Get Snap Task 401 (Unauthorized) Error

Hi Rich:

A triggered task should be fine for what you’re doing. An Ultra pipeline/task runs constantly and is meant for real-time processing. You can read more about it here.

If you don’t supply a bearer token, then you need to supply your SnapLogic credentials. It sounds like neither is working you (that is, you’re getting a 401).

I’ve verified a simple triggered task using Curl and also a Java client. I assume the bearer token is valid and you have verified the authorization header is written into the request for your React app.

Here is curl request with a valid bearer token:

$ curl -verbose -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer T3gwZuqhcc1no4ZBltrZi4XVTqiPwfdP" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"param1": "value"}' \

  {"content":{"param1":"value"}}
]

A curl request with my SnapLogic credentials:

$ curl --user mbowen@snaplogic.com:<password> -verbose -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"param1": "value"}' \
  http://sm-mbp-mbowen:8888/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/snaplogic/projects/support/simple-task-1

I will get a 401 if either the token or credentials aren’t valid.

< HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED
{"response_map": {"error_list": [{"message": "Authentication required"}]}, "http_status_code": 401}

It sounds like you are able to trigger the task via Postman, so you’re passing the right authentication bits. Is your browser configured to use a proxy? Seems something with the React app.
