Get the Account UUID

When ordering a service through the API, you will be asked to supply an account ID. This account ID is tied to the billing account that should be used for the order.

You can find this ID via the portal by navigating to Billing > Billing Accounts.

To find this information via the API, use the following call: https://api.packetfabric.com/v2/contacts?billing=true

This API call must be authorized. For information on how to authorize calls and use the following tools, see the following:

• Using Postman with the PacketFabric API
• Using cURL with the PacketFabric API
• Using Python Requests with the PacketFabric API
