Restful API - License limitations?

Post by dan.kennedy »

I'm trying to pull some info from RestAPI but keep getting "Authorization has been denied for this request."

Would this be caused by a license limitation of any sort? I'm running this against a test VBO365 server i spun up and have tried it with an evaluation license and also an NFR but get the same "authorization denied" response no matter what i try!

I can get to the SwaggerUI and generate a token with the same credentials and it works fine, but it seems like I can't query any of the other operations for some reason?

Looks like u requested a token and didn't authenticate with the token (in the Swagger UI you can do this on top of the screen). As a result, you get access denied since you aren't correctly authenticated. Requesting the token is not the same as the actual authentication process. This is also described in the user guide.

I didn't realise you need to click "explore" again after generating the token - Thanks!
(Still doesn't work from my bash script but it at least proves RestAPI is working OK on my test box)

Hi dan.kennedy,

First, you need to call the Auth API, to get the authorization token (Ok, it seems that you know that):

POST: https://<your_vbo_server_ip>:4443/v5/Token

in the body, you should send the user and password for authentication (send it in raw / Text):

grant_type=password&username=your_user&password=your_pass

Executing that, you should receive something like:

Code: Select all

{
    "access_token": "AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE_Cl-sBAAAAaRAn9waDe0iSxJcO1wHcdgAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAAD15akPneB-AmdZk80oqI71NRBO7XNT0Ox_IjxkOUlGfAAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAADSOOJk4XhCsvCYjhkC-4X1_cmE2OV_kyT2q6sU6IuAb7AAAAA8Dx73ZOrk3TfjZo-WV2dolTsHZmbNqepNtPtg9ayMn__Lv0LWjmFlsgZ64_-D3i2oAmczx00dw1RW6LtL5MF9xacGiMIeC-ArrfgKFnarnJg28JkxvxTTV0ozCStoRbtMuUTSrxrv1OsiHSrIlHWYtn4SHS8i9YHf_O22_xAOrO4MwxCLeuY5he7OHRd4Y9FHxz1N8qjyOcmQCXe2hqw0obShSK0P2pGqsH8y3w5jNUAAAACUDpPhTZufd3c3LjethRKgNK03v8hxO-zozZC5DtgDwkeQU6mrnU5pT9cNynEOJyDi13Q_CdI7KB8rrnKwAd4p",
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "expires_in": 3599,
    "refresh_token": "AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE_Cl-sBAAAAaRAn9waDe0iSxJcO1wHcdgAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAABVSN5thSv5ezByXsMOHUBgcr9Bd4uoZ1uw5QorphtIuQAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAADd9-YqExkpIRE43GDNvMtT__xduVA-r4mlMeXwzwa_9dAAAABcLmmlKYJmZnWQnKyHXN4yVb194HEXaSPMllS-BHRIZ0ia9D_kaeump7-0Y3zRqsLtlIvmk0upvISFSzNBs68OuOIqqUXXsaiwCH7oguPQdSAysq1OZ21mLJc0JjdpUXkrFEKyFZnI0PxMBOg86eD8JakQldECailNLX5gzSo6kdSmaXshdjEMDQa1P5N8kYCbVUmMIUFegLvPJd6GZmT5bAQlSeybYh9hYrKsA-LCRj6iZmUTURrhoHMPTs4BWyH_OBYZ6MeUO1hJNl_YXY6lQAAAAAZja_eSFmMewssTSwn4-ItekN-II9xXPJvJBWEN0pOTcT-4k0dFa5jxnntp95DiWUp5JcAtXwAZrZdoqooQCFY",
    ".issued": "Wed, 01 Sep 2021 19:12:41 GMT",
    ".expires": "Wed, 01 Sep 2021 20:12:41 GMT"
}

This access_token, you must send it in the next API call you want.

like for instance, if you want to know the proxies you have available:

GET https://<your_vbo_ip>:4443/v5/Proxies

Header:
Authorization: Bearer AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE_Cl-sBAAAAaRAn9waDe0iSxJcO1wHcdgAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAAD15akPneB-AmdZk80oqI71NRBO7XNT0Ox_IjxkOUlGfAAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAADSOOJk4XhCsvCYjhkC-4X1_cmE2OV_kyT2q6sU6IuAb7AAAAA8Dx73ZOrk3TfjZo-WV2dolTsHZmbNqepNtPtg9ayMn__Lv0LWjmFlsgZ64_-D3i2oAmczx00dw1RW6LtL5MF9xacGiMIeC-ArrfgKFnarnJg28JkxvxTTV0ozCStoRbtMuUTSrxrv1OsiHSrIlHWYtn4SHS8i9YHf_O22_xAOrO4MwxCLeuY5he7OHRd4Y9FHxz1N8qjyOcmQCXe2hqw0obShSK0P2pGqsH8y3w5jNUAAAACUDpPhTZufd3c3LjethRKgNK03v8hxO-zozZC5DtgDwkeQU6mrnU5pT9cNynEOJyDi13Q_CdI7KB8rrnKwAd4p

This token will work for 1 hour only, after that you need to refresh it (see https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=50).

If you prefer the curl commands:

Token:

Code: Select all

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d 'grant_type=password&username=your_user&password=your_pass' 'https://<your_vbo_ip>:4443/v5/token'

Proxy:

Code: Select all

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE_Cl-sBAAAAaRAn9waDe0iSxJcO1wHcdgAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAAB_IaDRZkiMoaDYpE1J9GEHRoppKWxxXnFCAPjStJu0wQAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAADqDY_U_GWuOOenupKaP_GafpUo5q0OqytfGy2c3tGULLAAAACIDGffI7gQ8MF6dL_RY6y4fjyX0QW5Vsor1l60rW60yYviKvizHYnSj-u7JdyaY6LmSWTigjt8c8SS9LW5DF2daCjjvRMSW4L5P8A0PYqsA3wSItQnCKt4CMI302Z4FULeKyCtb2PCWvAushhoMZ-iA34P7TqYOkLypLb_HTxl9i2z9931xW6oeJXVOrcQKe5jnxTY532F-XGa9z8cJjavZrOex58ApD6AbElL9obxdEAAAABm7_dZTO3uTLZG585_psfXE2WBcdE7wmWOzOGeuBkXO7v15IZARWR7MU5cegBtRGQ6CoUqXCplK6Ar9g6A1H3P' 'https://<your_vbo_IP>:4443/v5/Proxies'

That means you didn't request a token and authenticated against the API with that token. Please read up on the previous posts on this topic on how to utilize the API or have a look at this blog post.
