How to connect to the API

The ACME API (Application Programming Interface) allows developers to integrate with the Acme platform.

Detailed information and API reference documentation can be found on here

The API requires the client to log in with a username and an API-key using Basic Access Authentication.

The client acts on behalf of the username supplied during authentication and receives the same permissions as if the username was logged into the Acme platform.

You can create and manage API keys from the Integrations menu in the Acme platform.

To set up a connection to the API

• Go to Integrations > API > API Keys
• Click on "Add user"
• Create a user with the rights and roles you want the API user to have in the platform
• Click on "Create API Key"
• Give your Key a description and choose the user created earlier
• The API Key can now be seen in the API Key table and used to gain access to the Acme API
