Authentication issue when performing a REST API call

I'm trying to get data from our company community TKB using REST api. We use SSO and it works fine.   I input the url in a browser:   http://community.ourcompany.com/ourcompany/restapi/vc/categor...

I've seen the error '303' when I wasn't authenticated.

 

I would expect you to pass a token in your URL. But I haven't had the chance to play with SSO and the Rest API so can't tell for sure.

 

Have you reviewed the authentication part of our API documentation? There are steps to take to be able to use the API with SSO ...

Hi OlivierS , I work on the same community as nickz and can verify that the users are granted "Make REST API calls with read access " I believe our community enabled this because of a certain way our KB page was set up. Is there anything else we need to check or try?
