Postman authorization for v1

Hi All,

 

Need your help.

I worked with API before, but never had such an issue with authorization.

I'm having the following error: 401 Authorization required

My actions:

Forked the 1.47 collection to my Postman.

Generated API key for organization.

Checked that API Access enabled for the Org.

Postman:

Keep the collection Authorization details intact.

Created "apiKey" variable in the environment.

Trying to run "getOrganizations" and it fails with the error.

 

I've checked the info here:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/authorization/#authorization

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/meraki-postman-collection-getting-started/collection-settin...

 

Could anybody reveal the screenshot of the working postman Authorization please.

 

Kind regards,

Ritor

Thank you.

Did the same - still error 401.

API key definitely correct.

No headers except default in the collection API call.

Any chance when you copy and pasted the API key there is a leading or trailing space, or the first or last character dropped?

Have you definitely got the correct organization/network name for whatever you are testing?  They are case-sensitive.

Found it.

Bloody web proxy. I forgot it is using auth before sending traffic to the internet.

Should've looked closely to the server reply first.
