Public API Basic Authentication
The SnapLogic public API uses basic authentication. How do I get the basic authentication token outside of SnapLogic? Is there an auth endpoint? How long is the token good for?
For anybody interested in knowing how to call a SnapLogic public API using Python:
import requests from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth snaplogic_user = "user@user.com" snaplogic_password = "SuperCoolPassword" url = "https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/public/runtime/<YourOrg>" auth = HTTPBasicAuth(snaplogic_user, snaplogic_password) response = requests.get(url, auth=auth)
You’ll definitely want to retrieve your username and password securely, but the gist is the same.
You can also send a request to the following endpoint:
{{SL_DOMAIN}}/api/1/rest/asset/session
The response will include a SnapLogic session token in the response_map, which will expire after 3300 seconds.
Use following token in the header in your subsequent request:
Authorization: SLToken {{SLtoken_value_from_auth_endpoint}}
