Invalid Cross-Origin Request when trying to retrieve Session Key

Hi,

 

I'm trying to retrieve session key as per https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=sessionauth

 

I was trying this using postman client(for testing).

 

<response status="error">
<error code="307">
<message>
Invalid Cross-Origin Request. Request origin: &apos;chrome-extension://fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop&apos; contains no matching allowed origin(s).
</message>
</error>
</response>

 

My aim is to write a set of API extractors to retrieve the data from lithium community via API.

    vmalla - Can you try to hit Get request and passing the user.login and password on URL? 

     

    /vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=login&user.password=pwd

        Below is postman collection file. Save this file as .json and import it on POSTMAN tool.  After importing the file just update the URL and credentials. 

         

        {
	"variables": [],
	"info": {
		"name": "DEMO TEST",
		"_postman_id": "e2e70e34-333c-7fd3-59a1-9489427af7de",
		"description": "",
		"schema": "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.0.0/collection.json"
	},
	"item": [
		{
			"name": "API0AuthV1",
			"request": {
				"url": {
					"raw": "https://community.url/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=USERNAME&user.password=PASSWORD",
					"protocol": "https",
					"host": [
						"community",
						"demo",
						"com"
					],
					"path": [
