REST API - Index.html

Mchoeti

Hi everybody!

I have a simple question. I am trying to start some test REST calls with our new Content Server

Calling the Directory service results in a success
GET : http://server.name.com:8080/otdsws/api/index.html?rest

Also a Test Call is working
GET http://server.name.com:8080/otdsws/rest/accessroles

But calling the REST API for the Content Server is a challenge and give me an authentification error.
GET http://server.name.com:8080/OTCS/cs.exe/api/index.html?rest
or
GET https://server.name.com/OTCS/cs.exe/api/v1/index.html?rest
or
GET https://server.name.com/OTCS/cs.exe/api/v1/apiinfo

Is it neccesarry for the CS Admin to enable the RESt API? Or does my user needs a special permission right ?
Ideas are welcome :-)

Cheers Christian****

Hi Christian,

As the error states, you need an authentication token to be passed in with each REST API call.

This can be retrieved using api/v1/auth and providing your username and password in the body's form-data.

The resulting token is then provided in subsequent requests in a header called otcsticket.

Take a look at the following area on MySupport for more information:
