curl -u api_key equivalent

[seth_ekc]

Hello,

I’ve been searching for a solution to this for some time now to how to pass an API key. The closest forum post I’ve found is:

Accessing Mixpanel API via KNIME

Hi, 1) You'll need to create a header for the HTTP basic authentication, which takes the values from the -u parameter. 2) For URL-encoding the data, there's currently no ready-to-use node. (would be nice to have) So you'll have to resort to some Java scripting for both. For (1) I have a ready-to-use example. Get in touch via email if you're interested. Kind regards, Philipp

The original post describes the same type of get request I’m trying to make. Here is my example:

curl  https://{site}/api/v2/items \
     -G  \
     -u {site_api_key}:\
     -d type[is]="widget" \
     --data-urlencode limit=2\
     

I think option 1) from Philipp is what I’m looking for. Unfortunately, the solution isn’t posted. Is there a way to do this in GET Request or HTTP Retriever?

Or @qqilihq, can you share the ready-to-use example you referred to?

All the best.

Hi seth_ekc,

this is an “HTTP Basic” authentication. You can do it with the HTTP Retriever as follows:

HttpRetriever_HttpBasicAuth — NodePit

Hope that helps.

Thank you. It’s been a crazy busy week, so I haven’t had a chance to try this yet, but will follow up when I do.
