But when I invoke the http://<scomhost>/OperationsManager/data/alert api by passing the authentication from postman I always get the following error
{
"errorMessage": "Your session with the Web console server expired.",
"errorTrace": ""
}

    Question with full details :-

    I have scom2019. Whenever I run the rest api http://<scomhost>/OperationsManager/data/alert from powershell script on the same scom host then I am getting the result.

    But when I invoke the http://<scomhost>/OperationsManager/data/alert api by passing the authentication from postman I always get the following error
    {
    "errorMessage": "Your session with the Web console server expired.",
    "errorTrace": ""
    }

    Am I missing something? Do I need to pass any headers or paramaters or do I need to enable something on scom side to make the rest api work from some other host?

    Can you please help to resolve the issue.

    Hi @mahesh palem ,

    I don't know how to use Postman, but to retrieve alert data you will need to specify some criteria as you can see in my PowerShell example over here:
    https://thesystemcenterblog.com/2020/07/09/quick-start-scom-rest-api/#311_Retrieve_all_new_alerts

    Which SCOM version and build are you running? There is a fix in Update Rollup 1 for SCOM 2019 that fixes an issue with the “Your session with the Web Console server expired."
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4533415/update-rollup-1-for-system-center-operations-manager-2019
