When making API calls to the Auvik REST API, how are authentication credentials passed?
Answer: Authorization header with Basic base64-encoded username:apikey
Auvik API credentials are passed using the HTTP Authorization header with the Basic scheme, where the username and API key are concatenated with a colon and base64-encoded.
What parameter is typically used in Auvik API requests to scope results to a specific client tenant?
Answer: tenantDomainPrefix
The tenantDomainPrefix parameter identifies a specific client tenant in Auvik's multi-tenant architecture, allowing API queries to return data scoped to that client only.
If an Auvik API call returns HTTP status code 429, what does this indicate and what is the correct response?
Answer: Rate limit exceeded — implement backoff and retry after the specified delay
HTTP 429 means Too Many Requests — the API rate limit has been exceeded, and the caller should implement an exponential backoff strategy and retry after the delay indicated in the Retry-After response header.
The Auvik REST API endpoint URLs follow which regional naming format?
Answer: https://auvikapi.{region}.my.auvik.com/v1
Auvik API endpoints follow the regional format https://auvikapi.{region}.my.auvik.com/v1, where the region (e.g., us1, eu1) reflects the data residency location for that Auvik account.
Which Auvik API endpoint category would an MSP query to retrieve a list of all managed network devices and their current statuses?
Answer: The /inventory/device endpoint
The /inventory/device endpoint returns information about all network devices Auvik has discovered and is monitoring, including device type, status, and management details.
When integrating Auvik with a third-party SIEM for real-time security event monitoring, which Auvik feature is most commonly leveraged?
Answer: Auvik's alert webhook notifications sent to the SIEM ingestion endpoint
Alert webhook notifications allow Auvik to push alert events in real time to a SIEM's HTTP ingestion endpoint, enabling near-instant security event correlation without polling.
What is the primary advantage of using the Auvik REST API over manual CSV exports for integrating network data into external business systems?
Answer: Real-time programmatic access allows automated, continuously updated data flows without manual steps
The Auvik REST API enables automated, on-demand access to current network data, eliminating the manual effort, scheduling delays, and human error associated with periodic CSV exports.
