Authentication

To learn how to obtain your personal access token, refer to the Access Token Generation section in the documentation.

All users, including those with free accounts, must generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) to authenticate with the SPLX Platform API.

Using the Personal Access Token

Once you've obtained your personal access token, include it in the header of your request as a value of a "X-Api-Key" key:

X-Api-Key = "<PAT>"

Example Request:

curl -L \
  --request POST \
  --url '/api/v2/test-run/trigger' \  
  --header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \  # Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your personal access token
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json-patch+json' \  
  --data '{"targetId":1,"probeIds":[1,2,3],"name":"SPLX Test Run"}'  

Response to Unauthorized Access

If the Authorization header is not provided, or if an invalid token is used, the API will return a 401 Unauthorized error. This response indicates that authentication is required to access the requested resource.

Example Response:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Unauthorized: Authentication is required to access this resource.",
    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED"
  }
}

• Ensure your token is kept secure: Your personal access token provides access to your API resources. Do not share or expose your token publicly.

• Token Expiry: Personal access tokens may have an expiration date based on the configuration set during their creation. Make sure to regenerate your token if needed.
