Accessing the Intersight API

[richardbrown1983]

This is probably a really stupid question but i am struggling to fundamentally authenticate with the API let alone get any results. I have watched videos and read docs and nothing i can see details how to access my specific environment, i have my account id and i have generate a new API key but none of the GET examples show where to specify this..?

I am initially using Postman to try and see what the output looks like and then will use powershell to monitor the support/warranty status of our HW..

Any help and examples would be greatly appreciated..!
