API Authentication

[Ismail1]

I am trying to run some API calls to the account console. I tried with every syntax possible encoded and decoded to get the call successfully but it returns a "user not authenticated" error. But when I tried with the Account admin it worked. I need to know whether not having password authentication with normal users on the account console is what's causing this issue.

We use Token generated in Account console to make REST API calls. you can try this work around if your use case allows to use token instead of userid/password.

Below is an example in python.

  user_json = {

  "schemas": [ "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User" ],

  "userName": f"{username}",

  "name": {'familyName': f'{last_name}', 'givenName': f'{first_name}'}

  }

  headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

  url = 'https://accounts.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/accounts/<account_id>/scim/v2/Users'

  result = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(user_json))

Hi Venkat, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks
