I am trying to write a really simple test in Postman. I have two URL and first url get some XML file and then store this in Postman varible as a pre script section.
After that second URL uses this response and send a another request for Post.
but after getting result from xml successfully , somehow postman does not pass this request and gives 400.
pm.environment.set('RandomNumber', "cot"+Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000));
pm.sendRequest("https://test/metadata.xml", function (err, response) {
pm.environment.set('**RandomURLText**', response.text());
});
RandomURLText varible store the value of first request.
Second request body params looks like below code .
**{
"idPType": "Test",
"dontShowProgress": true,
"dontIncludeRequestedAuthnContext": true,
"nameIDFormat": "run:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient",
"sigAlg": "http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-a",
"metadata": {
"idpXml": "{{RandomURLText}}"
}
}**
is there any function postman who can transform this xml response data. Because second request say 400 when it add xml type data. But when I just replaced this responsetext to hello then its works.
That's means something is wrong in xml type data , may be escape chars.
could someone help me on this?
Thanks
found answer myself, its working.
Just need to parse into string and need to removed quote from body.
pm.environment.set('RandomURLText', JSON.stringify(response.text()));
**{
"idPType": "Test",
"dontShowProgress": true,
"dontIncludeRequestedAuthnContext": true,
"nameIDFormat": "run:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient",
"sigAlg": "http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-a",
"metadata": {
"idpXml": {{RandomURLText}}
}
}**
Thanks

I'm trying to send a POST request to the server, this post requires parameters "email" and "password".
but I don't know how to specify parameters, I read the documentation but I didn't understand.
this is my code:
val request=client.post<String> {
url(BASE_URL+"login.php")
body="email=$email,password=$password"
}
fwiw I use something like following here....though I would have thought specifying url like you do should also work. What issue do you see? The body might also be some json for example, or maybe a data class etc if you have serialization setup.
response = client.post(url) {
body = "some params/data etc"
}
It should work if you use serialization, but I solved my problem by using 'Uploading multipart/form-data'
val request=client.post(url) {
body=MultiPartFormDataContent(formData {
append("email","data")
append("password","data")
})
}
see Documentation
I have implemented GET request in API Gateway and its working fine but today I get a name in which '+' sign is there so does anyone has any idea that .../score?team=name+with+sign is not working where as ..../score?team-with-dashes works perfectly fine.
Content type of request is application/json.
Here is Body Mapping Template (application/json)
{
"body" : $input.json('$'),
"headers": {
#foreach($header in $input.params().header.keySet())
"$header": "$util.escapeJavaScript($input.params().header.get($header))" #if($foreach.hasNext),#end
#end
},
"method": "$context.httpMethod",
"params": {
#foreach($param in $input.params().path.keySet())
"$param": "$util.escapeJavaScript($input.params().path.get($param))" #if($foreach.hasNext),#end
#end
},
"query": {
#foreach($queryParam in $input.params().querystring.keySet())
"$queryParam": "$util.escapeJavaScript($input.params().querystring.get($queryParam))" #if($foreach.hasNext),#end
#end
}
}
Is this something related to URL Query String Parameters or something else?
The + character in a query parameter is a special character. It is the replacement character for a space character.
So if the client intends to send .../score?team=name with spaces, then the client may encode the URL as .../score?team=name+with+spaces. It may also encode it as .../score?team=name%20with%20spaces.
This means that on the server-side, the parameter should be unencoded with the + converted back to spaces.
If you truely want a + character in your query parameter value, then you must encode it as %2B, such as .../score?team=name%2Bwith%2Bsign.
I have a POST request where i need to pass some parameters dynamically since my code is checking for a duplicate entry. I tried writing a pre request script and then setting the global variables and tried to access it in my request. It is not working. PFB, the details
Pre-request Script
postman.setGlobalVariable("firstname", (text + parseInt(Math.random()*10000)).toString());
postman.setGlobalVariable("lastname", text + parseInt(Math.random()*10000));
Body
{
"request":
{
"firstName":"{{firstname}}",
"middleName":"mani",
"lastName":"{{lastname}}"
}
}
Here firstName is getting passed as {{firstname}} instead of random string.
You ca do it by adding
var rnd = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000) + 1);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("firstname", "fname"+rnd);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("lastname", "lname"+rnd);
in the Pre-request Script section.
And then adding
{
"firstName":"{{firstname}}",
"middleName":"mani",
"lastName":"{{lastname}}"
}
in the body.
I tried it in both Postman and Newman and is working perfectly generating a random first name and last name.
{
"request": {
"firstName":"{{$randomInt}}",
"middleName":"mani",
"lastName":"{{$randomInt}}"
}
}
No need to add global variables.
Postman have dynamic variable {{$randomInt}} which Adds a random integer between 0 and 1000
I am trying to do a domain availability search using an API from free domain API.
After i create an account, it shows:
**Make a REST request using this URL:**
http://freedomainapi.com/?key=11223344&domain=freedomainapi.com
And looking in the documentation page, it has only:
Request http://freedomainapi.com?key=YOUR_API_KEY&domain=DOMAIN_NAME
Result:
{
"status": "success",
"domain": "freedomainapi.com",
"available": false
}
I am very new to APIs...
What I need is to show a domain search box, and when the user enters, it should return with result.
It claims to show domain suggestions as well. I hope it will also work.
