Making a GET Request - NCM-APIv2-Overview/Making-a-GET-Request

A REST client or script can use API keys to make HTTP requests that get useful information from NetCloud Manager. This example uses Postman to demonstrate a request to the net_device_metrics endpoint.

Open Postman, and then select the New button to create a request.
Make sure GET is selected and then type in the following URL (callout 1). This step and the following steps are displayed in the screenshot in step 4.
```
https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/net_device_metrics/
```
Select the Headers tab underneath the URL and then type in your keys (callout 2). The KEY value is the name of the key, and the VALUE will be the key's text. Add all four of your keys.
Select the Send button. The results of your request display in the response frame (callout 3).

For more information on available API endpoints and information about your account, log in to the API portal using the API Portal link on the Tools page in NetCloud Manager.
