anaplan api 401 Not Authorized using Postman

[stephen.hoffer]

Using Postman: 

I can use Post and get an authorization token, but when I create the Get with Authorization = AnaplanAuthToken <token from Post>

Content-type=application/json

Basic Authentication

and workspace ID and Model Id in URL

https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/workspaces/<workspace id>/models/<model id>

I get:

{
"status": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Not Authorized."
}
}

Any ideas?

Hi @stephen.hoffer,

The endpoint you used isn't valid for the 2.0 API, fetching model data is now under https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/users/<workspaceId>/models/<modelId>

For further details, please check our 2.0 API guide.

I just retooled the URL as per your post and the same result.

Hi @stephen.hoffer,

Apologies for the mixup on my part, after /users/ it should be your user ID, not workspace. You can obtain this by sending a GET request to https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/users/me

Once you have your ID, the URL for model details is

https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/users/<user ID>/models/<model ID>

Interestingly enough, I still cannot get anything my code 401.

I can still Post https://auth.anaplan.com/token/authenticate with password and Basic Authentication and get SUCCESS.

But any get still gives 401.

I have admin to Anaplan proper and can get into any of my models, so that is absolutely not an issue.

It seems odd that I can authenticate via Post and get the Token, but cannot get beyond that point.

Posting a GET to https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/workspaces/{ID}/models/{ID}/exports

is working fine for me. I'll try it without the /exports later if I get time.

For a GET your headers should be

• Accept = application/json
• Authorization AnaplanAuthToken {token}

There should only be a Content-Type header on POST – not sure if that's making a difference.

I take it you're getting a fresh token often enough too? Though I think the message is specific about expired tokens.

Could you share a screenshot of your request, including the full Authentication header, to help troubleshoot? 

[stephen.hoffer]

The Auth Token was copied from the authentication POST and the Get was run right afterward

Looks like you're passing the token as a parameter instead of a header.

I've attached a screenshot of mine for example.
