BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud API 2.0 + Video + Postman [ Edited ]

[#1]

Hello,

The Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud API is an interface based on REST (REpresentational State Transfer), also called a RESTful web API. These are not dependent on any programming language. It uses HTTP methods for operations and supports input and output in JSON. It supports the primary or most commonly used HTTP verbs: POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE. These correspond to create, read, update, and delete (or CRUD) operations, respectively.

Below you can see a video with the new API’s that are available as of this posting:

For a comprehensive list of all API’s available with BOTD and their details please use the following link: https://csp.infoblox.com/apidoc

To export the most recent API collections to Postman:

1. Navigate to https://csp.infoblox.com/apidoc

2. Click the link next to the name.

3. Copy the JSON text from the new window.

4. Open up Postman and click “Import”.

5. Select “Paste Raw Text”.

6. Past the copied JSON text from step 3 and hit “Import”.

I am having an issue while performing the task.

Hello Nona,

What part are you stuck on?

thank you,

I also got stuck on the Authentication.

In the video you explain an Authorization key {{token}} and how to pull the API key from the portal.

What the video does not explain is that the Authorization code is "Token my_api_key" where I was simply using my API key without the word Token

Hello EPeeters,

This is a good point!

For the Authentication you must use the "Token <API-KEY>" where you must use the "Token" key word. without it the requests will fail.

Thank you for your feedback!
