Does the reports API accept bearer tokens?

Question

The documentation appears to be contradictory.

https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/expert/rest_api_get_data_set.html

GET /CustomReportsEngine/rest/reportsplusengine/datasets/<datasetID>/data 
Host: <host name>
Accept: application/xml
Authtoken: <authentication token>

When I attempt to use a bearer token, I get 401 not authenticated.

I hit this recently and there’s a hotfix in the works (possibly already released) that should resolve it. Should be getting backported to FR32, FR34 and FR36.

I was informed that for the custom reports engine APIs you should be able to workaround the issue by adding QSDK and a space before the token eg [QSDK<space>Access token string] instead of the bearer token prefix. Haven’t tried that myself though… just went back to using the classic QSDK Token in the AuthToken header approach for the time being.

Awesome, I will try the QSDK thing.

I am using the bearer token to update excel spreadsheets and had to write a login script just to get the data.

Super annoying.

Thanks.
