Cloud - USERS REST API - Unauthorized 401
Trying to get the User's info via rest api and by the userId from session.
I'm getting ERR_ABORTED 401 (Unauthorized)
From the docs I read I need to send via a GET request those headers: GET /v1/users/{userId} HTTP/1.1 Host: HOSTNAME Content-Type: application/json X-Appwrite-Response-Format: 1.4.0 X-Appwrite-Project: 5df5acd0d48c2 X-Appwrite-Key: 919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2
In my project's console I defined the hostname field as my local IP, it should be the same in the HOST Field ?
What about the X-Appwrite-Key, from where do I get it ? Is this field optional ?
Thanks
TL;DR
Issue: Developers are receiving an "Unauthorized 401" error while trying to access User info via the REST API in a Cloud service. They are questioning whether the hostname should match their local IP in the 'HOST' field and are unsure about how to obtain the 'X-Appwrite-Key'.
Solution:
1. Ensure that the 'HOST' field matches the correct hostname specified in the project's console.
2. Obtain the 'X-Appwrite-Key' from the Appwrite dashboard under API Keys. It is a required field for authorization and should be included in the request headers for successful access.
