Authentication

There are two methods for making an authenticated request to the Immuta API. Select a tab below for instructions.

API key method

1. Generate your API key on the API Keys tab on your profile page and save the API key somewhere secure.

2. You will pass this API key in the authorization header when you make a request, as illustrated in the example below:

   curl \
       --request GET \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --header "Authorization: 846e9e43c86a4ct1be14290d95127d13f" \
       https://your-immuta-url.immuta.com/data/connection/123456789

Bearer token method

1. Generate your API key on the API Keys tab on your profile page and save the API key somewhere secure.

2. Pass this API key in the authorization header and make the following request to the authentication endpoint:

   curl \
       --request POST \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       https://your-immuta-url.immuta.com/bim/apikey/authenticate \
       -d '{ "apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY" }'

3. You will receive a response that includes your bearer token. Pass that bearer token in the authorization header when you make a request, as illustrated in the example below:

   curl \
       --request GET \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --header "Authorization: Bearer dea464c07bd07300095caa8" \
