Getting Started with the Pro Series API
Welcome to the Pro Series API! This guide will walk you through the essential steps to start managing your FORT Robotics configurations, devices, and users programmatically.
Step 1: Create an API Key
First, you'll need to generate an API key from the FORT Manager web application. Log in to the FORT Manager web app. Navigate to the API Key Management page in your settings. Click Create. Give your key a description and assign it the necessary roles to define its permissions. When you create a key, a corresponding service account user is also created. This user is referenced in logs and audit trails for any actions performed by the key.
Step 2: Copy Your Key
After creating the key, you will be shown the key value. Copy this key immediately and store it in a secure location.
Step 3: Authenticate and Make API Calls
To authenticate your requests, include the API key in the Authorization header of your HTTP request, prefixed with Bearer. All API requests should be made to the base URL:
Here is an example of how to make an authenticated request using cURL: Bash
