[SOLVED] How to pass api key properly?

[KendrickMichaud]

I don't know if this is an issue with CompreFace or something with the postman requests.

I have built CompreFace on an ec2 instance and have been trying to get postman to work with the API.

I have the API key and all the headers/body but everytime I send the request I get

{
"message" : "Service API key should be UUID",
"code" : 26
}
I am sending the x-api-key as:

"cc555555cc5-c555-5555-555555"

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Edit: I tinkered through Postman and disabled every header except for postmantoken, host, content-type, x-api-key. I then removed the quotes and this time it worked!

Sorry for bringing this up, but I can't figure it out... Where do you find the API key? I'm running HAOS addon and the key is nowhere to be found.

You'll have to manually get it from the built-in portal. Eg if it's hosted on localhost:8000 (check the docker compose file to see the port it's on) you'd have to go through the sign up process (creates an admin account), then once you create a new service in the portal it will show an api key.

I haven't used Home Assistant so it could be different there.

Thank you. I could not find this mentioned in documentation.
