Testing the Custom APIs

Testing the deployed APIs

Now that we have deployed the API to Rill Cloud, we can test the APIs with the two tokens that we made.

Using the service token

Let's use the following to return the results from the CLI:

curl https://admin.rilldata.com/v1/orgs/Rill_Learn/projects/my-rill-tutorial/runtime/api/SQL_api \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your_service_token>"

Note that the results from SQL_api and metrics_view_api are the same.

Using a user token

Based on the access policy, we expect that the API does not work as the user does not have access to the metrics_view, but should work with the SQL api as this is just running against a SQL table.

Viewer's Token

Dashboard API: (metrics_view_api)

curl https://admin.rilldata.com/v1/orgs/Rill_Learn/projects/my-rill-tutorial/runtime/api/metrics_view_api \  ...

{"error":"action not allowed"}

Underlying SQL table: (SQL_api)

curl https://admin.rilldata.com/v1/orgs/Rill_Learn/projects/my-rill-tutorial/runtime/api/SQL_api \ ...
