Hey, I am developing  a mobile app that uses this api. I was able to get an access token but  I am not able to use it. I've tried postman with different auth methods.
I get this error message:
    "message""Authorization header requires 'Credential' parameter. Authorization header requires 'Signature' parameter. Authorization header requires 'SignedHeaders' parameter. 
Authorization header requires existence of either a 'X-Amz-Date' or a 'Date' header. Authorization=Bearer Authorization=c88y1n4ld005amc04ld122hbyw4ld2lzfofw4ld3"

Hi,
To use the API token, you should pass the api_token and api_key in as "Params" (querystring) in Postman. Be sure to edit the "Headers" to set "Accept" to "application/xml" and the "Content-Type" to "application/xml" (for XML). You'll pass your request in using the Body (raw).

I just tested this combination in Postman to confirm that it works.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Kevin

Hey, 
Thanks for the reply, i went through  a whole ordeal in making an AWS account and signed the request with a secret key and access key. I wonder why it had to be so complicated :D

P.S I am developing a mobile app using your API and will need to implement donations soon, I will be sure to contact you if I need any support. THANK YOU again :)

Crazy error log for AWS newbie, i have got the same error, 

I realized that the calling method that i indent to be called is not available. It means that some how i rename my method, so that i tried to call old method, i got the same error message as your above.
