Mend API (3.0)

Mend's enhanced API enables automation of workflows in a REST compliant format. The API features:

  • Access for any user with Mend credentials, via a user key available in the user's profile page in the Mend Platform.
  • Improved security with a JWT token per organization, which expires every 30 minutes.
  • Added scalability with support for cursor pagination and limiting results size.
  • Broader functionality available programmatically.
  • New standard API documentation for easy navigation and search.

If you have a dedicated instance of Mend, contact your Mend representative to access this API on your instance.

Note: To help you get started with the Mend API 3.0, we recommend reviewing our onboarding guide -> Getting Started with API 3.0. This resource covers initial setup, authentication instructions, and helpful tips to help you successfully begin working with the Mend API 3.0.
