Configuring the API

Version 23.0.9145


Configuring the API


After you create resources for your API, perform the steps in the following sections to expose the resources to authorized users and IP addresses (by default, all IP addresses are allowed).

Configuring Access Control

Manage access to the APIs through the web interface, as follows:

  1. Select Settings > Server in the CData API Server Administration Console to define the IP addresses that are allowed to access API Server. You can also define rate limiting.

    If you connect from a browser-based client, you also need to configure cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).

  2. Select Settings > Users to create users and their corresponding auth tokens. See User-Specific Limits to configure user-specific rate limits.

Authenticating to the APIs

After you deploy the server and create API users, you can provide auth-token authentication in your API requests.
