  description: "Main OverOps API.\nThe REST API layer enables OverOps admins and users to perform and automate all actions\nprovided by the OverOps UI available at https://app.overops.com (or On-premises equivalent URL) via a platform independent programmatic interface.\nA wrapper Java client API library that leverages these APIs for convenience by\nJava and Scala developers is available at https://github.com/takipi/api-client and on Maven Central.\n\nAll calls must be authenticated using one of the following methods:\n  1. Using `x-api-key` header (To generate the token, go to `Settings` --> `Account Settings` in the OverOps App). This is the recommended method.\n  2. Using Basic auth with `username:password` combo.\n"
