Generate Access Token

With CURL, you need to provide tokens. To generate token, run the following comand.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'X-DataHub-Actor: urn:li:corpuser:datahub' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query":"mutation { createAccessToken(input: { type: PERSONAL, actorUrn: \"urn:li:corpuser:datahub\", duration: ONE_HOUR, name: \"my personal token\" } ) { accessToken metadata { id name description} } }", "variables":{}}'

Expected Response:

{
"data": {
"createAccessToken": {
"accessToken": <my-access-token>,
"metadata": {
"id": <my-id>,
"name": "my personal token",
"description": null
}
}
},
"extensions": {}
}

You can now copy accessToken and pass it to header.
