Authenticate your request

Make your first API call

To verify that you can connect to the Cleverbridge REST API, call the Test Connection endpoint:

curl --location 'https://rest.cleverbridge.com/connection/test' \
            --header 'Accept: application/json' \
            --header 'Authorization: Basic YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS'

This resource validates that:

  • You can connect to rest.cleverbridge.com.
  • Your API user credentials are valid.
    Successful response
{
"Result": "OK"
}

A successful request returns HTTP 200 OK.
