NetBox version

v3.6.5

Python version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

It does not work "Non-authenticated REST API endpoint via which a user may create a Token.":

1.- POST: /api/users/tokens/provision/
Example Value Schema 1:
{ "expires": "2023-11-22T13:18:33.129Z", "write_enabled": true, "description": "string", "username": "string", "password": "string" }

 Example Value Schema 2:
 `{
      "username": "string",
      "password": "string"
    }`

Expected Behavior

A 201 response like:
{ "id": 0, "url": "string", "display": "string", "user": { "id": 0, "url": "string", "display": "string", "username": "tTnthh-HVxpS.@a@fEMI+mkEa_.pCGXhb6ZcQKWJBITD1tL8UnCnIqyN14d1z." }, "created": "2023-11-22T13:18:33.308Z", "expires": "2023-11-22T13:18:33.308Z", "last_used": "2023-11-22T13:18:33.308Z", "key": "string", "write_enabled": true, "description": "string" }

Observed Behavior

The request reaches the endpoint correctly:
def post(self, request): serializer = serializers.TokenProvisionSerializer(data=request.data, context={'request': request}) serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) self.perform_create(serializer) return Response(serializer.data, status=HTTP_201_CREATED)

Error in data['key'] = Token.generate_key():
def to_internal_value(self, data): if 'key' not in data: data['key'] = Token.generate_key() return super().to_internal_value(data)
Detail:

Thank you for opening a bug report. I was unable to reproduce the reported behavior on NetBox v3.6.5. Please re-confirm the reported behavior on the current stable release and adjust your post above as necessary. Remember to provide detailed steps that someone else can follow using a clean installation of NetBox to reproduce the issue. Remember to include the steps taken to create any initial objects or other data.

I had the same problem.
If I call it from outside, it returns 405 (using insomnium) or returns nothing (using curl).
It only resolves when I call the api (using curl) on localhost. Then, I can call from outside again.
After a while of no use, it stops working and I need to call again from localhost for it to work.

Again, without complete reproduction steps there's no way for us to troubleshoot this, or even identify that it's a problem with NetBox itself. I'll point out that we do test this endpoint as part of our CI process.

localhost works, but external query does not.
External query doesn't work before I call it on localhost. You don't have an external test of your application.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json; indent=2" https://netbox.mydomain.com/api/users/tokens/provision/ --data '{"username": "myuser","password": "my@Pass1"}'

I can't replicate the error behavior now as it is in production. But the api stops responding if I don't make queries for a long time.
So, I call it on localhost and everything works normally again.

netbox (v3.6.6)

@orionalves this sounds like a deployment issue, and likely not related to the original bug report. Note that the report indicates receiving a 500 error rather than a 405. And the API definitely should not be responding intermittently.
