Using Swagger API

[Sundarapandian_]

Hi,

Could someone please help accessing swagger controller APIs?

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Access+Swagger+and+Accounts+API

I'm just trying  to follow the above mentioned URL... logged in to the controller with a local user name, tried to access REST API via browser as stated in the doc, however it does not allow me to  use 'GET' , it pops up another authentication window and fails with response code 500 (see attached), if i use the same username, password that i used to access controller UI

However, if i use the same account credentails in a 'CURL' command via CLI, i can execute the command successfully . Wondering how swagger API authentication different.

Please advise

Thanks!

 Hi Sundarapandian,

Form the attached screenshot we noticed following message "The user is not authorised to access account:81". Could you try to get the your user account id through GET (/accounts/myaccount) refer the attached screenshot and then use the account id returned to get applications (/accounts/{accId}/applications).

Hi Pratik,

Thanks for you response, you are correct!, the account id that i see from /account/myaccount is different, i tried with that id and i could GET /accounts/{accId}/applications, however when i tried /accounts/accountinfo it failed with response code 403 (see attached). Any reason?

Regards,

Hi Sundarapandian,

The API "/accounts/accountinfo" is for only for system account. We need to login as root@system with the root user password.Do refer the attached screen for your referance.
