Unable to use App Tokens in REST API

[cla-azzarello]

Hi,

I generated an app token, but I cannot use it.

I use it with:
curl -v -X GET http://<my_server-Ip>api/v1/certificates -H 'Authorization: Token <MY_TOKEN>'

and also in python:

r = requests.get('http://<my_server-Ip>/api/v1/certificates?format=json',
                 headers={'Authorization': 'Token <MY_TOKEN>'})
print(r)
print(r.text)

but I always have a

<Response [401]>
{"detail":"Invalid token."}

If I use the token from my logged in browser session I have a good response.

What I'm missing?

I cannot found the API documentation.

Thanks.

Hi, you need to login to get the token. Here is the Ruby example:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'json'
require 'net/http'

uri = URI.parse('http://localhost:8080')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)

headers = { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }
data = { username: 'admin', password: 'admin' }.to_json
response = http.post('/api/v1/auth/login/', data, headers)
token = JSON.parse(response.body)['key']

headers = {
  'Authorization' => "Token #{token}",
  'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
}
response = http.get('/api/v1/certificates', headers)
pp JSON.parse(response.body)

Yes, I know I can use the username/password login to bounca.

Then what is the purpose of the function of generating an auth token?
