  • Partner API: Use these APIs to configure and manage your MSP tenant.
  • Clumio API: Use these APIs to configure and manage your clumio related resources.

Authentication​

Security Scheme Type:apiKey
Header parameter name:Authtoken
Customer Managed:

Commvault REST APIs support token-based authentication via the Authtoken request header. Use the POST Login API to retrieve the authentication token, and include it in the Authtoken header for all requests. You can also use access tokens as an alternative.

SaaS:

The Login API authenticates against the partner portal for partner customers or the Commvault core product for standalone customers. It returns an authToken — either a JWT token or a QSDK token based on the customer type — which must be included as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for subsequent API calls. You can also use access tokens as an alternative.
