I'm trying to figure out how to download a PDF from the BOE restful API.
I've been following the answer from ƘɌỈSƬƠƑ here:
SAP BI Open Doc URL for retrieving pdf
I was able to accomplish step 1 (getting the token).
But on the second step, it mentions using the documentID.
e.g.
/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743/parameters
On the front end of BOE, if I click on the report, and choose Properties, it shows me that the "ID/CUID" is:
ID, CUID:746001, AdgNq_GsaqhOqnzc4gRN_Jg
Does that mean the "DocumentID" is 746001?
I'm not sure if I'm using the correct ID, because when I hit:
/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/746001/parameters
I get:
<error>
<error_code>100</error_code>
<message>Rule not respected (Argument 'reportIds' must not be null)</message>
</error>
You don't need to obtain prompt information (/parameters endpoint).
I think you are using the correct ID since the error is on the report. You obtain a 404 Not Found response status, if the document does not exist.
After a successful login, simply call /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743 and add to your request an header with name Accept and value application/pdf. Of course the X-SAP-LogonToken should also be provided.
It will export the whole document. If you only need a specific report, you need to retrieve its ID first. Call the URI /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743/reports with Accept header equals to application/json.
Choose one of the report, and get its ID (for example, in my case reportID equals 1234). Then you can export the report as a PDF by calling the URI: /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743/reports/1234 with Accept header equals to application/pdf.

I am performing a search request in jmeter. So my test plan flow is home then login then product catalogue and then search. I tried to make a post request for search but it failing all the time. I used a CSV file so each time the query is changed. But then I used a get request and used the query variable in the search path like this search?query=${search_input}and then it passed but when i checked the html it is not the correct page. In the html response I also see this
{{noSearchResults.query}}'. But if i put the url on the browser it works fine. Can you please help me with this?
Double check that your ${search_input} variable has the anticipated value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
It might be the case that your ${search_input} variable contains special characters which need to be URL-encoded so you might need to wrap the variable into __urlencode() function like:
search?query=${__urlencode(${search_input})}
JMeter automatically treats responses with status code below 400 as successful, if you need to add an extra layer of check for presence of the results or absence of {{noSearchResults.query}} - use Response Assertion
I would like to extract raw report results within the CloudConnect process.
So far I have managed to get response from the raw report API end point - https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/{project_id}/execute/raw/
This response contains URI to the file and if I put that URI to browser, file is uploaded.
I have tried passing this URI to the following readers without success:
CSV Reader produces the following error:
------------------- Error details ------------------
Component [CSV Reader:CSV_READER] finished with status ERROR.
Parsing error: Unexpected end of file in record 1, field 1 ("date"),
metadata "outOfStock";
value: Raw record data is not available, please turn on verbose mode.
File Download - I don't know how to pass the URI through the port to "URL to Downlaod" parameter.
HTTP Connector again I don't see how to pass URI from the port.
What is the way to do this?
EDIT
If I use the HTTP Connector as suggested by #Filip, I get the following error:
Error details:
Component [HTTP connector:HTTP_CONNECTOR] finished with status ERROR. hostname in
certificate didn't match: xxx.com != secure.gooddata.com OR secure.gooddata.com
I have tried setting header to X-GDC-CHECK-DOMAIN: false with no effect.
The HTTP connector is the right component to go with. Leave the URL property empty and use the component’s property called “Input mapping”, where in the graphic editor you can assign the input edge field to the URL field.
Solution from GoodData support:
HTTP connector can be also used, but it is very complex, because
logging in to GoodData has to be created. REST connector has it built
in.
If you want to run the example graph, you have to be logged in in
CloudConnect with a user who has access to the project from where you
would like to export the report. You also have to change URL to
the one of white-labeled account in both REST connector components and change project
and report definition in the first REST connector.
