Hi All,

I recently got the Homewizard P1 Meter.  
Their documentation describes how to request a new user token, but i can not get it to work.

> **[Authorization | HomeWizard Energy API Documentation](https://api-documentation.homewizard.com/docs/v2/authorization/)**
>
> Get a token to authenticate requests to the HomeWizard Energy API.

I have my http post setup as:

And this gives me:

Have you physically pressed the button on the device

1. The **user opens your app** which initiates a network scan, discovering a device, such as a P1 Meter.
2. After selecting the P1 Meter, the **app sends a `POST /api/user` request** with the [necessary parameters](https://api-documentation.homewizard.com/docs/v2/authorization/#parameters)
3. The device responds with a **`403 Forbidden` status** , indicating that the user must physically press the button on the device to continue.

All I can think is the new\_user section of the name may need to be a username.

looking again the name needs to be in the payload not the header

```auto
[{"id":"b3332b0da77eccfb","type":"http request","z":"d1395164b4eec73e","name":"Post API Request","method":"POST","ret":"obj","paytoqs":"body","url":"https://192.168.86.32/api/user","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","insecureHTTPParser":false,"authType":"","senderr":false,"headers":[{"keyType":"Content-Type","keyValue":"","valueType":"application/json","valueValue":""},{"keyType":"other","keyValue":"X-Api-Version","valueType":"other","valueValue":"2"}],"x":530,"y":6660,"wires":[["f1b847fc3f80a29e"]]},{"id":"a6d766c733eddc04","type":"inject","z":"d1395164b4eec73e","name":"Inject","props":[{"p":"payload,name","v":"local/new_user","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":310,"y":6660,"wires":[["b3332b0da77eccfb"]]},{"id":"f1b847fc3f80a29e","type":"debug","z":"d1395164b4eec73e","name":"Response","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":740,"y":6660,"wires":[]}]

From the node-red system can you `ping 192.168.86.32` ?

On the website the curl example is

```auto
curl https://<IP ADDRESS>/api/user --insecure \ 
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \  
-H "X-Api-Version: 2" \ -d '{"name": "local/new_user"}'

```

it has the --insecure flag which is to connect to server that has self signed certificates ?  
In Node-red you can try to set from your Inject node `msg.rejectUnauthorized` to `false`
