Question 1

When making API calls to the Auvik REST API, how are authentication credentials passed?

Accepted Answer

Authorization header with Basic base64-encoded username:apikey

Answer

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.

Question 2

What parameter is typically used in Auvik API requests to scope results to a specific client tenant?

Accepted Answer

tenantDomainPrefix

Answer

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.

Question 3

If an Auvik API call returns HTTP status code 429, what does this indicate and what is the correct response?

Accepted Answer

Rate limit exceeded — implement backoff and retry after the specified delay

Answer

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?

Accepted 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.

Question 5

Which Auvik API endpoint category would an MSP query to retrieve a list of all managed network devices and their current statuses?

Accepted 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.
