Settings

Before you begin you will need to add your Mosyle API key into the settings before you begin. If you have chosen maximum security you will also need to supply your username and password - the Base 64 Auth key will be calculated automatically. After February 8, 2024 you need A JWT token (which Mosyle Query 1.3.0 or higher will obtain for you). If you created your API key before October 9, 2023 you will have to create a new one to work with JWT Authentication.

Troubleshooting

1 Make sure you have filled out all the various Settings dialog boxes with at least the appropriate API token, and the Username, Password, and base 64 Auth if required. After February 8, 2024 all API integrations require the use of HWT Authentication. If your API token was created before on or before OCtober 9, 2023 you may have to create a new API key in your Mosyle Dashboard to use with JWT authentication. Version 1.3.0 of the Mosyle Query is set to use this new type of authentication.
