Question

Hi! I was using a klaviyo/sdk-php that is deprecated so I need now to change it for the new sdk klaviyo-api.
I’m following Klaviyo developers guide of the stable version 2023-08-15 and also I’m doing the klaviyo developer certification at the same time, (I though that would be helpful), but I’m looking some differences between docs and while following the steps, I found out that when I’m trying to make a test API request using POSTMAN I got a 404.

https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/docs/make_your_first_api_call

In this above page, section Test with Postman, I forked Klaviyo Postman Workspace, there is not a List & Segments as it says on this documentation, but I picked just list from the postman workspace.

In the picture on the same section, looks like the example filled up Params (for authorization) and Body/x-www-form-urlencoded (to create the list) and shows the
POST {{baseUrl}}/v2/lists?api_key=PRIVATE_KEY
and suggest to Replace the PRIVATE_KEY value with a private API key from your account. But in the forked Postman workspace the
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/lists/

My question is how is the correct way to authorize the API call, I tried all the combinations using Params and also using Authorization type API Key.

Thank you!

Hi @veroca!The link you providedabove directs you to make an API call that creates a list, by using a CURl request imported into postman. In that example, the line that authorizes the call is:--header 'Authorization: Klaviyo-API-Key your-private-api-key'- where you would replace your-private-api-keywith your actual private API key.The first API call you referenced,POST {{baseUrl}}/v2/lists?api_key=PRIVATE_KEY, is a v2 (legacy) endpoint, where the authorization would appear in the URL of the call.For the new V3 endpoints (including version 2023-08-15), the authorization line isno longer presentin the URL, but ratheras a header in the CURl request.I hope that helps, and thanks for using the Community!- Brian
