Getting "access token is empty" with zoho api - api

I'm trying to create some monitors in site24x7 with an script we used to use in my work.... I've created the self client in zoho api and follow the documentation of site24x7 about refresh tokens. https://www.site24x7.com/help/api/#authentication
The thing is I need to frist create the refresh token and then export these variables in other to run the script to create this monitors... everything looks good until I run the script... looks like I'm doing something wrong... I'll show an example...
I'm almost 100% sure that it is not the script because the only thing I need to Edit is something to create the monitor with the name, etc.
Any idea or some one has seeing something similar before?
PD: the script is in go lenguague.

It looks like the tokens were returned from Zoho successfully. So the issue may be in the main.go script. If the main.go script mainly sets up and calls an http/api call then you might debug by making that call manually with curl.

How do I use/read an api documentation to send a simple request?

I know this is probably strictly case-specific, but I do feel like I encounter this problem a lot so I will make an effort to try and understand it better.
I am new to using APIs, but I have never succeeded in using one without copying someone's code. In this case, I can't even find any examples on forums, nor in the API documentation.
I'm trying to pull my balance value from my investment bank "NordNet" to scroll, amongst other things, on an Arduino display I've made. Right now I use python Selenium to automatically but "physically" login to NordNet and grab my balance from the DOM. As I'm afraid I might get "punished" for such botted behavior, and because the script is fairly high maintenance (as the HTML changes over time), I would obviously much rather get this information through NordNet's new API.
Link to NordNets API doc
Every time I try to utilize an API doc it's always the same, it looks easy, but I can never get it to work.
This time I tried to just play a little with the API before exploring further.
I use PostMan to send the simplest request:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2
And I get a successful code 200 JSON response.
I then try to take it a step further to access my account data using this endpoint:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2/accounts
For this one, I obviously need some authentication of some sort
The doc looks like this:
So I set my PostMan client up like this and get the response showcased:
I've put my NordNet login into the "Auth" tab as "basic auth" and I then see PostMan encrypts this info some way, in the "Headers" tab.
I'm getting an unauthorized response code and I have no idea why. Am I using PostMan wrong (probably)? Is the API faulty (probably not)? There is a mention of a session_id that should contain both password and username? Maybe something completely else...
I hope you can help
The documentation says to use session_id as username and password for that api ,
so try logging in and then get the session id (try with both sid and ssid) . from network tab and pass it as username and password for authorization .
sid- is for http and ssid for https i guess , try with both

Simplest way/tool to automate API calls and to save Json results in a file?

What would be the simplest tool/editor (ideally for Mac) to run web API queries (Stateless RESTful web API) in a loop in order to store Json results in a file ?
Very simple basically, trying just to automate the following :
- a first call to get a list of IDs
- then for each each ID, doing a call to get a few values related to this ID. Values are returned in a Json file, I would like to store them in a file (csv or excel)
To test the queries, I've used "Advanced REST client" to set a request with my authentication information header and do a few API queries tests, it works well but now I basically want to create a script to get the whole set of data which is returned and save in a file. With the idea to run this script from time to time. You can't to that with "Advanced REST client", right?
Sorry it's not (yet!) a super advanced question but any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may try Postman - definitely works on (accursed) Mac

Endpoint with Google Flex env

There is bit of a confusion, wondering if somebody can help me with this.
Here is an example which is a year old and uses goapp with polymer and endpoint
https://github.com/googlesamples/cloud-polymer-go
Here is a recent example using gcloud
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/golang-samples/tree/master/appengine_flexible/endpoints
Both are different as google changed its approach.
As per second example, I am able to create endpoint functions which uses json for input and output. However there are 2 problems
1st. It is throwing error if I put functions in different file under same package. It works when I run go run .go. but then I dont understand how app.yaml come into picture. I think this url /_ah/spi/. should work
2nd. I am using postman app to check the request and response from endpoint. Is there a better way? I thought google does provide a platform to test endpoint.
Is there any example which implements examples similar to 1st one with new libraries?
looking forward for your help. Thanks.

google app script gmail testing

I want to make a clean up script for Gmail to my needs. I happy to use a script, which code I found in a blog, but now I need to modify it.
How can I test it without risking my Gmail box? I'm not good or experienced inJS, so I'm pretty sure there will be some mistakes. And I don't want my emails messed up. Is there a sandbox, or some kind of testing environment?
No, there is not. You should create a test account for you to work with.
Also, when working with your account. You could always just log an action instead of doing it. i.e. instead of
thread.moveToTrash()
do a
Logger.log('move thread "'+thread.getFirstMessageSubject()+'" to trash');
Then check menu View > Logs to verify the actions your script would do. You could also create a TEST variable and use it as condition in your code to determine if it should perform an action or just log it (or both).

Google+ .Net API - Getting Authenticated and retrieving profile

I'm trying to get a users profile information for google+ via the .NET API but am having trouble.
Does anyone know if they have changed how the special ID "me" works?
In the documentation it says this can be used as a special ID to get the currently authenticated users information however this throws a 404 from both the API in my code and on Google's own test page https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/get. I was logged in when trying this.
Does anyone know how to get the user ID as I would happily use that instead of me but it isn't returned after the user authenticates as far as I can see (just an authcode)?
I also tried using user IDs returned when using the standard .net Oauth stuff but it isn't the correct ID, I assume it is for something else.
As for my method of getting to this stage, I first downloaded the example files here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/GettingStarted
They don't have a plus example so I took the Tasks.ASP.NET.SimpleOAuth2 example and swapped out tasks (which worked fine) for the plus equivalent.
I also tried rolling this into my own project.
Neither worked. I get the user forwarded to Google where they give me access fine and then when I return they are authenticated successfully as far as I can see, however when I call service.People.Get("me") it returns a 404.
If anyone could help with the above questions (using me, or gettign the user ID) I would appreciate it.
To the moderator who closed the initial version of this question, I have tried to make this as direct a question as possible so please don't close it. This is a legitimate question I would really like help getting to he bottom of.
This is now out of date given recent platform updates. Although the plus.me scope still exists and this code will work, you should be using the plus.login scope for retrieving profile data in C#. For a great way to get started with retrieving and rendering profile information, please start from the Google+ C# quick start available here:
https://developers.google.com/+/quickstart/csharp
First off, the 'me' id still works and is unchanged. The way that it works is:
You authenticate the user using a standard OAUTH2 flow
You use the library to perform a People.get with the special value 'me'
The 404 error code is a little troubling, this means that the client isn't finding the endpoint. To debug this, you might want to use a packet sniffer like fiddler to see what the actual URL it's querying is.
Anyways, how about some C# code. The following example shows how to use the plus service to get the currently authenticated user (assuming you have authenticated someone). What's different from your snippet is that you need to form a get request for the API call, then run fetch on the get request. I've included the following example, for getting 'me', and the following code works:
var auth = CreateAuthenticator();
plusService = new PlusService(auth);
if (plusService != null)
{
PeopleResource.GetRequest prgr = plusService.People.Get("me");
Person me = prgr.Fetch();
}
All of the configuration of the server and getting a client working is pretty hard and pasting all of the code here would be less helpful than just giving you a sample.
And so... I have written a sample application that demonstrates how to do this and also includes a wrapper that makes it easier to develop using the Google+ API in C#. Grab it here:
Google+ C# Server-Side demo and library
Seems you need to use:
Person test = service.People.Get("me").Fetch();
and not
req = service.People.Get("me");
Person test = req.Fetch();
Even though they seem to be identical the first works and the second doesn't.
Still not sure why google's own page doesn't work though. Now to find out how to add things to the scope like birthday.
