Argus Web

This short screencast demonstrates how to login and logout of Argus using the web interface.

Argus SDK

This simple example instantiates an instance of the Argus service and performs a login and logout.

int maxConnections = 10;
ArgusService service = ArgusService.getInstance(
                                        "https://argus.mycompany.com/argusws", 
                                        maxConnections);

public void argusLogin(ArgusService service) {
    try {
    	service.getAuthService().login("username", "password");
    } catch(IOException e) {
    	e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Curl

This simple example uses curl to perform a login directly against the web services. It stores the obtained tokens in the tokens.out file. Once authenticated, subsequent calls should send the accessToken obtained via the login method as part of the Authorization header.

#!/bin/bash

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"username":"aUsername","password":"aPassword"}' \
     https://argus.mycompany.com/argusws/v2/auth/login \
     -o tokens.out

# perform some other service operations */
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <accessToken from tokens.out>" \
     -X ....
