Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Authenticate via HTTP Basic with your account username and API token. Examples use an explicit 'Authorization: Basic <base64(username:token)>' header; 'curl -u username:token' is equivalent. For sandbox, append "-test" to your username and use your sandbox token on api.dev.name.com.

Headers

​
X-Idempotency-Key
string

A unique string (e.g., a UUID v4) to make the request idempotent. This key ensures that if the request is retried, the operation will not be performed multiple times. Subsequent requests with the same key will return the original result.

Example:

"083910ef-04e4-4bd1-a0bf-3737fe005ca8"
