource, which contains descriptions and URIs for every organization in the system, is returned. To view information about organizations, append the base URI of the API with the URI for the organization resource: If you are accessing the API through an Administration Portal, Database Server, or All-In-One Appliance, the "/api" portion of the base URI is included in all resource URIs returned by the API.įor example, the URI "/organization" has the description "Get/Update/Add/Delete Organizations". The response contains a list of URIs for the resources that are available through the API: The response for the main resource index is displayed. Enter the username and password for a user account in the system.The standard authentication window is displayed. Navigate to the base URI of the API for the appliance you are using.If possible, you should use Mozilla Firefox to perform these steps.
Some browsers, including Safari and Internet Explorer, will not display raw XML correctly. When you request a resource from the API using a web browser, the API will respond in raw XML format. To familiarize yourself with performing basic requests, you can use a standard web browser: Information about the requested resource in the format specified in the request. This information supplements the HTTP Status Code. Contains additional information about the result of a request. For Integration Servers, the base URI of the API is:.For Database Servers, Administration Portals, and All-In-One Appliances, the base URI of the API is:.The base URI includes information about the appliance you are using to access the API: The base URI of the API is the full address of the main API index. The API supports application/xml and application/json formats. Specifies which format should be used for the response. Correlates to the action you would like to perform on the resource. The URI for the resource (entity) you are performing the request on. The credentials you include in the HTTP request are validated against the user accounts stored in the system. The API uses HTTP authentication methods. All communication with the API is handled by HTTPS requests. This section gives a brief overview of how to communicate with an appliance that provides access to the API. The following SL1 appliances provide access to the API: Much like the user interface provides access to SL1 for end users, the API provides access to SL1 for external systems. The API gives access to entities in SL1- such as tickets, devices, and collected data - using standard HTTP request/response protocols. The ScienceLogic API allows external systems to programmatically access data in SL1.
