I’m working through the Create a Manual Endpoint in Data Virtualization – FME Support Center however when it comes to the Make a Request from the Documentation section and clicking the ‘try it out’ button in the Swagger page, I get the following 401 response:

Is this related to the time which the error lists as 15:48 GMT, however we’re on BST in the UK at the moment so it’s actually 16:48?  If so, how can I resolve it? 

Otherwise is it a simple authentication issue? - the tutorial says “the EnvionData API is authenticated by default” so I’m a little confused by this.

Hey ​@btl 

Did you try setting the access level to unauthenticated?

    I have the same issue with authenticated endpoints (FME Flow 2025.1 b25606).
    I think there might be something off with the documentation for those. The login window should appear to retrieve a token, but it doesn’t.
    You can try using the URL directly in your browser, that should work.

    I’ll try to rephrase that.
    The Data Virtualization API being used here is called “Environmental Impact and Response API”, with the namespace “environdata”.

    By default, this API requires authentication.
    So it should read something like: “Since the environdata API requires authentication by default to use its endpoints, a login window should appear before the request is executed.”

    There’s also a small typo that might be confusing (hey ​@sanaeatsafe  👋).

    Thanks for your answers - yes agreed, there seems to be something not working with the default authentication via Swagger or a separate browser but going through the next stages of the tutorial today, which covers authentication in more detail, all that seems to work as described.
