How to authenticate on Centreon's Rest API (v1)

I'm attempting to obtain the authentication token for Centreon's REST API using the ARC client API. Currently, I'm running Centreon version 22.10 and referring to the API documentation (https://docs.centreon.com/docs/22.10/api/rest-api-v1/).

I'm simply including my credentials in the body of my POST query in JSON format like this:

{

  "username": "user_name",

  "password": "admin_passwd"

}

the url i used is 'https://local_domain/centreon/api/index.php?action=authenticate'

However, I'm receiving a 'bad parameters' error response, which I'm unsure how to resolve. I've already checked the syntax using a JSON checker.

I've also tried using Postman with the v2 API, but encountered the same error. Could anyone provide assistance?

Here is a test using cURL

curl -s -d "username=my_user&password=my_password" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST http://centreon-central/centreon/api/index.php?action=authenticate

Another in Python

import requests

username = "my_username"
password = "my_password"

centreon_api_url = "http://my_centreon_central/centreon/api/index.php"
payload = {"username": username,
           "password": password
           }

param = "action=authenticate"

url = f"{centreon_api_url}?{param}"

r = requests.post(url, data=payload, timeout=300)

if r.ok:
    jr = r.json()
    print(jr["authToken"])
