Hi,

I came through a problem and search a lot. I use "define" action to search "add" action and cannot find it. So I guess I have no permission to it. I don't know why. 

Thank you for your help!

    ps:I am a volunteer and my role is already animal add. I can do public search and define. But when I try to add animal, it display: [messageCriticality] => error [messageText] => The action you specified was not found.  Really very confusing. TOT

    Hey yuxinshi,

    You can use the public API key only for public requests (ex., publicSearch). If you are trying to make an authenticated/private request (like add an animal) you have to generate a token and tokenHash and use that instead of the API key.  You can get a token and tokenHash by calling the login action: HTTP API "login" action.

    I would recommend that you login, and then make a request to define using your token and tokenHash.  You should see the additional actions like add, according to your permissions.

    Hope that helps,

    Richard
