Using the API to set up Universal Broker

All flows available in the snyk-broker-config CLI tool are built on top of the public REST API. The workflows in the CLI tool implement particular flows to provide for ease of setup and use. The same workflows can be accomplished using the API, allowing for automation.

The snyk-broker-config tool provides non-workflow commands to simplify the automation of particular tasks through simple bash scripting, avoiding the use of a more complicated API-only path.

See the Universal Broker APIs in the API Reference for more details. An example is provided: Using the API to set up a GitHub connection.

The workflow diagrams illustrate the main workflows in setting up Universal Broker.

When you change an environment variable, you must restart your Broker.
