API auth endpoint not working?

[andreasotto]

In current development build the API endpoint /api/1/auth/request-token seems not to work (404 "Sorry, this page isn't available"). How to get an auth token?

Update: It's working from a curl request with credentials (but not from a browser request while logged in)

Additionally the .svg image from the html content in the page above is missing (broken link).

Hey @andreasotto, the /api/1/auth/request-token is a POST endpoint. What are you trying to do? because when you are logged in, you can use the API as expected without any authorization required.

Additionally the .svg image from the html content in the page above is missing (broken link).

Are you requesting directly from your browser? the file exists on the repo. I'm going to take a look at it.

[andreasotto]

Yes, the image is missing in the web page when the API is accessed with a
Browser. There is only a broken image sign and inspecting the object shows
a 404 for that file.

Weird, can you confirm that you have that the file exists on your filesystem? and can you show me the 404 not found requests?

[andreasotto]

Well, the file is actually there in the assets/img dir - but the installation path (subdirectory in the hosts root folder) is missing in the file's URL in the resulting webpage.

Showing the image probably will work only if directus was installed at root level, and the file will be broken if not installed at root level.

[wellingguzman]

@andreasotto understood, it makes sense.

Also were you able to use the request token api endpoint correctly?

[andreasotto]

Yes, the request token request works. From the documentation first it wasn't clear to me, that it has to be a POST request. I thought when logged in (active session) it would be possible to request the token with a GET request too.

[wellingguzman]

No, it's not possible, when logged in, you can go to you user page and get it from there.

I will close the ticket as the broken link was fixed and I will add a note in the documentation about the POST request.
