Hello Guys, I was trying to connect to PeeringDB API via IX-API on PM but I am getting a "404 not found" error as shown in the image. Is there a way to avoid the authentication via token or to skip the '/auth/token' part in the URL as this '/auth/token' part is being attached by the PM UI and as far as I have tested it seems like it does not exist as part of the PeeringDB API methods hence the 404 error. Or maybe I am using an incorrect URL (https://www.peeringdb.com/api), if this is the case can you provide the correct URL or approach to connect with PDB.
By the way: I've filled the "API-key" and "Identity" fields with my PDB token and user respectively (for the API-secret field I dont know what to do with this), and if I try to left this fields empty it says is a required field...
Please help, thank you so much. |

tl;dr: See https://peering-manager.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/optional-settings/#peeringdb_api_key I think, you misunderstood, what IX-API is. |

Hello Guys/Julian, thanks for your support. Sorry for the confusion there I forgot to post, but yes a couple of days ago after trial and error and reading the documentation I realized that PDB and IX-API are two different things, and finally made it work. |

I think, you misunderstood, what IX-API is.
IX-API is something an exchange offers, while PeeringDB is a user managed database not attached to any single exchange.
For configuring PeeringDB, please check out the link above for the required settings.
