You can use the API tokenization feature in the Armor Management Portal (AMP) to create an API key. This key will help you log into the Armor API system.
Step 1: Create an API key
Insert excerpt ESLP:Create an API (snippet) ESLP:Create an API (snippet) nopanel true
Step 2: Authenticate into the Armor API system
To authenticate, you need to build a header with the following components:
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
def _post_requests_apiKey_payload(self, path="/example/anywhere", body = ):
app_id = "<api_key_id>"
secret_key = "<secret_key>"
request_path = urlparse(path).path
http_method = "POST"
timestamp = int(time.time())
nonce = uuid.uuid4()
hash_obj = hashlib.sha512(bytes(json.dumps(body), 'utf-8'))
request_body = base64.standard_b64encode(hash_obj.digest())
content = (app_id, http_method, request_path, str(nonce), str(timestamp), request_body.decode())
request_data = ''.join(content)
mc = hmac.new(bytes(secret_key, 'utf-8'), bytes(request_data, 'utf-8'), hashlib.sha512)
signature = base64.standard_b64encode(mc.digest())
auth_header = "ARMOR-PSK " + str(app_id) + ':' + str(signature.decode('utf-8')) + ':' + str(
nonce) + ':' + str(timestamp)
request_header = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
"Authorization": auth_header
}
response = requests.post(self._url(path), data=json.dumps(body), headers=request_header)
print (response.status_code)
return response |
Step 3: Make an API Call
To learn about the different calls that you can make, see Armor API Guide.
