Please contact us if you would like access to this API.

Overview

The Admin API lets developers integrate with Duo Security’s platform at a low level. The API has methods for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting the core objects in Duo’s system: users, phones, hardware tokens, admins, and integrations.

In addition, developers can write applications that programmatically read their Duo account’s authentication logs, administrator logs, and telephony logs; read or update account settings; and retrieve reports and other information.

Review the API Details to see how to construct your first API request.

This API is available to Duo Beyond, Duo Access, and Duo MFA plan customers.

Documented properties will not be removed within a stable version of the API. Once a given API endpoint is documented to return a given property, a property with that name will always appear (although certain properties may only appear under certain conditions, like if the customer is using a specific edition).

Properties that enumerate choices may gain new values at any time, e.g. the device “`platform“` value could return new device platforms that did not previously exist. Duo will update our API documentation with new values in a timely fashion.

New, undocumented properties may also appear at any time. For instance, Duo may make available a beta feature involving extra information returned by an API endpoint. Until the property is documented here its format may change or it may even be entirely removed from our API.

Please note that all Unix timestamps are in seconds.

First Steps

1. Sign up for a Duo account.
2. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.
3. Click Protect an Application and locate Admin API in the applications list. Click Protect this Application to get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname. (See Getting Started for help.) Note that only administrators with the Owner role can create or modify an Admin API application in the Duo Admin Panel.

Duo Security has demonstration clients available on Github to call the Duo API methods. Examples are available in: Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and Perl.

username	The full name of the administrator who performed the action in the Duo Admin Panel. If the action was performed with the API this will be “API”. Automatic actions like deletion of inactive users have “System” for the username. Changes synchronized from Active Directory will have a username of the form “AD Sync: name of directory.”
action	The type of change that was performed. Possible values: Type Description “ad_sync_begin” AD Sync started “ad_sync_config_download” AD Sync configuration download “ad_sync_finish” AD Sync completed “admin_create” Added administrator “admin_delete” Deleted administrator “admin_login” Logged in “admin_update” Modified administrator “azure_directory_create” Azure Directory created “azure_directory_update” Azure Directory modified “azure_directory_delete” Azure Directory deleted “azure_sync_begin” Azure Sync started “azure_sync_finish” Azure Sync completed “azure_sync_fail” Azure Sync failed “bypass_create” Bypass code created “bypass_delete” Bypass code deleted “create_child_customer” Created child customer “credits_update” Added telephony credits “customer_update” Modified settings “delete_child_customer” Deleted child customer “directory_create” Added directory “directory_delete” Deleted directory “directory_groups_update” Modified directory groups “directory_update” Modified directory “edition_update” Update edition “feature_add” Added feature “feature_delete” Deleted feature “group_create” Added group “group_delete” Deleted group “group_update” Updated group “hardtoken_create” Created hardware tokens “hardtoken_delete” Deleted hardware token “hardtoken_resync” Resynchronized hardware token “hardtoken_update” Modified hardware token “integration_create” Added application “integration_delete” Deleted application “integration_group_policy_add” Add application group policy “integration_group_policy_remove” Remove application group policy “integration_policy_assign” Assign application policy “integration_policy_unassign” Unassign application policy “integration_skey_view” Viewed secret key “integration_update” Modified application “phone_associate” Associated phone “phone_create” Added phone “phone_delete” Deleted phone “phone_disassociate” Disassociated phone “phone_update” Modified phone “policy_create” Added policy “policy_delete” Deleted policy “policy_update” Modified policy “resend_enroll_codes” Resend all enroll codes “send_enroll_code” Send an enroll code “u2ftoken_create” Created U2F token “u2ftoken_delete” Deleted U2F token “user_bulk_activate” Bulk mobile activation sent “user_bulk_enroll” Bulk enrollment “user_create” Added user “user_delete” Deleted user “user_import” Imported users “user_pending_delete” Marked user for deletion “user_restore” Restored deleted user “user_update” Modified user
object	The object that was acted on. For example: “jsmith” (for users), “(555) 713-6275 x456” (for phones), or “HOTP 8-digit 123456” (for tokens).
description	String detailing what changed, either as free-form text or serialized JSON. When the description contains JSON it may be either a serialized object or a serialized array of objects. Each key in the object(s) corresponds to a property that was changed. This JSON is intended only to summarize the change, not to be de-serialized. The example below is for a “user_update” action. The object that changed was a user whose Duo username is “jsmith”. The change saved new values for the user’s “notes” and “realname” fields, overwriting the previous values if any were set. They correspond to the similarly named fields in the Modify User call in the Admin API and the User Details page in the Admin Panel.

API Details

Base URL

All API methods use your API hostname, https://api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com.

Methods always use HTTPS. Unsecured HTTP is not supported.

Request Format

All requests must have “Authorization” and “Date” headers.

