@chilly-king-10285 how do I generate a valid session cookie from my RapidApi client, its like postman

To generate a valid session cookie from your RapidApi client, you would typically need to perform a login operation through the Ory API. Once the user is authenticated, a session cookie is issued. However, the exact details of how to do this would depend on the specific Ory API you're using and the authentication flow it supports. For example, in the case of Ory Kratos, a session cookie is issued when the user signs in through the browser-based login flow. To get the session payload, you would send a request to the
/sessions/whoami
endpoint. Here's an example of how you might do this using cURL:
Copy code
bash curl 'https://{project.slug}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami|projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami>' \     -H 'Accept: application/json' \     -H 'Cookie: ory_kratos_session=MTYzNDIyNzEzN3xEdi1CQkFFQ180SUFBUkFCRUFBQVJfLUNBQUVHYzNSeWFXNW5EQThBRFhObGMzTnBiMjVmZEc5clpXNEdjM1J5YVc1bkRDSUFJRTFDYWtvME5VNVlaVWxvYVZWeWJrUnZhSEF4YmxSV2VVRlhNMWwxVlVGenxXpsk2cL21Dclk3nCoXV41N6bFxvVJSt7CeICy_815Aw=='
In this example, replace
{project.slug}
with your project's slug and
ory_kratos_session
with your session cookie. Please note that this is a general guide and the exact steps may vary depending on your specific use case and the Ory product you're using. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/overview#using-ory-session-cookie).

@chilly-king-10285 I can use Oauth 1 or Oauth 2 with my rapidApi client does one of these methods help/work?

A message from kapa.ai
Ory supports OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. OAuth 2.0 is a protocol that allows applications to request access to user accounts in a simple and standardized way, without getting their passwords. For instance, in the Ory Hydra API, OAuth 2.0 clients are used to perform OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows. These clients are usually generated for applications which want to consume OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect capabilities. However, the specific method to authenticate and generate a session cookie might vary depending on the specific Ory API and the OAuth 2.0 flow you're using. For example, to perform the
setOAuth2Client
operation, you must be authenticated by means of the
oryAccessToken
method. On the other hand, operations like
getOAuth2Client
and
introspectOAuth2Token
do not require authentication. Please refer to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api) and [Hydra API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/reference/api) for more details on how to use OAuth 2.0 with Ory. As for OAuth 1.0, it is not mentioned in the provided knowledge sources, so it's safe to assume that Ory does not support it. OAuth 2.0 is a more secure and flexible update to OAuth 1.0, so it's recommended to use OAuth 2.0 if possible.
