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.

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)"

You can create an API Key from your Alf.io instance (1.16+)
