Endpoints

When certain triggers are added to your Lair, WayScript auto-generates custom endpoints to provide external access to your tool. By default, endpoints are unique to each Lair environment (see Deployments for more details on environments) and protected to be only accessible by workspace members. 
Making requests to protected endpoints
Requests to protected endpoints can be made in two ways:
If the requests are made through a browser, they can be authenticated through WayScript's standard account credentials. As per standard session management, WayScript stores these credentials as cookies so subsequent requests do not require repeat entry of credentials. 
If requests are made outside of the browser, they can be authenticated using a WayScript workspace member's application key. See details below on how to access and use your application key.
Accessing your application key
Your application key can be accessed by navigating to your workspace settings and selecting "Application Key". You can then view and/or copy your application key. 
Application keys are unique both per workspace member and per workspace (if the account is a member of multiple workspaces). If your application key is compromised, you can regenerated a new key, which will invalidate your old key.  
Making requests using application key
Requests made to protected Lair endpoints outside the browser must pass a workspace member's application key in the Authorization header as a bearer token.
Example: curl
Example: Python
1
$ curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Application Key>' '<Lair endpoint URL>'
