I am working with an API that works well when consumed from Postman:
But when i try to consume it from Yii2 i get {"name":"Unauthorized","message":"Your request was made with invalid credentials.","code":0,"status":401} and i think i am sending all the headers
The authorization was made with a Bearer Token:
Don't know what i am doing wrong, thanks in advance.
I just got that i have to add my headers this way:
Was adding them the wrong way.
I'm trying to send a POST using Postman and CKAN API but I'm not sure what to include in the URL, headers and body. This is what I have tried. Can someone can help me out with the format? What to include in URL, headers and body?
In the image you can see that I send the URL without / as mention in another post but still it does not work.
I included the API key in the headers
You are trying to call the datastore_upsert action. The action URL should be
http://demo.ckan.org/api/action/datastore_upsert. In the headers tab, you should add Authorization key and the API key as a value e.g Authorization 2131238ac-32fs-4f19-8ac9-d4af5esadasd2. Then inside the body, you should add the datastore_upsert action required parameters.
I've just started using Postman to test an API I am integrating to.
I have the following error that keeps showing up
Invalid CORS request
Note the following:
The API uses Bearer token authentication(OAuth2). I have this
working without a problem.
I do get the bearer token successfully, assign it to an Environment variable and then attempt to use it for the RESTful operations.
The problem is in the subsequent RESTful operation that uses the token.
When I use an old token (through a POST operation), it rightfully
tells me that it is expired and not authorized.
When I then generate a new one and try to run the restful call, it gives me that Invalid CORS request error.
Using cURL, I have no issues. But I am frustrated by Postman.
What I have found so far:
Using postman with Http POST requests - I don't get the part in bold
Just in case anybody else has this same problem, here is how to solve
it. Go to https://www.getpostman.com/docs/capture in your chrome
browser. Click on interceptor extension and then choose add to
chrome. Once it is added there is a new icon top right of both the
browser and postman that looks like a traffic light. In postman click
this and it turns green. Then add a header to every request going to
third light. Every header consists of the header name and a value.
Start typing over the header name and a list of allowed http headers
comes up. Choose "Origin". In the cell for value simply type the
full URL of your server. (Do not forget the 'http://' or 'https://').
What is the expected response to an invalid CORS request? - Best explanation I have seen so far on CORS errors.
The other material speaks about Access-Control-Allow-Method header, preflight requests
... and there is an illustrative Apache Tomcat flowchart of the CORS flow.
Here's the answer you found again:

... With the bit in bold translated:
Then add a header to your request. The header Key should be "Origin" and the header Value should be the full URL of your server (Do not forget the http:// or https://).
Note that Chrome/Postman won't allow you to add a Header with a Key of Origin without the Interceptor plugin.
Also note that at least on my system the Interceptor icon no longer looks like a traffic light.
If your back-end service side code checks for origin of the request (just to avoid CORS attack) you may face this issues when testing your Rest API through postman.
How to Resolve this .?
You need to install a Chrome plugin called Postman Interceptor (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-interceptor/aicmkgpgakddgnaphhhpliifpcfhicfo?hl=en).
After successfully installing this plugin , in you Postman client you can see small icon called Postman Interceptor , you need to toggle it to turn it on.
Now you can add a Request header as below
RequestHeader Key "Origin"
RequestHeader Value "your application base URL"
Check this image
Now you should be able to over come CORS issues you are facing
Cheers !!
Just avoid using browser/chrome postman plugin. Use the desktop application instead!
Seems our server is seeing from a Postman manual HTTP POST that the orgin is invalid b/c its coming from Postman as "chrome-extension://fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop"
Not sure why or how to resolve on client/Postman side. Seems our server is correclty rejecting it as is though and issuing a 403.
Value of "Origin" header set in Postman request should be allowed in API backend. For example, using Spring Boot for API should have next:
#Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Value("${cors.allowedOrigins}")
private String allowedOrigins;
#Override
public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
registry.addMapping("/**")
.allowedOrigins(allowedOrigins)
.allowedMethods("*")
.allowedHeaders("*");
}
}
where allowedOrigins is set using application.properties property cors.allowedOrigins having comma separated list of allowed origins, eg:
cors.allowedOrings=http://localhost:8080,http://example.com
and set 'Origin' value in Postman to any url from cors.allowedOrigins
I was getting this error when testing my APIs on the postman. Even after meticulously configuring my cors. So I used Insomnia instead of Postman and it works fine. I guess sometimes postman is the problem as it needs some extra effort.
You can try new version of PostMan. To me it works after upgraded postman version from 5.5.5 to 7.36.5
I have a OData Server which returns me a json.
When I accessing the URL through a browser i need to input the username/password.
