What security levels does your token have? It has to be given a permission that has read access to the gateway:

In `/app/platform/security/settings`:

In `/app/platform/security/api-keys`:

`curl -H 'X-Ignition-API-Token: test:xxx' http://localhost:8088/data/api/v1/gateway-info`  
Returns:

```json
