I keep getting a 401 response when I try to use authentication = ApiKeyAuthentication() in my ModelResource. I looked at Django Tastypie: How to Authenticate with API Key and he uses the get parameters to solve his issue. If I try use get parameters it picks up username but not api_key!
This works in browser
http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/spot/8/?username=darren&api_key=xxxxx
Sending via curl in terminal doesn't pickup api_key parameter
curl --dump-header - http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/spot/8/?username=darren&api_key=xxxxx
Why when using curl and appending 2 querystring parameters like ?username=darren&api_key=xxxxx
does it only pickup the first one. Is this not the correct way?
Typing &
in the command line means run the preceding command in the background (thanks @Maccesch), because of this anything after the &
is being treated as a new command.
Try wrapping the url in quotes.
curl --dump-header - "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/spot/8/?username=darren&api_key=xxxxx"
