    I'm sure you've figured the Issue out by now.
    However, I thought I would post a reply, in case others come looking for an answer.

    Perhaps if you replace your "URI" w/ the following, it might help.
    https://api-na.myconnectwise.net/v4_6_release/apis/3.0/company/contacts

     

    NOTES:

    • "http://"replaced w/ "https://"
    • "CompanyName"replaced w/ "apis"

    I would also like to recommend that anyone interested in working with APIs, consider utilizing an API Tool (such as "https://www.postman.com/"), to Test their API Calls.

    I hope this information helps someone out.

        Sorry for being several years late on this. I don't use my TechCommunity Account too often.


        You are going to need a "ClientID", an "API Key" and your ConnectWise Manage/PSA "Company ID".

         

        To obtain your "ClientID", you'll need to Register for a ConnectWise Developer Account, using the Email Address that you use with ConnectWise PSA/Manage.

         

        ConnectWise Developer Site:
        https://developer.connectwise.com/

         

        Once you have your Developer Account Setup, you can create a "ClientID", which you can use to Authenticate with ConnectWise.

         

        ConnectWise Developer - ClientID:
        https://developer.connectwise.com/ClientID

         

        To obtain your "API Key", you will need to Generate one, in ConnectWise PSA/Manage, under "My Account > API Keys" (If the "API Keys" Tab isn't visible, you may have to make it visible, in your Profile "View" Settings).

         

        Finally, your "Company ID" is simply the Same ID that you use to Sign into ConnectWise PSA/Manage. In the Sign-In Form, there are typically Three Fields (Company ID, Username & Password). You will want to use the "Company ID" that you would normally Type into the First Field (or just copy the one that is there, if you have Auto-Fill Enabled).

        For more information, I would refer to the following Instructional Video.
