IBM Cloud Pak for Data - Data Logging Access & API

[r poon]

A number of error messages, ranging from Authorization Bearer,  URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL...:

1.  Multi line continuation symbol ^ or \ with curl:

The line continuation character ^ or \ may cause problems, use LONG string of "curl xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"   

2. IAM_TOKEN

Keep this as a shell variable in Linux to avoid the Quote within quote issue, and save the generated token inside

(the quote " before text string does NOT matter, so no need to use the quote and end-quote to store the token value

3. API Key

Go to IBM cloud menu ==> Manage tab on upper RHS, proceed to create or use an existing API key
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userapikey

If you use the wrong API key,  your authoirzation will be rejected:

"message":"Authorization request has been rejected with message: User (ServiceId) is not authorized to access this endpoint"

(the API key from dataset bucket is in COS  and will NOT work for cloud even it can generate Access Token)
