This is a worked example showing how a consumer can authenticate and use the consumer API on a v10 Reserved Instance

First you need a consumer, for example by signing up at the Developer Portal.

Log in to API Manager, and click on the Download Toolkit tile:
Then click the Download link in Step 2 for "Toolkit credentials"


which will download a credentials.json file that looks like this:

> cat credentials.json
{ 
  "cloud_id": "146fcd3e-6761-43cc-a11d-cc08478176c6",
  "toolkit": {
    "endpoint": "https://api.ef29-e2b74a2d.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/api",
    "client_id": "871ed1dc-6f80-41ab-8552-db1ba552b1b5",
    "client_secret": "REDACTED"
  },
  "consumer_toolkit": {
    "endpoint": "https://consumer.ef29-e2b74a2d.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/consumer-api",
    "client_id": "6cb156cc-ab6e-46ca-a7f0-62f6874309a4",
    "client_secret": "REDACTED"
  }
}

The lower block shows the consumer endpoint to use, and also the client_id and client_secret to use in the next step.

Then you get a bearer token, here we are using example values of:

provider org = myporg
catalog = sandbox

> curl -X POST https://consumer.ef29-e2b74a2d.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/consumer-api/token \
-d '{"username":"me@uk.ibm.com", "password":"REDACTED", "realm":"consumer:myporg:sandbox/sandbox-idp", "client_id":"client-id-value-from-earlier","client_secret":"client-secret-from-earlier","grant_type":"password"}' \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-H "Accept:application/json" \
-H "X-IBM-Consumer-Context:myporg.sandbox"
{   
    "access_token": "LONG-REDACTED-TOKEN",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": 28800
}

The value for realm key takes the format: consumer:<<provider-org>>:<<catalog>>/<<catalog>>-idp

Now you can make a call to the consumer API, for example

curl https://consumer.ef29-e2b74a2d.us-east.apiconnect.cloud.ibm.com/consumer-api/orgs -H "Authorization:Bearer LONG-REDACTED-TOKEN" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -H "X-IBM-Consumer-Context:myporg.sandbox"
