Issue regarding /self/client API
Hello Community,
I'm new to Fineract API, and I was trying Fineract API from the postman to
get some understanding of its underlying APIs.
I think we have an issue with */self/clients* endpoint. Refer ss 1 in
attachment, it was not successful. I was getting 401
Whereas I used */clients* endpoint, with the same Authorization Header, it
was a success 200. Refer to ss 2 in the attachments.

Both are equivalent in terms of functionality for sure, however, Bugs or
issues fixed/not fixed varies as demo.fineract.dev follows CI/CD
Do we have some wiki/docs where all the business-related terms are
explained. For instance, users, clients, groups, Centers, etc, and related
terms.
I am not aware of documents which explain the business-related terms, but
if you are aware of how MFI, NBFC, SACCO, and other financial institutions
work, then it would be easy to learn and use it from this

Hi Saksham,
All routes behind /self are the self-service APIs built for the opensource
android application as rightly mentioned by Oluwalana, However, it can be
accessed through Postman with self-service enabled user credentials
Self-service users can be created by following This
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sxt2Ou7-TjGnk9azKhw7AtcSWY8mKubP1lWfqXx9pL8/edit>
document.
You can also refer to the instance https://mobile.mifos.io/ which has
self-service user already created
Credentials are
User:299devansh
Password:password

I don't think there's any way you can correct it.
It's working by design. The initial request responds correctly. What I
think you want is; you have a particular use case for some of the
self-service APIs.
If yes? You might to state that use case and ask how to achieve that
without depending on the self-service APIs.
Cheers

Thanks, Oluwalana for your inputs
As per the API docs, I don't see any difference between the two. Can you
please elaborate, so that I can correct my postman request (attached in
previous mail's attachment) in a similar manner?

Hi Saksham,
All routes behind /self are the self service APIs built for the opensource
android application whereas other APIs like /client was built to interact
with your backend system.
The two APIs have different authentication mechanisms that explains the
401.
