Unauthorized: Bad credentials

[Tomer Jonas]

Hello, i'm having difficulties getting OB-TOKEN when using basic Auth for specific user.
I'm trying reach: GET https://api.outbrain.com/amplify/v0.1/login, using email and password, and receive:

{
  "message": "Unauthorized: Bad credentials"
}

Same credentials login successfully for Outbrain UI.

When I'm trying to use same endpoint for different email and password, it generate successfully the OB-TOKEN.

Hi there, 

Thanks for reaching out! Can you first please confirm whether you're trying to generate a token using the credintials associated with the email you're writing in from (tom...@tarzomedia.com) or a different email?

Best, 

Bryn

Hi Bryn.

A different email.
Trying to generate from the email i'm writing from generate successfully the OB-TOKEN.

Hey Tomer, 

Thanks for confirming. The issue is likely that the other email you're using is not enabled for the Amplify API. (tom...@tarzomedia.com is approved, allowing you to generate a token successfully.) 

Could you please share the other email you want to generate the token from so I can grant API access to it? 

Best, 

Bryn
