I have written API calls according to Grafana's documentation (https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/dashboard/#gets-the-home-dashboard) but I always end up with a response of 401. For example, just to get a basic GET response for testing with the path /api/dashboards/home, I have done the following:
On the Grafana settings, I have added an api key and set it to admin. I have tried calling the api using curl, Insomnia (like Postman) and via Python. (Replaced api key and grafana url values)
curl:
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer <apikey>" https://<grafanaurl>/api/dashboards/home
response:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: GET

python:
import json
import requests
server= "https:<grafanaurl>"
url = server + "/api/dashboards/home"
headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer <apikey>",
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
r = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, verify=False)
print(r)
# print(r.json())
response:
<Response [401]>
Insomnia gives the same error message as curl.
Am I doing something wrong? My organization uses LDAP authentication to automatically log us in to Grafana - could this be a reason why this doesn't work? If so, how would I work with this? I want to be able to call Grafana apis from within an application.
