Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

All requests to the Cortex API need to provide an Authorization: Bearer <token> header, where <token> is an API key created in the Settings page of your workspace.

Path Parameters

tagOrId
string
required

The tag (x-cortex-tag) or unique, auto-generated identifier (CID) for the entity. If the tag contains forward slashes, URL-encode each / as %2F. The tag is matched exactly as encoded, including leading, trailing, and consecutive slashes, which are preserved and not collapsed (for example, the tag /services/payments-api is referenced as %2Fservices%2Fpayments-api). Tags containing slashes are supported via the API but not in the Cortex UI; this difference is expected. Entity identifier - can be a tag or CID

Response
