Authentication

Base URL

All requests use this base URL:

https://live.waypointapi.com

Every request goes over HTTPS and uses content-type: application/json.

API keys & authentication

Waypoint uses a Username and Password pair to authenticate API requests via Basic HTTP Authentication. These are not the same as your Waypoint dashboard login.

To create an API key:

1. Open the ‘Settings’ page of your workspace.
2. Scroll to the ‘API keys’ section, click ’+ Add key’, and follow the prompts.
3. After the key is created, scroll back to the ‘API keys’ section — you’ll see your new Username and Password to use in the authorization header.
