I am trying to access Carbon Black via The REST API. As expected, this works in Postman:
Console Output (keys and tokens changed):

GET
https://api-prod06.conferdeploy.net/integrationServices/v3/event/
Proxy:
host:"127.0.0.1"
port:9000
match:"http+https://*/*"

user-agent:"PostmanRuntime/7.2.0"
accept:"*/*"
host:"api-prod06.conferdeploy.net"
cookie:"__cfduid=ddfebf41ad8fce5ba32a3bd7b71e891e61535000000"
accept-encoding:"gzip, deflate"

content-length:"491061"
connection:"Close"
Response Body:

It starts off OK

And then crashes out with a 401 error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I found it. In Carbon Black, the api key has its own whitelist. You have to have the Splunk server ip whitelisted in Carbon Black for the key to work.
