Influx CLI query returns "Access is Denied" even though correct token is provided

InfluxDB 2

Hello,

Firstly I’m quite new to the InfluxDB ecosystem so apologies if I’ve done something stupid…

I’m struggerling to query my influxDB via the CLI. Using the python API I can run queries fine, but if I type the following into the command line

influx query 'from(bucket:"HARW") |> range(start:-60m)' --org UoB -t <token>

it returns “Access is denied”. However if for example I run

influx server-config -t <the same token>

a result is returned. (If I provide server-conif with an erronous token it returns a 401 error).

Therefore I believe the token I am using is correct, however I still get “access denied” when trying to run a query from the CLI. What am I doing wrong? Cheers in advance for your help.

Hello @qe19391,
I recommend setting up and influx cli config first and they performing queries:

And then you can literally do:

Without providing credentials. Give that a try and let me know how it goes :slight_smile:

Hi @Anaisdg, thanks for the response. In the end I found my issue - my url was specified as ‘https’ not ‘http’…
