NetSuite Professionals

Hello all, I'm trying to hit the `Issue Token` via Postman.  Seems I'll need to figure out the pre-request functions to do so.  Checking here to see if anyone might have done this already?

do you mean the <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_1549405961.html|The NLAuth Authorization Header in TBA>?

Ya.  In reality <@U5TF1GQ20>... I'm trying to educate myself on a programmatic way to get an access token from NetSuite

Round and round I go ... I'm only getting '400' responses

So, I've not even gotten to the front door yet!

its pretty much all hard coded parameters

unless you have the unfortunate task of generating a totp

I'd like to see an 'unauthenticated' response first .. just to let me know I've made progress.

GET <https://tstdrv2240455.restlets.api.netsuite.com/rest/issuetoken?consumerKey=XXXXXX&amp;name=CHR>

Wait .. I get a different response in POSTMAN than I do in the browser

sounds weird, what headers are you sending

Ya, why would postman response be different than the browser.

When I remove my NLAuth, ya .. you're right

WHen I add the NLAuth back ... I get the ol' `Could not deteremine customer compid`

im not sure how badly you have to mess up the NLAUTH to cause that error

Got it ... so, I have to ensure the nlauth_account is CAPITAL ...

its probably easier to use a generator app

programmatically i suspect will involve converting a npm totp package

Last hurdle ... I get a `Not enough permissions` error.

I'm asking for a token ... so, the role I'm using has `Access Token Management`, `Log in using Access Tokens` and `User Access Tokens`

id double check that your employee actually has access to the role you are trying to use

Got it .. thanks for listening to me <@U5TF1GQ20>
