Hi Arvindh, Currently we take both the user API key and password for any API calls, but that might change in the future.
The best approach for now is to use the Auth API with the username and password, store the API key from the response and use it for subsequent API calls. The API looks like this: POST https://api.heroku.com/login Params: username, password Response: JSON { "api_key": "abc123" } Thanks, Pedro On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 11:39 PM, Arvindh Sukumar <[email protected]> wrote: > According to the Heroku API docs, authentication is done using the User's > API Key as password, and a blank username, through HTTP Basic > authentication.
