Having trouble authenticating my requests using Postman

Hello! I’m wondering if anyone has any experience using Postman to run HTTP requests to the Gong API. I’m trying to manually authenticate my connection and I can’t seem to generate the API token correctly for it to do a simple GET on my entire user table.

I would love if someone could point me in the right direction. I’ve followed the API documentation perfectly but I think I’m missing something with putting the authenticator token in the header of my request. 


Thanks!

Hi @Mat Rodriguez 

 

I use Postman all the time to demonstrate how our APIs work. Are you able to generate the API access key and access key secret here:

 

 

And then I use Basic Authentication in Postman to run each API call:

 

Are you able to do this?

 

 

Thanks,

@Rohan Vaidya Thanks for this. I kept trying to put the access & secret in the header manually. I followed your screenshot exactly and returned a result on the user table.

 

I’m getting ready to import a large amount of calls pretty soon and wanted to make sure I understood how to interact with the Gong API before attempting the import.

Ok glad it worked @Mat Rodriguez! Let me know if you get any other API errors while doing your import. Cheers!
