Public API

The API enables developers to perform actions such as login and run a test in LoadRunner Cloud. The public API is HTTP-based and RESTful. JSON is returned by all API responses.

At the end of each test run, a report is sent by email.

Integrate an application with LoadRunner Cloud

This section describes how to integrate an application with LoadRunner Cloud. You can authenticate with either a username and password, or with API access keys, consisting of a client ID and secret key.

Integrate an application using one of the following methods:

  • Invoke the /v1/auth API call with a username and password. The API call returns an access token. Set the LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY cookie to this token value, for example: Cookie: LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY=<token>.

  • Invoke the /v1/auth-client API call with a client id and secret key. The API call returns an OAuth token. Set the Bearer authentication header with the token value, for example: Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Tip: The client id and secret key can be used to authenticate instead of the LoadRunner Cloud username and password for all on-premises agents, such as on-premises load generators, Git integration, streaming data, and monitors. Unlike passwords which expire every three months, access keys do not expire.
