I am trying to make the /ConnectApp api call in Postman to get a connection credential, however I keep getting a 500 error that says I am not logged in despite providing my login credentials in the POST call. Is there another step or something that I am missing?

It looks like you are trying to connect to a DaaS system. This is currently not supported for Web Services.
Hi Gunnison, creating your own User Defined APIs would be the best option for DaaS systems: https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Functions/User-Defined_APIs/UD_APIs.html
Yes it is a DaaS system, are there any alternative ways to interact with my system from a third party system like creating jobs and running workflows?
