API – IP Whitelisting Customization

Administrators can increase the security of external APIs for each site (subdomain) by whitelisting single IP addresses or IP address ranges. External API requests that come from an IP that isn’t on the whitelist will receive an Authorization has been denied for this request error message.

           

TIP

When no IP ranges are enabled, all IPs can access external APIs. Once one or more IP ranges are enabled, access to external APIs is restricted to those whitelisted IP addresses.
