HELP - Authentication issue with PAT token

Hi,

 

I have successfully created a PAT (Personal Access Token) after logging into my Cloud Tableau account and generating one. However, when I try to execute:

 

curl "https://us-east-1.online.tableau.com/api/3.4/sites/<SITE_ID>/workbooks/<WORKBOOK_ID>/" -H "X-Tableau-Auth:<PAT>"

 

I am getting an authentication error (401002). The PAT is definitely correct, I've tried two now, neither work :-0.

 

This is based on the following documentation:

 

https://help.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api_get_started_tutorial_part_1.htm#add-credentials-to-a-rest-call

 

Which I believe supersedes below for cloud users, (who are all about to be enforced with MFA):

 

https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/security_personal_access_tokens.htm) supersedes the signin documentation here

 

Please help, thanks

    @Richard Browne​ 

    First, you would need to sign in with something like:

    curl --location --request POST 'https://us-east-1.online.tableau.com/api/3.16/auth/signin' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Accept: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{
      "credentials": {
         "site": {
            "contentUrl": "yoursite"
         },
         "personalAccessTokenName": "Tokname",
         "personalAccessTokenSecret": "wmAEuP0hA==:FR4FuMt9U"
      }
    }'

    After login, you would receive a response like:

    {
        "credentials": {
            "site": {
                "id": "3aa0c-68d-4054-a12a-ce7f6146",
                "contentUrl": "yoursitename"
            },
            "user": {
                "id": "53717a93-3839-40f-8f29-efe3fbb8"
            },
            "token": "guQ9rE991e0c-6e56146",
            "estimatedTimeToExpiration": "364:23:59"
        }
    }

    with a token. and a site id that you would use on your next api call.

     

    Then, if you have the workbook id, then you can use:

    curl --location --request GET 'https://prod-useast-b.online.tableau.com/api/3.16/sites/3aa0c-68d-4054-a12a-ce7f6146/workbooks/9b18be-49-404-90-bb2d4e9b' \
    --header 'X-Tableau-Auth: guQ9rE9ieova|3aa91e0c-6e56146' \
    --header 'Accept: application/xml' \
