Rapid Api- Skyscanner Flight Search gives 403 (Forbidden) error - api

I was using the free edition of that API for 20 days. There was no problem and status code was 200, I could fetch data . However, suddenly server started to response forbidden.
I have no idea what just happened, I tried to change my api key and nothing has changed. This time, server responses 429, which means 'too many request' with the new api-key. Anyone have an idea what can be the problem is ? I even tried with different accounts , every attempt was a fail for me. My subscription is free edition. Also it says something like this as a response :
Disabled partner with integration ID 27378

Bad news :
Skyscanner decides to stop their API on RapidAPI it won't be available
anymore.

Skyscanner API endpoint is no longer available to RapidAPI service (as confirmed via email from the RapidAPI team).
You can use some other Flight API available on RapidAPI Hub.

Apache nifi getTwitter Processor returning 403 forbidden

I want to use Apache Nifi to track real time tweets
i pasted in my keys correctly but all requests return this error :
19:15:20 UTC ERROR
GetTwitter[id=59b5cb18-017e-1000-a6a2-991a653ec138] Received error HTTP_ERROR: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden. Will attempt to reconnect
i dont know where the problem is from.
thank you.
403 Forbidden means the Twitter API is rejecting your request - your access keys could be incorrect, or you might not have the right access rights for the endpoint you're accessing.
The request is understood, but it has been refused or access is not allowed. An accompanying error message will explain why.
Check that your developer account includes access to the endpoint you’re trying to use. You may also need to get your App allowlisted (e.g. Engagement API or Ads API) or sign up for access.
From https://developer.twitter.com/en/support/twitter-api/error-troubleshooting
Make sure you follow the advice from Twitter here and make note of:
With Essential access, you are only able to make requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, and not the v1.1 or enterprise endpoints. You are limited to 500K Tweets/month, and unable to take advantage of certain developer portal functionality such as teams and access to additional App environments
There are limits on what you can do with the Essential access level. See here.
If that doesn't help - please include a screenshot of your GetTwitter config and your version of NiFi.
If it raises 403 error while using GetTwitter processor in nifi.
API Key & consumer key aren't only a problem. Change the Twitter endpoint field while configuring the GetTwitter processor from
Filter Endpoint
to
Firehose Endpoint
In the field of twitter endpoint
Probably this will work!!

Google Authentication error "500. That’s an error"

Since about 1 week ago I'm getting consistently 500. That’s an error from accounts.google.com side when trying to authenticate with Google.
The first request to
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=openid%20email%20https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/%20https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive%20https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds%20https://docs.google.com/feeds&response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://<XXXXXX>/&state=<XXXX>2&client_id=<MY_CLIENT_NUMBER>.apps.googleusercontent.com&hd=
returns 200, but then the second request to
https://accounts.google.com/signin/oauth?hd&client_id=<app_id>.apps.googleusercontent.com&as=-XXXXXX&nosignup=1&destination=https://<my_app_uri>&approval_state=<somewhatrandomstate>&xsrfsig=<signature>
almost always fails with 500.
I'm using Java Google API client version 1.22.0 and my application is deployed on AWS (region eu-central-1). I'm currently signed in to multiple google accounts, so Account Chooser is triggered.
Any ideas what could be the problem? This auth flow worked fine for long time before then.
The problem was a very slight change of behavior on Google side. Mainly handling hd parameter. Before this change hd parameter was accepted even empty, but now when it's empty it usually ends up with status code 500.

Get Nike API Access Key

I am trying to make requests to the Nike+ API to get information but I do not know where to get a long-term access token from.
I know that I am making the actual request correctly (using AJAX) because I send the same request that Nike+ send when using their test console (I take it from the Chrome network tab when the test console sends). This request works for about an hour before saying the token has expired.
How do I get a long-term token? I have looked around the API and can't find it which makes me think I am missing something pretty obvious here.
Update (12/09/2016)
I need to have a client id to start making the implicit flow requests. I took one from the network tab of the chrome browser (from when I logged in) and used it as a parameter(as well as other things) for the first api call but it said it couldn't load partner details.
Any ideas? Am i even allowed to do what I want to do?
Nike+ API uses OAuth 2 for authentication. In his API there is no long-term token, but you can use refresh_token (30 days) to get new access_token (bound with expired_in) when your authentication expires and get unauthorized response. You can read more at Nike+ API documentation.

