Eric, chances are you need to pass an authorization token in request headers?


With python requests module - code snippets here:

import requests
s_token = "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJJRCI6MSwidl91c2VyX2lkIjoicm9nZXIifQ.GYPdAGEnnruVNCd69ZUe5e22l_PBlLIMoVz1KSAlogk"
http_headers = { "Authorization": s_token}

# ...

rp = requests.get(s_url, headers=http_headers)

# end code

I'm being asked to test a MuleSoft endpoint by authenticating with a key and secret, obtaining a bearer token, and then using the token to log in and send data to the endpoint.  My co-workers are using Postman to do this, but that app is not accessible.  I've installed Thunder Client for VS Code but can not figure out how to get it to do this.  Reading my co-worker's Postman script just confuses me.  I've been told I need to use an app that supports API key authentication.  Do any of you know how to do this?

Thanks,
Eric
