Use the Dynatrace API to automate your monitoring tasks and export different types of data into your third-party reporting and analysis tools. API communication ensures safety by using secured communication via the HTTPS protocol.

API Explorer

You can access all Dynatrace API endpoints using the API Explorer.

Select Settings in the navigation menu.
Go to Integration > Dynatrace API.
Click the Dynatrace API Explorer link at the top of the page.

Alternatively you can access the API via direct link:

Managed https://{your-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/rest-api-doc/index.jsp
SaaS https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api-doc/index.jsp

Authentication in the API Explorer

For every API endpoint, click the lock icon to show a dialog with information about the API tokens that secure the endpoint. Each endpoint demands a specific type of token.

You can also unlock all the endpoints, by clicking the global Authorize button. In the dialog, you can see which token permissions are necessary for all API endpoints. By entering your API token into the global Available authorizations dialog, you unlock all related API endpoints.

Try out an API call

Once you've entered your API token, you can directly execute API calls within the API explorer. A click on the Try it out button opens the parameter section of the selected API endpoint, where you can enter additional parameters and modify the request payload before executing it by clicking the Execute button.

Preview and Early Adopter Releases for API releases

Some API requests are available as Early Adopter Release features or as part of a Preview. These requests are identified with "Early adopter" and "Preview" labels on corresponding pages in Dynatrace Help and in the API explorer (see examples below).

Early Adopter Release

Early Adopter Release requests are available on an opt-in basis. They aren't feature complete, but they are publicly available, fully supported, production-ready, and available as a user opt-in.

Non-compatible changes are unlikely to be introduced in Early Adopter Release API requests, however we can't guarantee full backward compatibility of the GA version with the Early Adopter Release.

Early Adopter Release requests have this mark in the API explorer:

Preview

A Preview provides you with access to new features so that we can hear your feedback and ultimately deliver features that exactly meet your needs. Preview requests aren't meant to be used in production environments.

Preview requests aren't publicly available—you need to sign up for the respective Preview. See the Preview and Early Adopter releases to learn more about conditions and how to sign up.
