# HTTP API Reference
Use the following guidelines for the Grafana OnCall API.
<!--Welcome to the Grafana OnCall API reference!
| Simplified API Structure |
| ----------- |
| ![Grafana OnCall API Scheme](images/scheme.jpg) | -->
## Authentication
To authorize, use the **Authorization** header:
```shell
# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here" --header "Authorization: "api_key_here""
```
Grafana OnCall uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can request a new OnCall API key in OnCall -> Settings page.
An API key is specific to a user and a Grafana stack. If you want to switch to a different stack configuration,
request a different API key.
## Pagination
List endpoints such as List Integrations or List Alert Groups return multiple objects.
The OnCall API returns them in pages. Note that the page size may vary.
| Parameter | Meaning |
| ---------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `count` | The total number of items. It can be `0` if a request does not return any data. |
| `next` | A link to the next page. It can be `null` if the next page does not contain any data. |
| `previous` | A link to the previous page. It can be `null` if the previous page does not contain any data. |
| `results` | The data list. Can be `[]` if a request does not return any data. |
## Rate Limits
Grafana OnCall provides rate limits to ensure alert group notifications will be delivered to your Slack workspace even
when some integrations produce a large number of alerts.
### Monitoring integrations Rate Limits
Rate limited response HTTP status: 429
| Scope | Amount | Time Frame |
| ---------------------------- | :----: | :--------: |
| Alerts from each integration | 300 | 5 minutes |
| Alerts from the whole organization | 500 | 5 minutes |
## API rate limits
You can reduce or increase rate limits depending on platform status.
| Scope | Amount | Time Frame |
| ------------------------ | :----: | :--------: |
| API requests per API key | 300 | 5 minutes |
