You can use the API tokenization feature (Python) 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 |
|---|
|
Step 2: Authenticate into the Armor API system
To authenticate, you need to build a header with the following components:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
app_id | Enter the Key ID generated from AMP. |
secret_key | Enter the Secret Key generated from AMP. |
request_path | |
http_method | Enter POST. |
timestamp | Enter a Unix time stamp within 5 minutes of the current time. |
nonce | Enter a unique ID.
|
|
| Info |
|---|
For all v2 API's, the request body should be empty. |

app_id = "<api_key_id>"
secret_key = "<secret_key>"
request_path = urlparse.urlparse(path).path
http_method = "POST"
timestamp = int(time.time())
nonce = uuid.uuid4()
hash_obj = hashlib.sha512(json.dumps(body)).digest()
request_body = base64.b64encode(hash_obj)

"Authorization": auth_header
}
response = requests.post(self._url(path), data=json.dumps(body), headers=request_header)
print (response.status_code)
