I have a Drupal 8 website. I need to access the list of articles using www.myexample.com/rest/views/articles.

I could get the token using curl --header "Content-type: application/json" -b cookies.tt --request POST "https://www.myexample.com/user/login?_format=json" --data '{"name":"myname", "pass":"mypassword"}'.

How do I use cUrl to pass the token or user/pass and get 'rest/views/articles' in JSON format?

I tried curl --header 'authorization: Bearer {D12G7AajU9NdUAb260zqwCimfdddR1Krg5}' --url https://www.myexample/rest/views/artigos/format?_format=json, but it returns an error.

UPDATE

I follow the @Ismail Cherri suggestion, seems a progress in the question but give me back :

"message":"The used authentication method is not allowed on this route."

In drupal website the config :

/entity/view/{view} is set to : 

GET
formats: hal_json, json
authentication: basic_auth

and /entity/entity_view_mode/{entity_view_mode} is set to : 

GET
formats: hal_json, json
authentication: basic_auth

anyone could help?

  • At /user/login you start a loggedin session and receive csrf token - this token needs for a POST/PATCH (with header key 'X-CSRF-Token') and this not eliminate the needs of Authorization - it is not needed for GET, I would recommend you to check JWT or api_key modules for D8 to use for authorization. Of course, a cookie authentication is the easiest way for an authorized request, but it is tricky to get a cookie (or data to create a cookie) if your frontend is not served from the address where is your rest point.

  • If you're just using basic_auth and nothing else, then you need to perform a basic auth login for every request you make. If you also enable cookie auth then you can use the cookie for subsequent requests after creating it with a call to user/login.

First of all, does your endpoint require authentication to begin with? If yes, then use this https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/core/modules/rest/3-post-for-creating-content-entities as a guide though it is for a POST request.

UPDATE
You need to know which authentication method are you using, e.g. basic_auth, cookie, Oauth, etc?
According to the method, you should formulate your request. The use of X-CSRF-Token is for Cookie Authentication.
It might be in your case that you successfully got the token, but you're using it on an endpoint which requires Basic Auth.
As I see in your posted REST configuration, you're actually using Basic Auth, thus your request should look something like this: 

curl --request GET \
  --url http://example.com/entity/view/{view} \
  --header 'authorization: Basic HASH_HERE' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
