Portainer Verison : 2.27.0

I'm currently testing the Portainer API using Postman on localhost.

I obtained a JWT via /api/auth and added it to the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Then, I made a POST request to /api/users/{id}/tokens.

However, I received the following response:
"Forbidden - CSRF token not found in request"

How can I generate an access token via the API?

Hey, have you read our docs around this? https://docs.portainer.io/api/access

@Nick-Portainer So, does that mean it's impossible to generate an Access Key via API calls and that it must be created through the UI?

@Aaron-Bae Have a look at this, which explains how you can get a token via an API call - https://docs.portainer.io/api/examples
