As the error says, you are not authorised. You need to create a personality insights service, and set the credentials.

You can't use the default settings.

i added the credentials to manifest.yml file. i addes username and password of service. – Fahad Subzwari Aug 14 '17 at 06:11
service details don't go into the manifest.yml file. They go into the .env file. You should read the installation instructions: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/personality-insights-nodejs – Simon O'Doherty Aug 14 '17 at 06:12
ohh sorry. i addes the credentials in .env file. wait let me show u – Fahad Subzwari Aug 14 '17 at 06:15
Do not post your username/password publically. – Simon O'Doherty Aug 14 '17 at 06:15
so how can i solve it? i added the credentials in .env file but still i am getting the same error. – Fahad Subzwari Aug 14 '17 at 06:17

Double check your .env file.

IBM Cloud is migrating to token-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication.

With some service instances, you authenticate to the API by using IAM. You can pass either a bearer token in an Authorization header or an API key. Tokens support authenticated requests without embedding service credentials in every call. API keys use basic authentication. Learn more about IAM.

If you pass in an API key, use apikey for the username and the value of the API key as the password.

In other instances, you authenticate by providing the username and password for the service instance. For more information, see Service credentials for Watson services.

To find out which authentication to use, view the service credentials by clicking the service instance on the Dashboard.

So in your .envfile the service credentials could either be

# service credentials 
PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_USERNAME= <YOUR USERNAME>
PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_PASSWORD= <YOUR PASSWORD>
PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_URL=<SERVICE URL>

Or

# service credentials 
PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_IAM_APIKEY= <YOUR API KEY> 
PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_URL= <SERVICE URL>
