k6 Legacy REST API
Warning: The Legacy REST API is no longer under active development. It should not be used except when it provides capabilities not yet offered by the Grafana Cloud k6 REST API.
Welcome to the Legacy REST API docs!
The things you can do with the Legacy REST API include:
- View data about organizations
- Start tests
- Retrieve data about tests and test runs
Authentication
Authentication is based on a custom token scheme.
The Auth Token lets you interact with the k6 CLI and REST API.
Requests to the cloud API MUST contain an authorization header with the value of your token. Using curl, a request looks like this:
bash
curl -H "Authorization: token <YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE>" #replace with your token
