Attempting to get Private Apps working. Error: Authentication credentials not found

[AdamJacobson]

I’ve been trying to follow the video shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Qd9Hp4giM in order to get Private Apps working. I am using Postman just like the video. Everything else looks the same to me.

Error message received is

“message”: “Authentication credentials not found. This API supports both API Key and OAuth 2.0 authentication and you can find more details at Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot”,

The URL being generated is here (minus the stars which is where my Private App token is)

https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts?Authorization=bearer ***-***-******-****-****-*****-*******

The exact same URL works fine if I instead use the hapikey header with our existing API key.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @AdamJacobson ,

You can not pass the Authorization header in the URL, but it needs to be set through Postman.

Okay. That worked. Thank you.

I am still confused as to why the video shows this being done as a header and it works fine but not for me…
