Cloud Rewind API

Introduction

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Cloud Rewind API, which is designed to facilitate seamless integration with various cloud service providers. The API enables users to manage and configure cloud resources, ensuring efficient backup, recovery, and protection strategies across multiple platforms.

Authentication

To interact with the Cloud Rewind REST API, all requests must be authenticated using a JSON Web Token (JWT). These tokens securely encode the user's identity and are required to access protected API endpoints. Any unauthenticated request will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.

How to Authenticate

Generate an API Token

Navigate to IAM > Users > Service Accounts in the Cloud Rewind UI to create an API token. This token is a long-lived JWT Bearer Token and remains valid until it is manually revoked or regenerated.

Use the Token in Requests

Include the token in the Authorization header of your HTTP requests.

Security Note

Treat your token like a password. Do not expose it in client-side code or public repositories. Rotate it periodically for enhanced security.
