My SonicWall API - Bearer Token

Hi,

I successfully managed to get through most of the steps to access the MySonicWall API:

I have an access token, client_secret, tenant_serial - but I never managed to get the bearer token. I always get an 401 Unauthorized."

I followed the instruction here:
https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/nsm-cloud-getting-token-for-msw-and-nsm-apis/231018225425867/

Remarks:
- I always use https://api.mysonicwall.com/api/ (and not NSM) - is that correct? (will NSM work if user does not use NSM? I tried it as well, at least I am getting a reply:
"status": {        "info": [            {                "code": "NOK",                "level": "error",                "message": "Serial (0040xxxxxxxxxx) is not registered to NSM."            }        ],        "success": false    }}

- in my account are two tenants, I tried with serials from both tenants - I always get an 401 Unauthorized. I added authorization x-api-key as well - no difference.

Tested with postman and python scripts.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Martin

    Your doing better than me, i cant get a tenantserial out of mine, i get the json from the first step but there is no tenantserial in there haha

    I got to the point where I "sometimes" got a bearer token (It looked to me as if you could pull it once in~ 12 hrs. Since the weekend (during my tests so far) I always get it. I would assume something has changed in backend

    (one) secret was that you pull the stuff before from api.mysonicwall and the bearer token you get from NSM…

    Now I am working on the last step to do the actual query and get something out of MSW - this query currently always results in a "401 unauthorized" (although I do send the bearer token)

    Just give me a couple of month and by christmas I'll have it figured out… :-)

    we dont have NSM so im just trying to get the api/downloads to get the latest firmware version details, but it appears that needs a token which doesnt seem possible to generate without NSM which doesnt seem right to me

    have got an accesscode, but dont see how to use that for a MSW token

    so i think im missing something obvious but support is taking forever to reply haha
