Credentials don't work in API

[takeshi]

I can login in the web interface.
But when I try
curl -v -k -d "username=root@pam&password=secret" 'https://192.168.1.2:8006/api2/json'
I get '401 No ticket'

Does the use of the API require any configuration or enterprise subscription?

I'm using proxmox VE 6.1-7

Hi,

No.

I get '401 No ticket'

Maybe your password has a special character try with single code

curl -k -d 'username=root@pam&password=secret'  https://192.168.1.2:8006/api2/json/access/ticket

Thank you.
It was a dumb mistake of mine.
I copied/adjusted the URL from the wrong sample line from the docs:
https://10.0.0.1:8006/api2/json
instead of
https://10.0.0.1:8006/api2/json/access/ticket
It indeed works fine.
