Varying API Endpoint Permission Issues

Question

Hello All,

I am working on a couple API queries and am running into an issue that seems to be dependant on the API URL I am using. I was weondering if anybody could shed some light on the issue. I am using Basic authentication currently.

If I query https://can262-services.dayforcehcm.com/API/ClientNameSpace/V1/Employees I seem to get the results I expect, however if I query https://api.dayforce.com/employee/ClientNameSpace/V1/employees/ I get an error message stating "User is not authorized to access this Employee".

All the documentation in the developer portal is now geared at this new URL, however, it isn’t working for me.

Anybody have an experience with this?

not sure why you want to use that api.dayforce.comendpoint. I was confused as well when I saw the new endpoints but this webinar suggests on keep using the general URL structure as ​@allancaplansuggested above.

As an FYI on this, I have proven that a redirect is not the issue in this case, I was able to perform the query from thehttps://www.dayforcehcm.com/API/ClientNameSpace/V1/Employeeslocation as well.
