Hi,

I am trying to request information from FMEflow with an httpcaller. I have created a temporary token that allows everything. If I include the token in the URL, the request works fine. (https://<...?/v3/info?fmetoken=abcdefg...)

When I put the token in the httpcaller I get a 401 warning. What goes wrong in the caller?

    It should be formatted as fmetoken token=<yourToken>

    I had already found that article and have tried all kinds of variations, but I always get a 401 back.

    If you printscreen the entire HTTPCaller parameters?

    I find that it’s easier and more secure to use the web connection in the “Use Authentication” section. That way you don’t have to hardcode a token in your workspace.
