Solved Has anyone used the B2 API

[JaredBusch]

I signed up for a B2 account.

I created a bucket.

I created an application key.

I cannot authenticate to the API.

Guide: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/b2_authorize_account.html

Got it. I was using the account id with an application key.

A more careful reading of the above linked page shows that:

So that was the disconnect.

• Application Key requires Application ID.
• Account ID requires Master Application Key.

When the examples clearly stated ACCOUNT_ID and APPLICATION_KEY

I cannot use their client. This will be a web application.

Eh. . .

I just use python to sync via the CLI from directory 1 to b2://whatevers

B2's example for cUrl is exactly this.

But all other examples, and their text state that is should include the word basic and be base 64 encoded.

While I can do that, I was under the impression I could "prove" the solution via cUrl.

C# example.

To verify I was not being stupid, I installed b2 locally as pip is already installed on my Fedora 29 Desktop.

So account problem of some kind.

But it is created, and verified.
