This API ensures that your team can focus on building, testing, and deploying code with minimal manual intervention, automating many of the repetitive tasks involved in package management.

Authentication

To interact with the RepoForge.io REST API, authentication is required through an Access Token that assumes the API Access role. This Access Token is necessary to authorize API requests and ensures secure communication between your systems and RepoForge.io.

To get started, you will need to generate an Access Token through the RepoForge.io dashboard. Once generated, this token can be used as a Bearer token in your API requests. For example, you can use the Access Token to fetch data from the API or perform actions like viewing access logs.

Here’s a basic example of how to authenticate and make a simple API request to fetch access logs using Python and the requests library:

import requests

token = "mytoken"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"
}
response = requests.get("https://api.repoforge.io/rest/v1/access-logs", headers=headers)
assert response.status_code == 200
print(response.json())
