Using the API

UniView Portal provides public APIs that customers can use to develop their own tools to access their Portal data. Our public API uses the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow, but we generally support OIDC protocol. Auth-related endpoints can be discovered through https://login.backup.net/.well-known/openid-configuration.

To get started, create public API credentials as described below. For an example request, see Get public API access_token example. For a description of each public API, see UniView Portal's Public API.

To create public API credentials

  1. In the UniView Portal, click .
  2. In the API Access view, click + New.
  3. Enter a name for the credentials. Click Save.
  4. Copy and save the Client ID and Client Secret.

IMPORTANT  Be sure to save the Client Secret in a safe place. You will not be able to access the Client Secret after you close this dialog.

  1. Click Close.
  2. Credentials are added to the Public API Credentials page.
