[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Help with REST API

[KNOWLES Claire]

Hi

It tells you how to store the session id for reuse over the command line in the Archives Space Developer You Tube videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJFitFaE9AY_DDlhl3Kq_vFeX27F1yt6I.  They are really useful to watch if you are using the API.

Hello,

We're attempting to retrieve the data for a resource in using the REST API.

The request is:
GET /repositories/1/resources/1

We're receiving receiving a 403 Forbidden HTTP response.  I assume I must authenticate.

We're able to "log in" using:
POST /users/admin/login (supplying Username and Password as parameters.)

The log in appears to work.  Among other values, we're receiving back a "session" string.

Maybe the session string is required on subsequent requests to show authentication, but are unsure of the correct way to pass it.

Is this documented; are there examples we're not finding yet?

TIA
