Problem with Api

[Alan1234 0]

Hi, I receive the Internal Error 500 when I try to change the password to a user using a generate api key (Advance -> Api Key). Instead when I use the Api key that swagger use I don't have problems. 

 

I can use the swagger's api key, but it changes every 2 days. Anyone has a solution? Thanks

use the /user/authenticatebyname end point

 

returns an access token - use this instead of the apikey generated via the UI

 

Swagger is only for testing not production - hence why the key changes

When I try to generate it, I receive the error

 

"Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'appName')"

 

What is wrong?

did you fill in the headers and body thats needed along with admin username and password

See the section on Authentication (as well as the other general API usage): https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki

Yes sure

 

My question is: Why the api that I generate doesn't work?

You have no "appName" in your headers...

[Alan1234 0]

Emby UserId="(guid)", Client="(string)", Device="(string)", DeviceId="(string)", Version="string", Token="(string)"

 

This is the appName? I can't understand. If yes, what I need to put in "Token" and "Version"?

[ebr 15680]

Sorry, it is "Client" in the header.

[PenkethBoy 2066]

put this in the text box

Emby Client="Login-testing", Device="testing", DeviceId="4567", Version="1234"

add your admin user and password below that

 

and it will work

Yep, I have fix it, thanks to all. The error was that i put "Authorization=Emby Client="Login-testing", Device="testing", DeviceId="4567", Version="1234" " instead of "Emby Client="Login-testing", Device="testing", DeviceId="4567", Version="1234" "

 

I hope that this will help others too!!

becasue swagger adds the authorization to your string

 

but in your code you need to add that yourself
