Basic usage of Rest API

Are you getting the Unauthorized from myopehab.org are you getting it from your OH instance?

Sorry, I am not sure what instance means. Does the instance refer to connection to OpenHAB directly for example via local network instead of through cloud service like myopehab.org?
I am most likely trying to get API response from myopehab.org service where I have cloud connection to my OpenHAB.
My OpenHAB device is running on remote location using GSM internet conection outside my local network so I guess I have to use myopehab.org “interface”.

@rlkoshak

When you execute the API call from the API Explorer built into openHAB itself (under Developer Tools) you can see the exact curl command that would be called and the result from the call.

I have tried that before but probably using it wrong because when I copy/paste my command to my Linux terminal I also get “Unauthorized”:

Same command generates correct response in myopehab.org API explorer:

@rlkoshak

But don’t forget that this is just the authorization for your openHAB server, not myopenhab.org which needs it’s own authorization.

I have foud this post from you. I guess you are describing there how to authorize to get API response via myopenhab url. Is that relevant for me in order to get API response from myopenhab.org? If yes I will research that option more deeply.
