With Copado Essentials we have now built an API Token generator allowing for 3rd party application calls. Note: at this time, we only support calls configured for CI Jobs with either POST or GET methods.
​
Contact Copado Essentials Support to have the API Token generator feature activated for your instance of Essentials.
​
Once this feature is turned on, it can be accessed from "Account Settings" under the Integration drop down where you will see "API Token"

API Token will allow you to generate a unique token for use with your callout:

When creating a new CI Job you will see an option for "Rest API" and to Enable:

Click on "Setup API" (see example in the image above). This will open your developer setup guide. From the guide, you can review your two supported methods, the POST and GET requests. From the URL you will see that the GET request will return the CI Jobs "Status" and the POST request will "trigger" the job to run.

​
If you would like to experiment with this feature you can use Postman. Click here for details.
