Autonomous Identity 2021.8.2

About the Autonomous Identity API

Autonomous Identity provides a RESTful application programming interface (API) that lets you use HTTP request methods (GET, PUT, and POST) to interact with the system and its components. The API lets a developer make requests to send or receive data to an Autonomous Identity endpoint, a point where the API communicates with the system. The data that is sent or returned is in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.

Autonomous Identity provides a Swagger client that you can access on the console.

Using Swagger

The Autonomous Identity installs with a Swagger client that lets you interact with the Autonomous Identity API and the configuration service API. Swagger is a popular software that provides design, build, test, and documentation tools for RESTful APIs.
