Introduction

The Webshare API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

The Webshare API supports backwards compatibility. Any API changes always are backwards compatible.

We have language bindings in Shell and HTTP! You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

Authentication

Authenticated Request Example

import requests

requests.get("https://proxy.webshare.io/api/", headers={"Authorization": "Token <APIKEY>"})

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "https://proxy.webshare.io/api/" \
  -H "Authorization: Token <APIKEY>"

Make sure to replace <APIKEY> with your API key.

Webshare uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can register a new Webshare API key at our API keys page.

Webshare expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

Authorization: Token <APIKEY>

User Profile

The user profile object

You can use the API to retrieve information about your Webshare user profile.

The user profile object

{  
  "email": "user@webshare.io",
  "full_name": "First Last Name",
  "date_joined": "2019-06-09T23:34:00.095501-07:00",
  "last_login": "2019-06-09T23:34:00.095501-07:00"
}

Reseller User Object

Attributes Description
email Email for the Webshare account
full_name Full name of the user. May be empty string. The name is retrieved from Google Auth.
date_joined Registration time of the Webshare account.
last_login Last login time of the Webshare account. The API requests do not modify the last_login field.
