[@mananshah7052]

Great Job Geoffrey. You saved me a few hours. All I had to do is copy paste the code in my Custom App and the API was working !
Thanks for this !

Hi Geoffrey Karani , First of all thank you for informative video, I have concern here I have used your code and tested for administrator and other user, the code is working fine Administrator credentials and can able to see response with api-key and other details but if you tried for Non-admin user the api returning only fail response like "Authentication Error!", I think for non-admin user It is failing to generate api-key and secrete key

Hi Karani. Awesome tutorials. I have a doubt. How to create a signup api with password without getting email link. Will you please make a video on that. Thanks

I did not understand one thing. After sending GET request from Postman, If we refresh from the logged out page we should be able to see logged in page of erpnext right ? But why is that not happening ?

[@KaraniGeoffrey]

If I get you right, you mean you log out from postman and that logs out the instance on your browser?

[@vikramk6869]

@@KaraniGeoffrey like what I meant was suppose you log out from erpnext and then send GET request through postman then if you refresh your erpnext page it should automatically login without asking for login credentials at the front end but it doesn't happen like that. This is my doubt.

[@KaraniGeoffrey]

@@vikramk6869 you got it all wrong! The API and the web app are completely independent. Logging in or out of one has absolutely no effect on the other. I suggest that you look more into their differences and when to use either

I tried the code and I am getting the following error in postman:
"exception" : "frappe.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Password not found"
But the password is correct. Do you have any suggestions.
