Overview
Heroku Platform API manages apps/add-ons — token-based (it requires the versioned Accept header; missing it returns 400, verified).
Quick Start
Apps (add the version header):
curl "https://api.heroku.com/apps" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.heroku+json; version=3" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"{ "id": "missing_version", "error": "Please specify a version along with Heroku's API MIME type." }Authentication
- Heroku account → API token.
- Send it as
Authorization: Bearer+ the versioned Accept header (missing version → 400, verified).
Rate Limits & Notes
- Free tier with limits (check the docs); paid plans scale.
- Apps, add-ons, dynos.
FAQ
