Authentication & Security 2

Mist Sites EVPN Topologies API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the header as Authorization (apiToken). An API key is passed in the header as X-CSRFToken (csrfToken). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • apiToken — Preferred authentication method for automation and integrations. Send the API token in the HTTP Authorization header. Format: Authorization: Token {apitoken} N…
  • csrfToken — Session-based authentication for browser or login/password flows. After a successful [Login](/operations/login) request, Mist returns a csrftoken cookie. Send…

Paths & Operations 5

Across 2 paths, the API surfaces 5 operations — 1 DELETE, 2 GET, 1 POST, 1 PUT. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Mist Sites EVPN Topologies API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
