Introduction

Welcome to the TestCenter API! You can use our API to access TestCenter API endpoints, which can get information on the applications you have access to, builds uploaded, even upload new builds!

Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "https://testplatform.plusqa.com/v1/applications" --header "api-key": "your-api-key"

Make sure to replace your-api-key with your API key.

TestCenter uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can find your TestCenter API key in the accounts section.

TestCenter expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

api-key: your-api-key

Applications

Applications are to TestCenter, what folders are to file systems. It allows you to organize the builds you upload.
