REST Api v1

While we're working on exposing all Alf.io functionalities through APIs (this will happen in v2) we decided to develop a very simple API for creating / updating / deleting and retrieving event statistics.

Organization-level APIs

System-level APIs

Credits

Authentication

You must specify an API Client ApiKey in order to call the APIs.

curl -X POST  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/event/create \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey e210468a-1831-4cf2-93d8-8cc093c7bd7d" \
-H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "REQUEST_BODY_JSON (see below)"

ApiKey can be:

  • A system API Key for system-level requests (i.e. create a new organization)
  • An organization-level API Key for creating events and creating reservations

Organization-level requests

You can create an organization-level API Key from your Alf.io instance. Select "API Key" from the top menu and then fill in the details.

System-level requests

Only the "admin" user can view and rotate the System API Key. Select "API Key" from the top menu. You'll see