How to run IBM BPM Rest api call from Post man client

I am trying to excute IBM BPM Rest api call from Post man client
Ex:
https://ustrial01.bpm.ibmcloud.com/bpm/dev/rest/bpm/wle/v1/user/current?includeInternalMemberships=true&parts=all
I set Basic Authentication values( Username, password)
I am getting status code as 200, but response i am getting some HTML code.
Can any one help me on this.Any help is greatly arreciated.
If you are getting a 200 status then why do you need the response? the status code should be good enough for you because 200 means the REST call worked fine.
I'm not familiar with the product you're referring to, but it sounds like you need to specify the media type you want to get back in an Accept header of your request. I suggest you try specifying
Accept: application/json
or (being an IBM product I'm guessing XML might be preferred)
Accept: application/xml
I tried to access BPM REST api call using Chrome's Postman & REST Console plugins.
Based on my experience, sometimes I don't no why it looks like Postman will not take auth details.
But, below steps always worked for me:
1. login to BPM account in Chrome,
2. open REST Console plugin and can access REST api GET/PUT all the time.
Hope this helps. Thanks
There are two parts to this answer, the 'long story short' part and the elaborate part.
Long Story Short:
IBM BPM Cloud exposes a variety of REST APIs to interact with its BPM engine and let it be as a service or more commonly known as 'Headless BPM' or 'BPM-as-a-Service'.
These REST API calls are secured by basic authentication i.e. by username/password
For Cloud, the username and password used for the REST API is not the same as the User's credential, which the User will use for logging into IBM BPM Process Portal or website. For on-prem solution, it is the same.
For Cloud, a 'functional' username password has to be requested for (Cloud Admin can create those) and that has to be used in the service call.
For example, if you are username/password for logging into BPM Cloud is 'johndoe#gmail.com/Test123' then there will be functional credential created for this ID (say, 'somefunctionalusernamedjohn123/8jdklajl23').
We can use this credential with every reqeust but what we should do is, use these credentials in the very 1st call to BPM server, in the response of which there will be a specific 'cookie'. We should save it and re-use that in our sub-sequent calls until it expires (you'll receive appropriate http status code if you disable 'follow redirect' in your http client config).
I had to raise a PMR to get this information. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFPJS_8.6.0/com.ibm.wbpm.wle.editor.doc/topics/int_ext_services_start_process.html
Sample Java code to start a process:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://ustrial03.bpm.ibmcloud.com:443/bpm/dev/rest/bpm/wle/v1/process?
processAppId=3u092jr02j-fghjkyk.u078992c166c1&bpdId=25.jk8989-539a-4150-
b63e-ggui67868gjkgj7&action=start")
.put(null)
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
.addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
.addHeader("Connection", "keep-alive")
.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic YXJrYX242232jklkljljLmNvbTpkZWZjb240QA==")
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
.addHeader("Postman-Token", "f46c1525-899-9897-uoh89-bb2b21a57f16")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
Before finding this solution through PMR, I was desperately looking for a solution or a workaround. I noticed that my REST calls are getting redirected to an authentication page and I also noticed that, it is quite similar to what happens when you try logging into any IBM BPM Process Portal.
Once you login to IBM BPM Portal using Chrome, observe that it doesn't log you out. So I guessed the answer to be in the cookie and through trial and error, I picked up the cookie, which is PD-S-SESSIONID (named Something like that), and started using them in my service but obviously they expire in like 30-40 mins. So, I went ahead and used selenium and headless chrome to do the same thing as what I did manually. Anyway, this hack shouldn't be needed for On-Prem solution or with functional IDs for cloud.
Another very useful API wrapper which I have used in my project is:
https://github.com/egetman/ibm-bpm-rest-client. I had to make some changes to make this work with the trial account and for some other reasons.
And of course, we can't go far without the help of in-built REST API tester by IBM
e.g. https://ustrial03.bpm.ibmcloud.com/bpm/dev/bpmrest-ui/BPMRestAPITester/index.jsp
Thanks!

Occasionally 401 Unauthorized Google Cloud Message

While using Google Cloud Message API I occasionally get 401 Unauthorized status. So, sometimes my push notifications are send and sometimes not, without changing anything in the API request.
I use curl request with server key.
I tried to specify IPs list and set it to "Any IP allowed".
I already tried to create new server keys and projects, as some people here tell it helps them in similar situation. Sadly, it not helps me.
I'm seeing a similar problem with other Google Cloud APIs and I suspect it's related to your authentication being expired. Make sure to refresh any tokens you are using.
