You can use any HTTPS capable communications interface to obtain a token and interface with the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant REST API. This can be: cURL, a browser, programming languages such as Python, Java, C, and so forth.

Access the REST API resources over HTTPS. Use your SuperCluster user name and password for authentication.

An authentication token is valid for 30 minutes.

For example:

$ echo $(curl -kX POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \ 
-d '{
"username":"user1", 
"password":"password"
    }' \ 
'https://myhost.us.example.com:13000/api/api-token-auth/')

{"token":"cccccccc99bdc004f51338e6c38e636233333333"}
