# antMan REST API

{% hint style="warning" %}
The antMan REST API may change at any time. 
{% endhint %}

You can view the swagger-ui using the following url

```
http://myantsle.local/swagger-ui
```

If you have renamed your Antsle, replace 'myantsle' in the URL with the name of your antsle - or the antsles private IP address.\
\&#xNAN;*The URL (localhost:4444) in the following images is unique to our lab setup. AntMan is actually listening on port 3000.*

![](/files/-M-BdxRZ6CTmN31CiMQQ)

First you need to authenticate and receive an access token

Open the 'auth' section

![](/files/-M-Be-9B4HPftfGnBqLe)

And open the /api/login section\
 Click in the 'Example Value' box to populate the 'Bodyxxx' field.\
Edit the values of the json object with your antlse's username and password.\
Click 'Try it out!'

![](/files/-M-Be254zmEkmgeOheC3)

This will give you an example cURL command to authenticate and retrieve an access token.\
The 'Response Body' field contains your access token

![](/files/-M-Be4VxjDcjuu_U76DY)

In subsequent calls you would add an 'Authorization' header to the cURL command with your access token.

```
--header 'Authorization: Token eyJhbGciO...'
```

```
curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/octet-stream' --header 'Authorization: Token eyJhbGciO...' 
```
