Opsgenie and Postman - Maintenance with API

[Derek Stevenson]

Hello all! I'm trying to be able to use Postman to create maintenance windows for our instances. I'm does not very familiar with Postman and am not having any luck. I have tried to follow this but I still get 401 error when trying to run it, any help would be appreciated. I think I just have the wrong genie key or API?

Hi @Derek Stevenson ,

Listing global maintenance policies should require no more than this request:

The API key being used in my example is from a global API integration - meaning it's not assigned to any team. You should also be able to use an API key from the API key management tab.

If your Opsgenie is an EU instance, then you'll want to use the URL: https://api.eu.opsgenie.com/v1/maintenance

If that's the case, then using the US URL would probably show a 401 error.

Wow thanks that worked! like I said I'm not that savvy with postman yet, didn't realize we type the key as "Authorization" and add the geniekey xxx in value. Thanks so much!

Hello @Derek Stevenson

You should use Authorization header.
The value would be GenieKey XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is your API Key from Opsgenie.

Wait sorry I'm a little confused like this? It doesn't work either i still get the 401 error. I'm using the default Opsgenie API that comes with account, should i make a separate new one for this?

You should use something like the cURL below:

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/maintenance' \

--header 'Authorization: GenieKey XXXXX'

Where XXXXX will be your key.
