Getting Started

Welcome to the Docusnap365 REST API! This guide walks you through the initial setup required to authenticate and start making API requests..

1️⃣ Generate an API Key

Before making API requests, you must create an API Key in Docusnap365.

Steps to create an API Key:

  1. In Docusnap365, click the gear icon (top right) and select API Keys.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter a name for your API key (e.g., README-Api-Key).
  4. Set an expiration date (e.g., 28.02.20XX).
  5. Assign the necessary permissions:
    • Read → Required for GET requests.
    • Write → Required for POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.

If you don’t enable the Write permission, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests will result in a 403 Forbidden error.


2️⃣ Authenticate API Requests

Once you have an API Key, include it in every request using the x-api-key header.

Example Request

GET /api/v2/segment/iphosts HTTP/1.1
Host: api.docusnap365.com
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
