Getting Started
Galileo provides a public REST API that you can use to interact with the Galileo platform. This API allows you to perform various operations across Evaluate, Observe and Protect. This guide will help you get started with the Galileo REST API.
Base API URL
The first thing you need to talk to the Galileo API is the base URL of your Galileo API instance.
If you know the URL that you use to access the Galileo console, you can replace console
in it with api
. For example, if your Galileo console URL is https://console.galileo.myenterprise.com
, then your base URL for the API is https://api.galileo.myenterprise.com
.
Verify the Base URL
To verify the base URL of your Galileo API instance, you can send a GET
request to the healthcheck
endpoint.
Authentication
For interacting with our public endpoints, you can use any of the following methods to authenticate your requests:
API Key
To use your API key to authenticate your requests, include the key in the HTTP headers for your requests.
HTTP Basic Auth
To use HTTP Basic Auth to authenticate your requests, include your username and password in the HTTP headers for your requests.
JWT Token
To use a JWT token to authenticate your requests, include the token in the HTTP headers for your requests.
We recommend using this method for high-volume requests because it is more secure (expires after 24 hours) and scalable than using an API key.
To generate a JWT token, send a GET
request to the get-token
endpoint using the API Key or HTTP Basic auth.
