Introduction
Using the API requires a username, password, and an API key. To obtain this information, an authorized customer contact must request one from their implementation specialist or account manager. API interaction is token based, so before calling any data access methods you must first call the AccessToken method to acquire a token verifying your credibility. The token must then be passed in an authorization header named “BDToken” in all subsequent requests. The Arcoro API supports JSON data structures in the body of requests and responses. All methods are versioned, which is controlled via the URI path in the request. For example, posting to https://api.birddoghr.com/v1/AccessToken would call version 1 of that method, whereas https://api.birddoghr.com/v2/AccessToken would call version 2.
