Contrast TeamServer API Credentials

To access the TeamServer API, you'll first need access to Contrast - either https://app.contrastsecurity.com/Contrast/login.html or an on-premises installation of TeamServer.

To begin using the Contrast API you will need to retrieve your API-Key from the server. To do this, you will need to log in to your Contrast account and have the application e-mail you a generated API-Key.

1. Log in to Contrast
2. Click the down arrow next to your login name in the page header
3. Select "Your Account"
4. Your credentials are listed under YOUR KEYS

The SDK requires the account username, service key, API key and Contrast URL.
