How to resolve {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."} while calling any GET or POST request via rest API while configuring flagsmith java client

[nagomirachel]

Hi @anyone,
I am trying to use curl command curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/projects/p1/features/" -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: ***" , i observe the above error.

I tried changing -H "Authorization: ****" , tried apssing environment key along with this .
How to pass API Key for my GET and POST requests to work ?

Hi @nagomirachel

Please try with the X-Environment-Key instead of X-Auth-Token. I am not completely sure about the self hosted version but this works with the cloud version.

hi fzia, I tried that as well. No luck. I have tried posting using postman and passing api key in authentciation and headers. Now i get a 500 internal server and in self hosted version logs i see set sendgrid api key details
flagsmith_1 | django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
flagsmith_1 | SENDGRID_API_KEY must be declared in settings.py

Any suggestions in this

can you paste the exact curl command that doesnt work?

[nagomirachel]

curl -X POST "https://api.flagsmith.com/api/v1/projects/p1/features/" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-CSRFToken: c9439e454a7b00139c3a4d143fc05ca9fd0d1e87" -d "{ "name": "string", "type": "string", "default_enabled": true, "initial_value": "string", "description": "string", "tags": [ 0 ], "multivariate_options": [ { "type": "int", "integer_value": 0, "string_value": "string", "boolean_value": true, "default_percentage_allocation": 0 } ], "is_archived": true, "owners": [ { "id": 2, "email": "nagomirachel@gmail.com", "first_name": "nagomi", "last_name": "rachel" } ] }"

here csrf token is the api key that i took from accounts page

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this call?

[nagomirachel]

just trying a simple post call. i.e creating a feature using curl command & restapi

You need the token from the accounts page, passed in the -H 'authorization: Token <TOKEN FROM accounts page>'

You should not post your API key into a public webpage! If you need help with this please contact us on Discord https://discord.gg/hFhxNtXzgm
