API Help Please

ERPNext

Is there an API? Looking at the documentation that the UI leads you to doesn’t have anything except sales order. Google search takes me here:
https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/guides/integration/rest_api/simple_authentication

But don’t know if that is supported in ERPNext or not because it keeps giving me a 404.

If those are the right pages (the latter), I would need to know if it should work on the save server, pointing to localhost? I just can’t get anything back that makes me believe there is an API endpoint.

Thanks in advance

Thanks, I’ve been trying to follow the info in the first link you provided. Getting 404. Should I be able to run on terminal on same server using localhost as the end point?

ubuntu@ubuntuerp:~$ curl -k  https://localhost/api/method/frappe.auth.get_logged_user -H "Authorization: token c0ba505a68c5ea8:1861a2f71278efc"
404 page not found
ubuntu@ubuntuerp:~$

Hi:

I don´t know about your environment. Your bench are serving app on some port, probably 8000, so try:

curl -k http://localhost:8000/api/method/frappe.auth.get_logged_user -H "Authorization: token c0ba505a68c5ea8:1861a2f71278efc"

Hope this helps.

Try to add -H "Host: {site.name}" in curl command.

You need to access api with site name or specify it as host header.

Thank you - that was it. I updated URL to site1.localhost and got a response. One step forward!
