How to setup Postman for consuming SAP DATASPHERE APIs?

[Asim_Munshi]

Recently setup a demonstration of consuming data with SAP DATASPHERE APIs with Postman. The blog scope is limited to facilitate postman setup.

Here are the steps to follow

1. Within your Datasphere tenant setup an OAuth Client by navigating to System-->Administration-->App Integration

Leave the Redirect URL as blank. Copy your ClientID and Secret.

From the App-integration page - also grab the Auth URL and the TOKEN URL. You will need it in step 2.

2. Now Open Postman and setup a new collection. I am calling it SAP DATASPHERE SPM. It is best to setup the OAUTH2 authorization at the collection level and have the children POSTS/GETS inherit it.

Configure the New token as shown.

Choose GrantType: Authorization Code

Callback Url: http://localhost

Grab the Auth URL and the Token URLs from System-->Administration-->App Integration wherein you setup the OauthClient

 

 

 

Click on 'Get New Access Token'

At this point you should be prompted to login to SAP BTP.

Once you login to browser and continue you should get your Token.

 

Click on 'Use token'

Now you can setup your individual requests to get spaces or data with Authorization set to -- 'inherit from parent'

clicking on 'Send' should yield results.

Hi asim.munshi ,

Thanks for the detailed steps. We have SSO configured via Azure AD for our Datasphere tenant. In the final get request instead of getting the expected outcome, I am getting below information. Do you know if additional configuration is required for our scenario?

Regards,

Deo

I was able to fix the error, now I can access my spaces and other information.

Trail & error method -

First saved the parent file and after that closed and reopen my postman. later I tried by writing the same url under get .

Hi Asim Munshi,

great blog!
We have SSO configured via SAP IAS (SAP Cloud Identity Access). Is it also possible to use this scenario and how does it work? Any step-by-step guides?

Best Regards,

Elke

hi Deodutt - I don't have an SSO configured tenant to check this out, but try with giving the DWC URL as the callback URL

Hey,

We had similar problems with SSO. We solved most by adding a custom key to the header

key = x-sap-sac-custom-auth

value = true

Kind Regards,

Hi asim.munshi / svandelanotte ,

Thanks for reverting. I was able to resolve the issue just by saving the config, closing and reopening Postman as mentioned by Kumar in his reply.

Hi @Asim_Munshi 

We are trying to setup Postman in order to connect Datasphere to Google Cloud Looker to do a data preview. We are experiencing a problem with getting a token. On the stage where we connect to the BTP application, it gives the following error:

For this type of connection, what would constitute the Redirect URL? please assist.
