The Duo API Playground is a centralized Postman workspace for managing and interacting with Duo accounts through the power of the Duo API. It is equipped with a variety of ready-to-use API requests and collections to help streamline a range of Duo tasks, such as account creation, application management, data retrieval, policy creation, log retrieval, and more. You don't need to be an expert in Duo or APIs to make the most of this workspace. However, a basic understanding of Duo concepts is beneficial. If you encounter any uncertainties or wish to deepen your knowledge about specific API requests, parameters, rate limiting, etc., the Duo API documentation is your best resource. The aim is to furnish Cisco Duo customers and partners with tools and resourcess to help enhance their Duo operations, and scale and expand their Duo usage.

• Admin API
• Accounts API
• Accounts API with Admin API
• Auth API

This workspace is organized into different collections tailored for specific use cases:

• Duo Accounts API: Enables multi-tenant Duo customers to programmatically create, delete, and manage individual Duo customer accounts. New Duo accounts created using the Accounts API are subaccounts of the account where the Accounts API application exists, creating a "parent" and "child" account relationship.
• Duo Accounts API with Admin API: Enables multi-tenant Duo customers to interact with child accout objects via the Accounts API. You'll be able to fetch data from a number of Duo endpoints, e.g. Users, Groups, Integrations, Policies, Authentication Logs and more.
• Duo Admin API [Parent]: Facilitates interaction with the parent accont via the Admin API.
• Duo Admin API [Child]: Faciliates interaction with a specific Duo child account via the Admin API.
• Duo Auth API [Child]: Faciliates interaction with a specific Duo child account via the Auth API.
• Duo Onboarding: Contains a variety of requests to help streamline, operationalize and automate onboarding new Duo client accounts.
• Duo Administrative Tasks: Consists of various request combinations for tasks such as retrieving bypassed users across child accounts, assigning policies en masse, or pulling a Duo usage cost report.

NOTE: Each collection has unique configuration and parameter requirements. For detailed guidance on setup and usage, please consult the relevant collection specific documentation.
