Authorization

This endpoint requires a "ReportingCloud-APIKey" or a "Basic" user authorization to access the user account, data and templates. Only one of these two methods is required.

API Keys describes how to create an API key, and Authentication explains both header forms.

ReportingCloud-APIKey

Header fieldDescription
AuthorizationRequired. A valid ReportingCloud account is required. The Authorization field is constructed as follows: An API key needs to be generated in the portal or with PUT /v1/account/apikey. The authorization method and a space, "ReportingCloud-APIKey ", is then put before the actual API key string. For example: Authorization: ReportingCloud-APIKey oMDM4MrAqL9QEOpyzupnQW5NjvCNtvE5cVDaaLqxI

Basic

Header fieldDescription
AuthorizationRequired. A valid ReportingCloud account is required. The Authorization field is constructed as follows: The user name and password are combined into a string separated by a colon, for example username:password. The resulting string is encoded using the RFC2045-MIME variant of Base64, except not limited to 76 char/line. The authorization method and a space, "Basic ", is then put before the encoded string. For example: Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l
