HTTP Response Codes

The method may return one of the following HTTP status codes:
Status CodeDescription
200The request was successful
401Required authentication information is either missing or not valid for the resource.
400Invalid input - if the file is invalid or corrupted
500If any unexpected error occurs while submitting the request.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
