Synology FileStation API Can't Authorize

I’m trying to test the Synology API using Postman. So far however I can’t get the ‘sid’ to work. I can authenticate and receive a ‘sid’, but any requests using it return a 403.

DSM Version - DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2

Authenticate /webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&version=3&method=login&account={account}&passwd={password}&session=FileStation&format=sid

I copy the ‘sid’ in the response.

Info /webapi/FileStation/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.FileStation.Info&version=1&_sid={sid}

This returns a 403. Any request I make with the ‘sid’ fails. I have also tried using the format=cookie option, but it is the same result.

Would love to know if you know something that would point me in the right direction?

I've figured out why this was not working (was having the same issue), in your request for FileStation Info, you are making a request to /webapi/FileStation/entry.cgi, but it should actually be /webapi/entry.cgi, so the full request would be /webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.FileStation.Info&version=1&_sid={sid}

You can see this is the correct path when making a request to: /webapi/query.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Info&version=1&method=query&query=SYNO.FileStation.Info as the path says it is entry.cgi. The API documentation is definitely a little misleading and would be good if it were updated.
