Having the same issue. Have SteVe
Version: | 3.8.0-SNAPSHOT
Database Version: | 1.0.8
created new web-user with password, but API calls always throw: 401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"The user does not exist, exists but is disabled or has API access disabled."

hey, i just updated the wiki page for REST API access: https://github.com/steve-community/steve/wiki/Configuration#rest-apis

pls let me know if something is still unclear.

I replaced the password text with the hashed value...

Got something, but don't know what this result represents, and I also got the "unauthorised" error again.

[goekay]

the database entry/value should be the HASHED password.

the value you use in HTTP API call should be the PLAIN TEXT value of the password, not the hash of it.

OK, thanks for all your help, this is sorted out now. API is working. Now I am looking for an endpoint to start/stop a charging transaction via API, and change charge profile via API. Is there such a feature ?

@mzsolnay Mostly, see #1000

Thank you, I can remotely start/stop a charging transaction via API. What I would be REALLY interested in, is to be able to change the charging profile via API (or any other way if possible). I can do this from the SteVe web UI, works perfect, wish to do it via API now.
