API Access
API access is available for certain account types, allowing admins to self-manage API tokens for the standard ScoutDNS Operator API.
This help article covers the Public Operator API. For access to other APIs, such as the OEM API, please contact support.
Create API Token
Accessing and using the Operator API requires authentication with a token. To create a token, select the API Access Management page from the profile icon at the top right.
API Limits
The number of APIs you can create and manage depends on your account subscription level. To generate an API, select "New API" at the top right. This will create a new access token, which you can copy using the "Copy" option on the right-hand side of the UI. Operators can revoke and reissue keys at any time as needed.
API Documentation
ScoutDNS maintains official API documentation on its online Swagger Hub page. You can use this page to track updates, view available capabilities, and stay informed about any changes. Features and capabilities are subject to change, so please refer to the official Swagger Hub for the latest API information.