Doesn't accept the entries which I do in the pop-up. Need to cancel it and then it shows me a dialog box after which i can see the required json.
I am not able to figure out the kind of authentication in use.
Using basic authentication in Postman client is not working.
Any suggestions as to how do I go about using this URL both in postman and inside an Anuglar JS or Node JS program.
You can install interceptor in postman. Go to cookies tab next to body and install the interceptor then turn it on.After installing interceptor you can login with your user/pass and then send your request.
See this picture.enter image description here
Thanks for the input.
But I got access to the code implementation which is accessing the URI which I want.
So There is a Sharepoint/C# application in the universe which is doing a Forms based authentication to get the data required. :/
Will try to reverse engineer that get it working in my Node App.
Cheers. :)
I'm testing an implementation of JWT Token based security based off the following article. I have successfully received a token from the test server. I can't figure out how to have the Chrome POSTMAN REST Client program send the token in the header.
My questions are as follows:
1) Am I using the right header name and/or POSTMAN interface?
2) Do I need to base 64 encode the token? I thought I could just send the token back.
For the request Header name just use Authorization.
Place Bearer before the Token. I just tried it out and it works for me.
Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_STRING
Each part of the JWT is a base64url encoded value.
Here is an image if it helps :)
Update:
The postman team added "Bearer token" to the "authorization tab":
I am adding to this question a little interesting tip that may help you guys testing JWT Apis.
Its is very simple actually.
When you log in, in your Api (login endpoint), you will immediately receive your token, and as #mick-cullen said you will have to use the JWT on your header as:
Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_STRING
Now if you like to automate or just make your life easier, your tests you can save the token as a global that you can call on all other endpoints as:
Authorization: Bearer {{jwt_token}}
On Postman:
Then make a Global variable in postman as jwt_token = TOKEN_STRING.
On your login endpoint:
To make it useful, add on the beginning of the Tests Tab add:
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.clearGlobalVariable("jwt_token");
postman.setGlobalVariable("jwt_token", data.jwt_token);
I am guessing that your api is returning the token as a json on the response as:
{"jwt_token":"TOKEN_STRING"}, there may be some sort of variation.
On the first line you add the response to the data varibale.
Clean your Global
And assign the value.
So now you have your token on the global variable, what makes easy to use Authorization: Bearer {{jwt_token}} on all your endpoints.
Hope this tip helps.
EDIT
Something to read
About tests on Postman: testing examples
Command Line: Newman
CI: integrating with Jenkins
Nice blog post: master api test automation
Here is how to set token this automatically
On your login/auth request
Then for authenticated page
I had the same issue in Flask and after trying the first 2 solutions which are the same (Authorization: Bearer <token>), and getting this:
{
"description": "Unsupported authorization type",
"error": "Invalid JWT header",
"status_code": 401
}
I managed to finally solve it by using:
Authorization: jwt <token>
Thought it might save some time to people who encounter the same thing.
If you wish to use postman the right way is to use the headers as such
key: Authorization
value: jwt {token}
as simple as that.
Open postman.
go to "header" field.
there one can see "key value" blanks.
in key type "Authorization".
in value type "Bearer(space)your_access_token_value".
Done!
For people who are using wordpress plugin Advanced Access Manager to open up the JWT Authentication.
The Header field should put Authentication instead of Authorization
AAM mentioned it inside their documentation,
Note! AAM does not use standard Authorization header as it is skipped
by most Apache servers. ...
Hope it helps someone! Thanks for other answers helped me alot too!!
Everything else ie. Params, Authorization, Body, Pre-request Script, Tests is empty, just open the Headers tab and add as shown in image. Its the same for GET request as well.
I did as how moplin mentioned .But in my case service send the JWT in response headers ,as a value under the key "Authorization".
Authorization →Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJpbWFsIiwiZXhwIjoxNDk4OTIwOTEyfQ.dYEbf4x5TGr_kTtwywKPI2S-xYhsp5RIIBdOa_wl9soqaFkUUKfy73kaMAv_c-6cxTAqBwtskOfr-Gm3QI0gpQ
What I did was ,make a Global variable in postman as
key->jwt
value->blahblah
in login request->Tests Tab, add
postman.clearGlobalVariable("jwt");
postman.setGlobalVariable("jwt", postman.getResponseHeader("Authorization"));
in other requests select the Headers tab and give
key->Authorization
value->{{jwt}}
Somehow postman didn't work for me.
I had to use a chrome extension called RESTED which did work.
In Postman latest version(7++) may be there is no Bearer field in Authorization
So go to Header tab
select key as Authorization and in value write JWT
x-access-token on headers works for me.
key: x-access-token
value: token
