even using the Interactive console and putting in the basic authentication im told I need to be authenticated. When I connect with cURL i get :

 

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Server: nginx/0.8.54 Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:56:23 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Connection: keep-alive WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="REST API" Content-Length: 1095

 

does the request have to come from a certain IP in my company ?

 

I cant find anything about this in your documentation on the site. Where would I find this info ?

 

thanks

So i finally found this in the documentation. I had to open Traffic, click help and then on API. Might be worth putting this info in with the API documentation on the site as I only clicked on help in traffic out of  desperation.
