Cannot generate auth token

Seafile Server
1

Hi guys,
Currently I am playing around with api documentation available here https://manual.seafile.com/develop/web_api_v2.1.html but I get stuck at the very beginning (Quick Start → obtain auth token). My curl command is not working as expected. Can you guys have a look at this?

Thanks.

How about adding a slash at the end?
https://cloud.seafile.com/api2/auth-token/

Same result.

You can add -L to the curl command line to follow the redirect - but it would probably be better to first run it with -v to see what’s going on (e.g. in the Location header).

This is what I get https://pastebin.com/p1XUhHjW

Ah - apparently you are using a domain which does not serve a Seafile instance.
When you try to open https://cloud.seafile.com/ in your browser, you just get redirected to the Seafile Product Homepage.

What URL do you use in your browser when you login with the credentials you send?

https://customer.seafile.com

Well yes, that’s not a Seafile instance. That’s just the customer portal of Seafile Ltd. where you manage your licenses and stuff.

You can only use the API at an actual Seafile instance. Like https://demo.seafile.com/.

Thanks for clarification.