If the request method is GET or DELETE, URL-encode parameters and send them in the URL query string like this: /admin/v1/users?realname=First%20Last&username=root. They still go on a separate line when creating the string to sign for an Authorization header.

Send parameters for POST requests in the body as URL-encoded key-value pairs (the same request format used by browsers to submit form data). The header “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded” must also be present.

When URL-encoding, all bytes except ASCII letters, digits, underscore (“_”), period (“.”), tilde (“~”), and hyphen (“-“) are replaced by a percent sign (“%”) followed by two hexadecimal digits containing the value of the byte. For example, a space is replaced with “%20” and an at-sign (“@”) becomes “%40”. Use only upper-case A through F for hexadecimal digits.

Response Format

Responses are formatted as a JSON object with a top-level stat key.

Successful responses will have a stat value of “OK” and a response key. The response will either be a single object or a sequence of other JSON types, depending on which endpoint is called.

{
  "stat": "OK",
  "response": {
    "key": "value"
  }
}

Values are returned as strings unless otherwise documented.

Unsuccessful responses will have a stat value of “FAIL”, an integer code, and a message key that further describes the failure. A message_detail key may be present if additional information is available (like the specific parameter that caused the error).

{
  "stat": "FAIL",
  "code": 40002,
  "message": "Invalid request parameters",
  "message_detail": "username"
}

The HTTP response code will be the first three digits of the more specific code found inside the JSON object. Each endpoint’s documentation lists HTTP response codes it can return. Additionally, all API endpoints that require a signed request can return the following HTTP response codes:

Response	Meaning
200	The request completed successfully.
401	The “Authorization”, “Date”, and/or “Content-Type” headers were missing or invalid.
403	This integration is not authorized for this endpoint or the ikey was created for a different integration type (for example, using an Auth API ikey with Admin API endpoints).
405	The request’s HTTP verb is not valid for this endpoint (for example, POST when only GET is supported).
429	The account has made too many requests of this type recently. Try again later.

Authentication

The API uses HTTP Basic Authentication to authenticate requests. Use your Duo application’s integration key as the HTTP Username.

Generate the HTTP Password as an HMAC signature of the request. This will be different for each request and must be re-generated each time.

To construct the signature, first build an ASCII string from your request, using the following components:

Component	Description	Example
date	The current time, formatted as RFC 2822. This must be the same string as the “Date” header.	Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
method	The HTTP method (uppercase)	POST
host	Your API hostname (lowercase)	api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
path	The specific API method’s path	/admin/v1/users
params	The URL-encoded list of key=value pairs, lexicographically sorted by key. These come from the request parameters (the URL query string for GET and DELETE requests or the request body for POST requests). If the request does not have any parameters one must still include a blank line in the string that is signed. Do not encode unreserved characters. Use upper-case hexadecimal digits A through F in escape sequences.	realname=First%20Last&username=root

Then concatenate these components with (line feed) newlines. For example:

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
POST
api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
/admin/v1/users
realname=First%20Last&username=root

GET requests also use this five-line format:

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
GET
api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
/admin/v1/users
username=root

Lastly, compute the HMAC-SHA1 of this canonical representation, using your Duo application’s secret key as the HMAC key. Send this signature as hexadecimal ASCII (i.e. not raw binary data). Use HTTP Basic Authentication for the request, using your integration key as the username and the HMAC-SHA1 signature as the password.

For example, here are the headers for the above POST request to api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com/admin/v1/users, using DIWJ8X6AEYOR5OMC6TQ1 as the integration key and Zh5eGmUq9zpfQnyUIu5OL9iWoMMv5ZNmk3zLJ4Ep as the secret key:

Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
Authorization: Basic RElXSjhYNkFFWU9SNU9NQzZUUTE6MmQ5N2Q2MTY2MzE5NzgxYjVhM2EwN2FmMzlkMzY2ZjQ5MTIzNGVkYw==
Host: api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com
Content-Length: 35
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Separate HTTP request header lines CRLF newlines.

The following Python function can be used to construct the “Authorization” and “Date” headers:

import base64, email, hmac, hashlib, urllib

def sign(method, host, path, params, skey, ikey):
    """
    Return HTTP Basic Authentication ("Authorization" and "Date") headers.
    method, host, path: strings from request
    params: dict of request parameters
    skey: secret key
    ikey: integration key
    """

    # create canonical string
    now = email.Utils.formatdate()
    canon = [now, method.upper(), host.lower(), path]
    args = []
    for key in sorted(params.keys()):
        val = params[key]
        if isinstance(val, unicode):
            val = val.encode("utf-8")
        args.append(
            '%s=%s' % (urllib.quote(key, '~'), urllib.quote(val, '~')))
    canon.append('&'.join(args))
    canon = '\n'.join(canon)

    # sign canonical string
    sig = hmac.new(skey, canon, hashlib.sha1)
    auth = '%s:%s' % (ikey, sig.hexdigest())

    # return headers
    return {'Date': now, 'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode(auth)}
