Hi,
I think the information currently in the Developers guide on Postman could be clearer. I also think there should be a way on there to give feedback, like there is on the community area.
So, specifically, I had a lot of confusion setting up my typeform_personal_token. I’ve been using without problem in python scripts, but couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting authorised in Postman.
Based on the information here, I added my token into my global variables, I even followed the linked global variable guide to verify this was working. But once I added my global variable and sent a request I was getting this response:
{"code":"AUTHENTICATION_FAILED","description":"Authentication credentials not found on the Request Headers"}And I couldn’t understand what was going wrong… It turns out there was an extra step which is possibly obvious if you’re experiencd with Postman, i’m not. But I think the instructions above could be extended.
The missing piece was on the “Get hands-on” page where I saw this picture:
Once I properly configured the authorization key and value it worked.
Could this be be made clearer?
Thanks,
Oliver
