Research direction
Start with Configuration(api_key=...) and the README.md example using access_token, then trace how ApiClient authenticates AdminApi->admin_apps_list. Reproduce the 403 and verify that the chosen configuration produces authenticated requests; done means the documented token terminology and the working configuration behavior are consistent.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I got tempted to pass api_key = 'my-super-duper-secret-key' to the Configuration object, as one has an API key at hand, and all I got was a 403 Error (t-shirt material right there).
import os
import sys
import authentik_client
def main():
host = os.environ.get("AUTHENTIK_HOST") # I passed here a URL ending in "/api/v3" even though is called "host", see #9
token = os.environ.get("AUTHENTIK_TOKEN")
if not token:
print("AUTHENTIK_TOKEN unset")
sys.exit(1)
if not host:
print("AUTHENTIK_URL unset")
sys.exit(1)
configuration = authentik_client.Configuration(
host=host,
api_key=token
)
with authentik_client.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
# Create an instance of the API class
api_instance = authentik_client.AdminApi(api_client)
try:
api_response = api_instance.admin_apps_list()
print("The response of AdminApi->admin_apps_list:\n")
print(api_response)
except authentik_client.ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling AdminApi->admin_apps_list: %s\n" % e)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
When invoking it I got:
python move-okta-app-to-authentik.py
Exception when calling AdminApi->admin_apps_list: (403)
Reason: Forbidden
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'date': 'Thu, 30 Oct 2025 20:47:20 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8', 'content-length': '58', 'allow': 'GET, HEAD, OPTIONS', 'referrer-policy': 'same-origin', 'vary': 'Accept-Encoding, Cookie', 'x-authentik-id': 'af8d40bf08934e5cb8e602be325694f6', 'x-content-type-options': 'nosniff', 'x-frame-options': 'DENY', 'x-powered-by': 'authentik', 'strict-transport-security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains'})
HTTP response body: detail='Authentication credentials were not provided.' code=None
In fairness the example in the REAMDE.md points out the usage of access_token, however it doesn't really align with the nomenclature.
# Configure Bearer authorization: authentik
configuration = authentik_client.Configuration(
access_token = os.environ["BEARER_TOKEN"]
)
But your API Credential to interact with the server is a "Bootstrap token", and for users you can create "Token"'s, (notice the lack of "Access").
