I'm able to get a list of gists and their files https://api.git.mygithub.net/users/myuser/gists?per_page=100&page=1 which I found using the docs here: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team#latest/rest/reference/gists#get-a-gist
The files on the gist object have a raw_url. If I fetch the raw_url with the same token, it fails wanting me to authenticate. If I add the header: Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw it returns a 406 Not Acceptable. I've references to that header around.
I'm not sure what the scope should be on the token. It seems like it would be the same one I accessed the API. In the UI if you click the raw file it gets a token appended to the url. That token doesn't look like one of the Private tokens mentioned here: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team#latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token
So what is the format of the HTTP request to download the raw gist?
The raw url needs to have the hostname of gist. changed to raw. and the url path needs to start with /gist/.
Example code in Go fixing it:
url := gistFile.RawUrl
url = strings.Replace(url, "gist.", "raw.", 1)
url = strings.Replace(url, ".net/", ".net/gist/", 1)

I am using ABCPdf 11 to convert html to pdf, my html page which needs to be converted required JWT token so that needs to be passed to ABCChrome so it can use the JWT token.
I have tried the following but the auth still fails:
doc.HtmlOptions.HttpAdditionalHeaders = $"Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}";
I followed example from here: https://www.websupergoo.com/helppdfnet/default.htm?page=source%2F5-abcpdf%2Fxhtmloptions%2F2-properties%2Fhttpadditionalheaders.htm
From the description in the above URL, I have also tried the below options:
doc.HtmlOptions.NoCookie = true;
doc.HtmlOptions.Media = MediaType.Screen;
After adding HttpAdditionalHeaders and when I get the http status from the pdf library I do get 401 http status code which confirms the
var imageId = doc.AddImageUrl(model.Url);
var status = doc.HtmlOptions.ForChrome.GetHttpStatusCode(imageId);
The status here is 401 - unauthorized
The HttpAdditionalHeaders property is not currently supported by the ABCChrome Engine. The only HtmlOptions supported by ABCChrome are specified here.
There are a few things you could try:
Check whether the target server supports sending the web token via GET request parameters - I guess you've probably done this already :-)
Make the AddImageUrl request URL to an intermediary web server (even a local HttpServer) to a script which can fetch the page for you based on any GET parameters.
If the service you are attempting to access accepts ajax requests you could try using javascript to inject the response into a page using XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader(). NB if you use a local file (e.g. file://) for this you may come across some Chromium enforced JavaScript security issues.
I do know that WebSupergoo offer free support for all their licenses, including trial licenses.
Good luck.
Emailed ABCPdf support and unfortunately ABCChrome does not support HttpAdditionalHeaders property so the work around is to download the html ourselves and convert that to PDF, see example below:
var imageId = doc.AddImageHtml(html); // <- html downloaded from auth url
Also don't forget to add paging:
// add all pages to pdf
while (doc.Chainable(imageId))
{
doc.Page = doc.AddPage();
imageId = doc.AddImageToChain(imageId);
}
for (int i = 1; i <= doc.PageCount; i++)
{
doc.PageNumber = i;
doc.Flatten();
}
I need to fire some requests using Postman but I need to include the parameter in the URL.
What I need:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/RanDOMid
What I currently can configure in Postman:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/?id=RanDOMid
I do not control the server, so I need to work it out how to craft the request in Postman to accept the input data as part of the URL, not as parameter. How can I specify input data in Postman to get it included in URL?
Click on Manage Environment
Add variable as path with Initial and current value as RanDOMid
Add path to URL:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{path}}
#User7294900's answer should do for you in case all you want to do is include a variable in your request URL.
However, if you want to actually generate a random ID for every request, you may use {{$guid}} or {{$randomInt}} directly in you URL as follows:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$guid}}
This will generate a random GUID every time your request is fired and the generated GUID will replace {{$guid}} in your URL.
or
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$randomInt}}
This will generate a random integer between 0 and 1000 every time your request is fired and the generated integer will replace {{$randomInt}} in your URL.
Refer postman documentation for more details - https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/environments_and_globals/variables
Hope this helps!
