Cannot Access API through API Platforms

I’m trying to access the API through Postman, but I am receiving a 401 Unathorized response. I followed the API docs using httpie in a CLI and was able to get a 200 OK
response to /v1/account. I’m kind of at a loss of what would need to be changed in Postman. I even tried this using the httpie desktop app and received a 401 response. For the authorization, I’m putting the key into the value of a Key:Value pair; what should the Key be specified as? The docs made me think “api_key”, but this doesn’t work. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Update: I tried the CLI method again and now I’m being prompted to enter my account password when submitting my /v1/account request. Perhaps this is the issue?



Hi @ryanporter,

Under the “authorization” tab, you need to select “Basic Auth” as the Type of authentication protocol and then enter your API Key as the username and leave password blank. Please let me know if that doesn’t clear the issue.

That did it. Thanks!