Using jquery and a jsonp proxy
http://jsfiddle.net/mp8pukbm/1/
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: "https://jsonp.nodejitsu.com/?callback=?",
data: {url: 'http://freedomainapi.com?key=14ejhzc5h9&domain=freedomainapi.com'},
dataType: "jsonp",
success: myfn
});
function myfn(data) {
console.log(data);
}
you have to use the proxy because cross domain json is not permitted
EDIT:
i made an update to show the result in a div (stringified)
http://jsfiddle.net/mp8pukbm/2/
EDIT #2: i created a test key on that site, you have to use your own
EDIT #3: and there's your combo: http://jsfiddle.net/mp8pukbm/4/
Assuming that you will use java script for showing the search box, you can use AJAX feature of java script (or jQuery or Dojo) ... All you need to do is a "GET" request that like you can pasted and you will get the result back on the response object. To try out the API you can use "Postman" application in Chrome. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-rest-client/fdmmgilgnpjigdojojpjoooidkmcomcm?hl=en
In the response object of the AJAX call you will get a JSON object which you can parse and display the result.
Normally when we use REST we need to differentiate one REST call from another.
Assuming this url
http://freedomainapi.com/checkAvailability?key=YOUR_API_KEY&domain=DOMAIN_NAME
In Application layer we need to write an interface
#GET
#Path("/checkAvailability")
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public ReturnObject getDomainAvailability(#QueryParam("key") String key,
#QueryParam("domain") String doaminName );
Once interface is done you need to write your implementation class.
This class will intract with business layer and perform search task and based on
result collected will create ReturnObject.
ReturnObject => will contain status, domain and availability
On screen
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'root/checkAvailability',
success: function(jsonData)
{
// read json and perform operation
}
,
error: function (error)
{
// handle error
}
});
If you are using JAVA as backend then you can use gson to parse the result, which is a json. After parsing you can read the values from result and display accordingly :)
Any API is a way to extend a given software. (Might be a website or an application)
In both ways there is a certain way to communicate with the software. In your example freedomainapi.com allows you to fetch if given domain is avaiable. There is no such thing as a suggestion tho, atleast i cannot find any suggestions at all.
Given output is a message format know as JSON. It can be easily interpreted by many major Languages such as Java, Javascript and PHP.
Given String might be easily interpreted as a Map consisting of a status (String), a domain (string) and avaiable (boolean)
A domain availability search could not be easier, assuming K is your key, D is your search input (Domain):
Download http://freedomainapi.com/checkAvailability?key=K&domain=D as input
Parse JSON from input as json
return json["status"] == "success" and json["avaiable"]
Depending on your language you might need to use methods to access properties of json, but that does not influence the basic usage of this api.
on user enters, it calls click_button function and I am assuming your result displaying div id is "main_container" you can give domain suggestions by passing related DOMAIN_NAME s as arguments to click_button function
function click_button(DOMAIN_NAME){
$.ajax({
url : 'http://freedomainapi.com?key=YOUR_API_KEY&domain=DOMAIN_NAME',
type: 'GET',
crossDomain: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(data) {
data=JSON.parse(data);
if(data['available']){
$('#main_container').html($('#main_container').html()+'<br>'+DOMAIN_NAME+': Available');
else{
$('#main_container').html($('#main_container').html($('#main_container').html()+'<br>'+DOMAIN_NAME+': Not Available');
}//success
});//ajax
}
hope it helpful !
I am trying to use UlrFetch to submit CSV data to Zoho reports. I am using the following code:
function doImport(tabla,file) {
var url="https://reportsapi.zoho.com/api/xxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyy/"+tabla;
var ticket="zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" ;//getTicket();
url=url + "?ZOHO_ACTION=IMPORT&ZOHO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=XML&ZOHO_ERROR_FORMAT=json&ZOHO_API_VERSION=1.0"
var params={"ZOHO_API_KEY":"vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv"
,"ticket":ticket
,"ZOHO_FILE":file
,"ZOHO_IMPORT_TYPE":"APPEND"
,"ZOHO_ON_IMPORT_ERROR":"ABORT"
,"ZOHO_AUTO_IDENTIFY":"true"
,"ZOHO_CREATE_TABLE":"false"
,"ZOHO_DATE_FORMAT":"dd-MM-YYYY"
,"ZOHO_DELIMITER":"0"
};
var options =
{
"method" : "post",
"payload" : params,
"contentType": "multipart/form-data"
};
var response=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var tableDataString=response.getContentText();
expireTicket(ticket);
Logger.log(tableDataString);
return tableDataString;
}
However, the data is not submitted in correct multiform format (getting error 500 status). This issue backtracks to early 2011. Please, one or two examples of how to submit blob files in multipart/form-data format would be welcome.
Thanks
For payload, you are passing it as an Object, which looks correct. This will be interpreted as an HTTP form (which you want).
To fix your script, try the following:
Make sure the value you're using for ZOHO_FILE is a Blob. This makes sure the HTTP form will automatically be sent with:Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=[automatically determined]
Do not specify contentType for the HTTP POST. This allows UrlFetchApp to automatically use its own contentType value, which includes the boundary field. (Minor detail: It's ok to still specify contentType on the Blob itself, just not the overall post request. This allows specifying the contentType of each Blob within the post, if that interests you.)
UrlFetchApp will use multipart/form-data encoding automatically if you pass a Blob as a payload value. You may need to use:
"ZOHO_FILE": file.getBlob()
