Hi I am trying to generate User api keys. I know I can do it from admin dashboard. But instead of there I want to generate by making REST calls. I am following this post User API keys specification I am getting error “THIS PAGE IS PRIVATE OR DOES NOT EXISTS” when I try to make a GET request to thi…

I am also looking for same solution, can anyone help in this?

Hello, to generate an api key for a user: curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:4000/admin/users/1/generate_api_key?api_key=10efbf2c9a84dfb3b6f60ffa117c029bda7fc9fb8f861ccd0dc8e8fbfa86968d&api_username=joffreyjaffeux" Learn more about it: Discourse API Docs discourse_api/lib/discourse_api/api/api_ke…

This is the endpoint sam is talking about I think: js/site_manager.js main application_name: this.deviceName, public_key: this.rsaKeys.public, }; } return this.serializeParams(para…

Thanks @j.jaffeux . I was drafting a similar message but I only had the code from the mobile app. These other code snippets are very useful. When I tried this API against my own server using Postman, I kept getting a 400 error with no details. My Ruby is a little rusty but I’ll dig into the code mor…

I just tried adding my site to the official Discourse app, and it worked so I must be doing something wrong with regard to using the API in Postman. Aside: I thought the app only worked for officially hosted Discourse sites. :man_shrugging:

I’m getting error code 400 when I visit https://community.frontrowcrew.com/user-api-key/new

Can I get some assistance on this @sam ?
