API Format to retrieve password

[Joshua Sanders]

Having a hard time getting the API to work so my developers can use it in their applications. A simple retrieve in Curl should be the following no?

 

curl -k -sS -X GET https://<server-name>:9119/api/passwords/test-password -H "apikey=<api-key>"

 

I'm currently getting the following error

[{"errors":[{"message":"Invalid API Call"},{"phrase":"Error = Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}]}]

Hi Joshua,

 

We don't have much experience with curl, but I found this post which has some reference to old API documentation which might help with the formatting - https://www.clickstudios.com.au/community/index.php?/topic/2203-retrieving-a-password-via-api-and-curl/ 

 

I think your issue might be the reference to 'test-password' - if you are retrieving a single password record via this controller in the API, then you must use the PasswordID value. If you are wanting to search for a password, then this is a different controller, and the format is /api/searchpasswords

 

If you look under the Help Menu, and Web API Documentation, we have all examples in PowerShell, but the formatting should be similar for curl.
