Looker /login API throwing http 403

Hello everyone 

I am trying to get an access token programatically using this doc. https://docs.looker.com/reference/api-and-integration/api-reference/v3.1/api-auth. But I am getting 403. 

I followed the doc and created a user and got client_id and secret. But i am keep getting 403. 

Any help will be great. Thank you

Hi @jumpinglion,

Do those credentials work for you in the interactive API docs? We can see the API docs by going to admin → api → View API Docs. 

Also, what method are you using (curl, postman, etc)?

A common issue is people do not use a post request for that endpoint or they use the wrong port. 

Thanks,

Eric

Thank you. The issue was the port. Cheers
