API Call through item with bearer token

[jvdb]

hi,

I want to create an item that does an api call with a bearer token.
I got it working with a regular apiToken but with the bearer token I can't seem to get it to work.
I have set it up as follows:


The url is the API URL
Query fields where bearer token should be

is there something I can do to get it to work?

Hey!

You’re currently sending the Bearer token in the Query fields, but it should be included in the Headers. Here’s how to fix it:

1. In the HTTP Agent item configuration, add the following in the Headers section:
• Name: Authorization
• Value: Bearer {your_token}
2. Remove the token from the Query fields (it’s not needed there).

This should resolve the issue, as Bearer tokens are typically sent in the request headers, not query parameters. Let me know if you encounter further issues!

Thanks "My token changes periodically. What should I do in this case?

Place the token in a macro so you can easily update it on host level. Or do it in a fancy way where you have a zabbix script item (or any other script which can do that for you AND talk to zabbix api) which runs at a certain interval which request the new token, and then with the zabbix API update the macro on your host with the new token.

thank you!!!! I solved that!

i believe the easiest way is to actually write a script which would do that for You. especially if the change is frequent, if not then You can do that manually. i of course assume You're using macros, this is very convenient
