Pivot API overview

The Pivot API is available only for Imply Enterprise (self-hosted) or for Imply Hybrid (formerly Imply Cloud) when using direct-access mode. You need direct network access to the Pivot application server.

You can use the API to create, modify, and delete resources in Pivot.

To enable the API you need to add the following to the Pivot configuration file:

enableApiEndpoint: true

You can then go to the API page to create a token.

api token

Once you create the token, you must supply it with an x-imply-api-token header when making requests to /api/v1/<resource-name>.

Available resources

The Pivot APIs include:
