Note: The Datadog API Collection features a streamlined process for configuring authentication through [Collection variables] This eliminates the previous need to configure and select the Datadog Authentication environment. To access the legacy Datadog API Collection and authentication process, see the [Legacy Datadog API Collection]

The Datadog API is an HTTP REST API that uses resource-oriented URLs, responds with standard HTTP response codes, and returns JSON-formatted data for all requests. Use the Datadog API to access the Datadog platform programmatically.

Configure Datadog authentication by adding your API and application key values to the collection variables.

Note: If your Datadog account is not in the Datadog US1 site, deselect the datadoghq.com site variable. Select your Datadog site from the other available site variables.

  1. Retrieve or create your valid API and application key values from the Organization Settings page in Datadog, or through the Datadog API.
  2. Select the Datadog API Collection in Qodex.
  3. Click the Variables tab.
  4. Enter your API and application key values in the Current value field of the api_key and application_key variables, respectively:
The%20collection%20variables%20of%20the%20Datadog%20API%20Collection,%20with%20the%20api_key%20and%20application_key%20variables%20configured

5. Click Save.
