I am using the xibo 1.8.1 version and trying to call API through postman. I am following the instructions mentioned in the below link… [Authentication - Integrate with Xibo | Xibo Digital Signage](https://xibo.org.uk/docs/developer/cms-api-overview) 1# My First API call is Access Token. I should receive the access token however, i am receiving the below error. kindly suggest.

It looks like the `{{url}}` variable in your Postman environment might be incorrect.  
Perhaps additional trailing slash or something like that.

I’d suggest going through my api introduction [1.8 API Introduction](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/1-8-api-introduction/7702)

If you’re on 1.8.1, then upgrade to 1.8.13 would be highly recommended, 1.8.1 is quite old at this point.

Could you please send me the new version link. I can’t see the latest version.

Hi Peter,

installed latest version but still showing same error, Do we need to configure any other settings ?

OR

Do we need a docker environment or others things?

Thanks,  
Sandip

You don’t need any additional settings to get the API working - there is something wrong with the URL that you’re using.

If you visit it in a browser you should get the API landing JSON at `/api` if you don’t then there is a configuration issue.
