As part of supporting Jamf Pro‘s API functionality, Jamf has made interactive documentation pages available with every Jamf Pro installation via the following address:

https://jamf.pro.server.here/api

When choosing to view the Classic API or Jamf Pro API documentation, there’s an option to log in and authenticate, so that you can run API commands interactively to see how running the commands works in real time and what results you see. This functionality is also useful when setting up API accounts with least privileged access, as it allows testing to verify that all necessary privileges have been assigned to the accounts.

Up until now, this authentication mechanism only supported using username and password authentication but as of Jamf Pro 11.2.0, the authentication mechanism now supports both of the following authentication methods:

• Username/Password authentication
• API client authentication

To use your preferred authentication method, please select it from the relevant drop-down menu.
