Invalid Request
This is a catch-all error message for a number of different issues on the download page. Here are some of the main reasons this error can come up:
- You are using the wrong license key
- You are using the license key for a Looker-hosted instance (only self-hosted licenses can download jar files)
- You are using the wrong version name when selecting Specific Version (a valid example is
looker-7.4-latest.jar) - You are trying to download a jar for an unsupported release (more info on supported releases here)
You can find more information on the looker jar file download page here.
ERROR 400: Bad Request
One reason for this issue is the formatting for the wget command when using the API method for downloading the jar files. Following the example from the doc:
wget -O- --header=Content-Type:application/json </code>--post-data='{"lic": "YOURLOOKERLICENSE", "email": "contact@email.com", "latest":"specific", </code>"specific":"looker-5.24-latest.jar"}' </code>"https://apidownload.looker.com/download"
--post-data='{"lic": "YOURLOOKERLICENSE", "email": "contact@email.com", "latest":"specific", </code>"specific":"looker-5.24-latest.jar"}' </code>"https://apidownload.looker.com/download"
"specific":"looker-5.24-latest.jar"}' </code>"https://apidownload.looker.com/download"
