Streampipes Backend API via Postman - authorization issue

[mihau1211]

Hi, I'm facing an issue accessing Streampipes backend API via Postman.

I tried to access the /streampipes-backend/api/v4/datalake/measurements endpoint but whenever I used the API Token generated by Streampipes -> Profile -> API, the response was 401.

I'm using the GET method and Bearer token as an authorization method. This is what my request headers look like:

Here is the response:

Also, the reason that I want to have access to endpoints is that I want to create a custom dashboard outside the streampipes using data processed by streampipes and stored in data lakes. Is it even possible to achieve?

Hi @mihau1211 when using the profile token, you can provide the token with the HTTP headers X-API-USER (your login email) and X-API-KEY (the token generated in the profile view).

Please let me know if this doesn't work!

I have been testing the go client recently and have also found this issue, but I added a request header and still encountered a 401 error.I used the API testing module provided in streampipes ui, but it also showed a 401 error. which may be that I did not use the module correctly.

Try to use email assigned to user instead of username and it should works
