Thank you Sara – I wouldn't have guessed that in 100 years.

Thank you, Sara.  I've been trying every article I can find and have not found anything that would work until your simple screenshot and instructions.  (Zendesk, take note... this is the kind of documentation we need to get this kind of thing kicked off!)

Really appreciate your taking the time to post this.

For anyone who is as clueless as me. This is how I made it work:

First select the Authorisation tab, then select Basic Auth within the Type dropdown list. Now let's fill in the following information under Username and Password.

Username: {email}/token
Password: {your_api_token}

For example:
Username: youremail@domain.com/token
Password: uyviuyvoubpuigq8fvoufybcqoiquhg8t8x5c

Hi Prasad, 

The API Key does not seem to work, or I couldn't get it to work with Postman. Norman Nolasco kindly advised me of what to do and it has worked without any issues.  You have to change your Authorisation Type to 'Basic Auth', not intuitive and seems incorrect but it works. You'll need an profile set up in Zendesk with a valid email address. I have created an account just for API calls and given it the required role/privileges. 

Type: Basic Auth
Username: {email}/token
Password: {your_api_token}

I hope this helps

I had trouble getting this to work as well. The docs aren't quite right.

Postman Settings

Type: Basic Auth
Username: {email}/token
Password: {your_api_token}

Hi Mohamed, 
 
That does sound a little strange. I can go ahead and pull you into a ticket to take a better look. Please look out for that email correspondence from me.
 
Best,

Hi Erica, thank you for the response.  I am unsure what type I should be setting in the Authorization tab in Postman.  I tried using API Key but no luck.  I also tried to use No Auth and added what yo have suggested to the header, again no luck.

Thank you

Regards

Mohamed