So the graph that works looks like this:
Here are the main fields that you will need to set for each element:
Get Results URI - set params for POST request:
Request URL = https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/execute/raw/
Request Body =
{
"report_req": {
"reportDefinition": "gdc/md/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/obj/${OBJECT_ID}"
}
}
Get URI from Response - just map uri value to corresponding field:
<Mapping cloverField="uri" xpath="uri"/>
Load Results - make sure it is connected to metadata with two fields, one for response with data, other to pass through the uri.
Load Results - you will need to exclude uri field to process the data:
Exclude Fields = uri
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 newbie to jmeter. I am trying to test to login to my site say (example.com/session/new).
I have added the http cookie manager and 2 http request defaults.
In the first, am visiting example.com/session/new and extracting the authenticity token in the response data using regex meta content="(.+?)"name="csrf-token" . Now, in the second http request, I have a post request with the parameters as
name:utf value:(tickmark)
name :authenticity_token value: ${token}
name:email value:test#test.com
name:password value:test.
name:commit value:Sign In
And then am asserting for a text post login.
When I run the test, the assertion fails. as it results in 404.
In the request, I can see utf8=%E2%9C%93+&authenticity_token=%24%7Btoken%7D&email=test%40test.com&password=test&commit=Sign+In. Please help me fix this.
I know this is an old post, but I've been struggling with this exact same query, so I've decided to post my answer in case it helps anyone - it worked first time for me. So after requesting the login page for my site, the following csrf token is embedded in the html response;
<input type="hidden" name="csrfToken" value="fe5a48ebda7b98cbbf885b4a220ebe0c23b11125-1459096615520-1ac64aa945986cb1bd318d9c"/>
So when making the initial request for the login page, instead of using a Regular Expression Extractor, if the token is in the body of the HTML response, use an XPath Extractor instead.
If your response is not XML/XHTML compliant then tick the 'use tidy' checkbox.
For reference name add the reference you wish to refer to the token as e.g. token. When you add your parameters to the login request, you can then refer to your csrfToken as ${token}
Then for X-Path query use;
//input[#name="csrfToken"]/#value
The following tutorial shows you how to use a Regular Expression Extractor, but it should also help you to understand how to set up the query a bit more;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVxB3Tk4O4A&feature=iv&src_vid=hGkrSFKcj10&annotation_id=annotation_85358
Looks like you did every thing good , except correlation . After decoding your error url , I found that you correlation is not working . Below is the decoding URL "utf8=✓ &authenticity_token=${token}&email=test#test.com&password=test&commit=Sign In."
In your "Regular expression extractor" add below details
1. Reference Name:token
2. Regular Expression : name="csrfToken" value="(.+?)"
3. Template : $1$
4. Match No: 1
Note: Check the occurrences of "csrfToken", if you required first occurrence then enter 1 , if you required 2nd occurrence enter 2 ....etc.
I'm trying to use the http://Astrid.com API, specifically to get data using the method under the "Request Format" section on this page - http://astrid.com/apidoc/file.README.html
The URL I built is:
https://astrid.com/api/7/task_list?app_id=[MY APP ID]&time=1&user_id=[MY USER ID]&sig=[MY REQUEST SIGNATURE]
And it returns this:
{"list":[],"time":1363131562,"status":"success"}
Seems like it worked, but does anyone know why the "list" array might be returning empty? I've created a bunch of tasks in my profile so it should be showing those.
Thanks!
You need to sign in first with the method user_signin. If successful you get a token.
Then you need to call the task_list method providing the token.
You do not need to provide a user id with the task_list method. It is only used to select tasks that you share with this user.
Example for signing in:
https://astrid.com/api/7/user_signin?provider=password&app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&secret=YOUR_ASTRID_PASSWORD&sig=SIGNATURE&time=1365715302.36&email=YOUR_EMAIL
Example for getting your tasks:
https://astrid.com/api/7/task_list?active=true&token=THE_TOKEN&sig=SIGNATURE&app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&time=1365715304.41
