How to make a REST API request

You need Landscape 24.04 LTS to use the REST API. This API is only available for self-hosted accounts at this time.

This guide demonstrates how to make a request using the Landscape REST API from a self-hosted Landscape account. The general steps and an example using curl are provided.

Make a REST API request with your preferred API tool

The general steps to make a REST API request are:

Provide your login credentials with POST
Copy your token from the output
Assign your token to a new variable, such as JWT
Make your API request, using your token for authorisation

Make a REST API request with `curl`

To make a REST API request with curl:

Provide your login credentials with POST. Your request will be similar to the following

curl -X POST "https://your-landscape.domain.com/api/v2/login" -d '{"email": "jane@example.com", "password": "jane-pwd", "account": "standalone"}'

And you’ll receive output similar to:

{
    "accounts": [
        {
            "default": true,
            "name": "standalone",
            "title": "Jane-Organisation"
        }
    ],
    "current_account": "standalone",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "name": "Jane Smith",
    "token": "qkJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJskdi296MTcxMDM2MTQxNiwic3ViIjoieWFuaXNhLnNjaGVyYmVyQGNhbm9uaWNhbC5jb20iLCJhY2MiOiJzdGFuZGFsb2i93nboPRfXp50"
}

Copy your token from the output and assign it to a new variable, such as JWT:

JWT="qkJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJskdi296MTcxMDM2MTQxNiwic3ViIjoieWFuaXNhLnNjaGVyYmVyQGNhbm9uaWNhbC5jb20iLCJhY2MiOiJzdGFuZGFsb2i93nboPRfXp50"

Make your API request, using your token as authorisation. For example:

curl -X GET https://your-landscape.domain.com/api/v2/activities -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT"
