Viewing API in LS Cloud

[Dave_LaFleur]

Good morning.  I was hoping that someone could tell me what program I need to use to view APIs in LS Cloud?

If you are looking to make use of the Lansweeper API, there's no way to "view" it, but instead you will use an application like Postman (mentioned above) to make calls to the Lansweeper API:

• Lansweeper Cloud offers an Integration Framework and API that lets you access assets via REST and GraphQL endpoints.

• To use it, you first create an API client in the Lansweeper Cloud UI:

  1. Go to Settings → Developer tools → Add new API client.

  2. Choose Personal Access Token, give your client a name (and optionally a description/image), then save and copy the generated token. docs.axonius.com

Once you have the token, you can use Postman (or a similar API tool such as Insomnia) to make API calls.

Step What to Do

1.	In LS Cloud: Go to Settings → Developer Tools → Add New API Client → Personal Access Token to create a token. docs.axonius.com
2.	Install and open Postman (or another REST client).
3.	Use the token (as a bearer token in headers) to access LS Cloud’s APIs via REST or GraphQL endpoints.
4.	To explore and test endpoints, use Postman’s features: collections, authentication scripts, automation, etc.

Hello Dave, 

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. 

If you want to call the Lansweeper API with an application, then Postman would be a good solution. 

It has a version that you can download and install, and you can also use it through the browser.
