Using Admin API

You can send your requests to the API using any API client or event curl. Make sure you set the Authorization header in the form of Token <YOUR_TOKEN>, so that we know it’s you making the requests.

If the request requires a parameter, you may need to add Content-type header and required data.

Examples with curl:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token <YOUR_TOKEN>" "<YOUR_SERVER>/api/v1/admin/<YOUR_REQUEST>"

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token <YOUR_TOKEN>" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"<PARAM_KEY>": <PARAM_VALUE>}' "<YOUR_SERVER>/api/v1/admin/<YOUR_REQUEST>"
