Every request requires a special token, called API key. By using a token, the underlying user to whom the token has been assigned will be impersonated, and the actions treated the same as if the user used his login and password.
To create a token:
1.Sign-in to RayVentory Data Hub.
2.Go to your Profile page.
3.Activate the tab API KEYS.
4.Press + Add to open the token wizard.
5.Provide the required values.
oName: The display name of the token. This should be any value which describes the purpose or the owner of the token.
oTenant: A token is always valid for a specific tenant. This dropdown defines the assignment.
oAPI Key: This is the actual API key used for authentication. You should leave the default value unless you want to brand your tokens with any pattern.
6.Important: Save the API Key to a secure location. As soon as you press Save changes or Discard this value will be not shown anymore!
7.Save changes by pressing Save changes button.

Note: Tenant database can be optionally encrypted. The API endpoint ensures that the encryption is done transparently - the information sent to the endpoint should be always unencrypted, regardless of the backend and tenant settings. |
