Hi abmpu

 

Here's an example curl request for session key generation:

curl -XPOST 'https://yourcommunity.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=<login>&user.password=<password>'

response is in this format  

<response status="success">
 <value type="string">NO-1sPyPINXCQUDnQLjxcHnYVgyxF-qE5xIHlyUQzDU.</value>
</response>

 

when you are facing below error message may be you are giving wrong credential

please check your username and password once

<response status="error">
   <error code="302">
        <message>User authentication failed.</message>
   </error>
</response>

 

please refer https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=sessionauth this link for reference  

 

 Give kudos if you find my posts helpful or mark solution if it answers your query.

    Thanks ashok285

    The issue here was that the user was not a native lithium user.

      abmpu Can you clarify what you mean by "native lithium user"? I'm experiencing the exact symptoms as you described above (the GET error and the POST error). This is a user account that's been working for a long time and suddenly stopped working.
