I'm using the Turnkey orangeHRM image in AWS. I need to be able to use the API to retrieve an employee's ID and details, but can't seem to get this to work.

The API documentation seems a little sparse and although I've managed to setup the auth token, I cannot use a bearer token to login and get details back. 

So is the API fully functional in this image (ie. can I do what I need to?), and,

Is there a curl or other example of how to make a POST/PUT call?

$ curl -s -XPOST "https://orangehrm-elb.bangonabout.com/symfony/web/api/getEmployee/employ... --header "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --header "Authorization: Bearer {"access_token": "81811710cf1a93e8e42175f7471fcbe9c41b1e9f"}" | python -m json.tool
{
    "error": "invalid_grant",
    "error_description": "The access token provided is invalid"
}

keeps coming back, but I suspect either the API won't accept this or my bearer header syntax is wrong?

Anyone able to help?

Thanks

Phil.
