Hi Community,

I am having trouble connecting the API key using the GET request in PostMan (API Link is https://api.cloudability.com/v3/). I followed the instruction in API Documentation in the forum but keeping getting the 401 error. Any advice on how to resolve this?

Try with
  • Type: "Basic Auth"
  • Username: your_api_key
  • Password: empty

Here's mine for example:

@Maxime Audet,
Thank you for your response. I was using the Frontdoor API Key instead of Cloudability Key ;). I tried it with the Cloudability API Key and able to connect.​

Hey Nick, 

I believe you can call  Frontdoor endpoint ’/service/apikeylogin` which should return an apptio-opentoken . Then you can parse the ‘apptio-opentoken’ (which is generated by sending keyAccess and keySecret) in the headers with application/json.  The token value is supposed to be passed using "apptio-opentoken".
