Authorization with Swagger UI

Veeam Backup & Replication REST API authorization with the Swagger UI involves the following procedures:

1. Obtain an access token and a refresh token:

1. On the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API page, expand the Login section and click POST api/oauth2/token.
2. In the expanded method window, click Try it out.
3. From the grant_type drop-down list, select password.
4. In the username and password fields, specify the credentials of a user created in Veeam Backup & Replication.
5. Click Execute.

Wait for the response from the server. A successfully completed operation returns the 200 response code. In the response body, Veeam Backup & Replication returns an access token, its expiration time and a refresh token.

6. Save the access and refresh tokens locally for further use.

2. Authorize your access in the Swagger UI:

1. At the top right corner of the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API page, click Authorize.

2. In the Available authorizations window, insert the access token saved locally in the Value field. Use the Bearer <access_token> format.
3. Click Authorize.

3. When the access token expires, use the refresh token:

1. On the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API page, expand the Login resource and click POST api/oauth2/token.
2. In the expanded method window, click Try it out.
3. From the grant_type drop-down list, select refresh_token.
4. In the refresh_token field, insert the saved refresh token and click Execute.

Wait for the response from the server. A successfully completed operation returns the 200 response code and a new pair of tokens in the response body.

7. Save the access and refresh token locally for further use. To authorize your access in the Swagger UI, repeat step 2.

4. When you finish working with the Swagger UI:

1. At the top right corner of the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API page, click Authorize.
2. In the Available authorizations window, click Logout.