When I create a share link in the UI with the "Anyone with this link can view this item" option, I get a URL that looks like https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=XXX!YYYY&authkey=!ZZZZZ&ithint=<contentType>. What I can't figure out is how to use this URL from code to download the content of the file. Hitting the link gives HTML for a page to show the file.
How can I construct a call to download the file? Also, is there a way to construct a call to get some (XML/JSON) metadata about the file, and maybe even a preview or something? I want to be able to do this all without prompting a user for credentials, and all the API docs are about how to make authenticated calls. I want to make anonymous calls to get publicly-shared files.
Have a read over https://dev.onedrive.com - it documents how you can make a query to our service to get the metadata for an item, along with URLs that can be used to directly download the content.
Update with more details
Sorry, the documentation you need for your specific scenario is still in process (along with the associated SDK changes) so I'll give you an overview of how to do it.
There's a sibling to the /drives path called /shares which accepts a sharing URL (such as the one you have above) in an encoded format and allows you to get metadata for the item it represents. This does not require authentication provided the sharing URL has a valid authkey.
The encoding scheme for the id is u!<UrlSafeBase64EncodedUrl>, where <UrlSafeBase64EncodedUrl> follows the guidelines outlined here (trim the = characters from the end).
Here's a snippet that should give you an idea of the whole process:
string originalUrl = "https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=XXX!YYYY&authkey=!foo";
byte[] urlAsUtf8Bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(originalUrl);
string utf8BytesAsBase64String = Convert.ToBase64String(urlAsUtf8Bytes);
string encodedUrl = "u!" + utf8BytesAsBase64String.TrimEnd('=').Replace('/', '_').Replace('+', '-');
string metadataUrl = "https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/" + encodedUrl + "/root";
From there you can append /content if you want to get the contents of the file, or you can start navigating through if the URL represents a folder (e.g. /children/childfile.txt)
I am still new to javascript and trying to write a Slackbot in express js. I want to use the method defined in https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.history. How should this look syntacticly and how do I use it since the method is simply a URL?
You need to make an http request for the URL and you'll be returned a response with an object containing the status (ok:true|false), if there are more messages (has_more:true|false), and then an array of the actual messages (messages:array).
The response should look something like this:
{
has_more:true
messages:Array[100]
ok:true
}
The url that you make the get request to should look something like:
https://slack.com/api/channels.history?token=BOT_TOKEN&channel=CHANNEL_ID&pretty=1
Where BOT_TOKEN is the token attached to the bot you created, and CHANNEL_ID is the ID (not the name) of the channel whos history you want to get (9 uppercase alphanumeric characters, starts with a "C").
There are also a few other parameters you can include in the url. For example, "latest=", "oldest=", "inclusive=", "count=", and "unreads=". Details about those parameters can be found on the page you linked to (https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.history).
If you want to test it out in your browser's console, find a page where jQuery is loaded, open your dev tools and head into the console, and enter the following (with your bot token and channel id swapped in):
$.get('https://slack.com/api/channels.history?token=BOT_TOKEN&channel=CHANNEL_ID&pretty=1', function(response){console.log(response)});
Via the Fogbugz REST API I try to get all articles with a certain tag. I wrote some code in python to get it but I got "zero" as result. Here is my code:
import requests
...
some code to log in
...
req_params={"cmd": "search", "token": self.token,"q":"tag:\"my_cool_tag\""}
response = requests.get(req_url, data=req_body, headers=req_header, params=req_params, verify=False)
print (response.text)
as response I got:
...cases count="0"...
Is there a way to get all articles with a certain tag in a list via REST-API and how I can achieve this?
I am using FogBugz Version 8.8.49.0.
Try the search with curl or directly in your web browser to check that it works, then see if you can debug your Python.
In a browser I can successfully query FogBugz Online with something like:
https://<domain>.fogbugz.com/api.asp?token=<token>&cmd=search&q=tag:%22<my_tag>%22
Although I entered quotes around my tag, the browser url encoded them to %22. Obviously <domain>, <token> and <my_tag> should be replaced with your own values.
Your basic parameters look OK, but I haven't used Python so am not sure whether escaping the quotes around the tag translates well to the GET request? Maybe try url encoding "my_cool_tag".
