如何获取Watson Speech to Text的IAM apikey和IAM url？

Question

I want to play with the IBM Watson Speech to Text Service. How do I get the IAM apikey and the IAM url.

On show credentials, I get this - { "apikey": "###########", "iam_apikey_description": "Auto generated apikey during resource-key operation for Instance - #######", "iam_apikey_name": "######", "iam_role_crn": "######", "iam_serviceid_crn": "######", "url": " https://gateway-syd.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api " }

Answer 1

If you are using the API docs to code in a programming language like Node.JS - Your apikey in the credentials is the IAM_apikey and url is the URL in your credentials.

If you are planning to use curl, you can generate an access token using the apikey and url following the instructions here

Answer 2

You can also use the same "basic" authorization to try out any Watson service in Curl:

curl -u "apikey:{apikey}" "{url}/{method}"

replace {apikey} with the ### value you see and replace {url} with that value.

For example,

curl -X GET -u "apikey:"###########" "https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/models"
