APIC-EM API authentication

[andreizamfir16]

Hello. I'm trying to get a service ticket from the body of a POST request on the url "https://sandboxapic.cisco.com:9443/api/v1/ticket". The request contains a json that looks like this: "{ "username" : "admin", "password" : "C!sc0123" }". This is the first time the post request returns the error "INVALID_CREDENTIALS" with the message "Please provide valid credentials" instead of the service ticket i requested. What credentials should I use then, if not the provided ones?

I can confirm that when the credentials listed at https://developer.cisco.com/media/apic-em-getting-started-5-18-16/t_setup_always_on_sandbox_new_getstart_aem.html are used, then the API ticket is properly granted.  That is, the credentials you are using here are wrong.

Thank you very much for the answers! The credentials provided there are working!
