Anydesk Authentication

Authentication

The AnyDesk my.anydesk I REST API authenticates with a License ID and an API Password supplied in an authentication request header. Credentials are issued by AnyDesk support against a customer number (On-Premises licenses generate them via the console REST-API command). No OpenAPI is published, so this profile is captured from the documentation rather than derived from a spec.

AnyDesk secures its APIs with apiKey across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.
