[armansour]

Hi Guys, can i access a NON DEV Okta instance with postman & api token? or does it have to be a dev envir. only? I followed the guide here Test the Okta REST APIs using Postman | Okta Developer

here is the error from postman

ET https://mycompany.okta.com/api/v1/users?filter=status%20eq%20"ACTIVE"&limit=100
Error: Invalid character in header content [“Authorization”]

You can use the APIs with other orgs, Developer orgs just have certain, developer-centric features enabled for them by default.

Whats with the ‘my API’ portion in your Authorization headers? It should just be ‘SSWS insertAPIkeyhere’

Hi Andrea

My Headers settings is exactly like you, here is my Envir. screen shot

I copied my okta domain into a notepad , then paste it into my postman Env. settings, worked like a charm, looks like there was some unwanted characters like line breaks, tabs, etc.
