Using the API

RPort comes with a Restful API that enabled you to integrate RPort into your projects.

Get your API Token

To use the API, you must get your personal API token. A token belongs to a user, and all user-rights (or limits) are applied to each transaction executed with the token.

From the settings menu in the top-right corner, select "API Token". Generate a new token. The token is displayed only once. If you lose the token, it can't be recovered. So store the token in a safe place.

API Token generation

If you have command and/or scripts enabled on your clients, the API token can become very powerful. 🔥Taking full control over one or all clients might be possible with an API token.

• Store the token safely.

• Never communicate with the API without encryption (HTTPs).

• Delete tokens that are not used anymore.

Test the token

The base URL of the API is https://<server-domain>/api/v1. You must use HTTP basic authentication using your username and the API token as password.

Test the API connection by fetching the server status. Example:

curl -u john:740df110-8b06-4071-90c1-13645a023a85 \
https://example.users.rport.io/api/v1/status
