Issues testing APIs using Postman/Powershell
Posted: 01 Apr 2021, 04:06
Hi,
Now I don't know if this is a bug, or just me being uneducated in modern API tooling...
I was trying to test the login API to get the bearer token in Postman and I kept getting a GET Method not supported. Googling implied likely a URL (domain) or auth issue.
I switched to Powershell using the example code from the api documentation website, and then i could see i was actually getting Invalid Credentials responses.
They were correct.
However, my test login had a password of:
Q!W@E#R$T%
When changing this to something with just upper/lower/numbers (no special charters), both postrman and powershell started working as expected...
