Connect to Enthusiast's API

Once you have the API token for a service account, you can connect to Enthusiast's API.

Trying out the API Using Swagger UI​

success

You can now interact with the API. Let’s query some data.

The Swagger UI lists all available endpoints organized by functionality. You can test an endpoint directly from your browser using the Try it out feature.

Example: Retrieving Data Sets with GET /api/data_sets​

  1. Find the GET /api/data_sets endpoint in the list.
  2. Expand the endpoint by clicking on it.
  3. Click Try it out.
  4. Click Execute to send the request.

Using curl​

To authenticate with Enthusiast's API using curl from the terminal, include the API token in the header of each request:

  • GET and DELETE Request:

    curl -X 'GET/DELETE' \
      'http://localhost:8000/api/<PATH>' \
      -H 'accept: application/json' \
      -H 'Authorization: Token <API_TOKEN>'

  • POST, PUT and PATCH Request:

    curl -X 'POST/PUT/PATCH' \
        'http://localhost:8000/api/<PATH>' \
        -H 'accept: application/json' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        -H 'Authorization: Token <API_TOKEN>' \
        -d '{
        "key": "value"
        }'
info

Replace <API_TOKEN> with your actual API token and <PATH>> with the specific API endpoint.

Example curl command:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://localhost:8000/api/data_sets' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Token <API_TOKEN>'
