Hello community, I have identification problems on the VRM API. I enter my credentials (login and password) but the application requires me an SMS_Token. How to get this SMS?

How to get an SMS_Token for the VRM API
It means you have 2-factor authentication enabled on your account. The SMS token get send to the phone number you entered while enabling 2-factor authentication on your account.
If you want the API without having to enter this SMS token you can always use personal access tokens: https://docs.victronenergy.com/vrmapi/overview.html?page=accesstokens#personal-access-token-endpoints
Thank you for your reply Teun Lassche, I went back to my VRM account and I checked ... I did not activate the 2-factor authentication! And I still can not get on the VRM API. I log in very well from the HTTP site ... I do not understand.
@Jean-Pierre PALMAS the HTTP site uses the exact same API as the one you are authenticating with. If you don't need to enter a SMS token there, it's also not necessary for the API. You can just omit it in the login request, see https://docs.victronenergy.com/vrmapi/overview.html#login
