To add to what phildunlap said, you must include 'application/json' in the accepts header.

If basing your code on the question and answers on that stackoverflow page, you would need to add the following line before invoking the send method:

objHTTP.setRequestHeader "accept", "application/json"

I've never written any VBA and very little VB personally, but I think this stackoverflow thread does some general API type stuff, and it does contain some information about setting headers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19553476/how-to-make-rest-call-with-vba-in-excel

You'll want to do a GET to /rest/v1/login/admin or another user with the password in a header named "password" which will get you a response with a Set-Cookie header if successful. You'll have to pass that header's value as the "Cookie" header in subsequent requests.

You may need to include the XSRF-TOKEN portion of the Cookie under the X-Xsrf-Token header, as well. If this is required you'll have a 403 Forbidden response when using just the Cookie header.

Someone else may chime in with an example script. Good luck!
