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.

Created azure logic app HTTP request it gives response for normal JSON schema However, I want to attach SharePoint excel sheet when I trigger the request from Postman.
1.How to used content type or schema to download the attached file. when postman request sent.
2.is that possible to download when you hit API through logic app
3.Generated HTTP POST URL is working
For your requirement, I test it in my side. It seems we do not need to set any value for "Content-Type" in headers of response. Please refer to my logic app below:
Then when you request the logic app url in postman, please choose "Send and Download" instead of "Send".
After that, you can download the file when request the url in postman.
I'm using a jwt based authentication system and I'd like to ensure that google sends this token back in the header. Is there anyway to give google custom headers to send back to a server?
Not in the header, but you can use the state param to include it in the URL.
I am trying to use the Cloudcontrol REST API.
Has anybody used that API? I did not find out how to authenticate.
As an example, I tried https://api.devcctrl.com/app/APPMNAME/deployment/default/error/
I found : https://api.devcctrl.com/doc/#Token but I don't understand how exactly to use it.
An example would be great.
What I really want to do: I want to deploy an app using REST API. I cannot use the CLI tools due to missing python installation.
Thanks
Mike
First, in order to get the token, you need to send a HTTP POST request to api.cloudcontrol.com/token/using Basic Authentication using the email and password of your cloudControl account. You will get a JSON response like this:
{"token": "<TOKEN_KEY>"}'
You need this token key to authenticate for all other requests to the API. To do so, add an Authorization Header to your request with this content:
Authorization -> "cc_auth_token="<TOKEN_KEY>""
Furthermore, you might also need to set up some other headers for PUT or POST requests, like:
Content-Type -> "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Content-Length -> <length of your parametrized url values, e.g. bar=baz&foo=qux>
Accept-Encoding -> "compress, gzip"
You can find examples of this usage in the pycclib (Python) or gocclib (Go) libraries.
I'm using the Instagram API.
I'm trying a simple post for a subscription request, and I keep getting
"Invalid format for 'callback_url'. URL must start with http:// or
https://".
It clearly starts with that.
I can't find anyone online that's running into this same problem.
Tried the post with a clear callback url:
http://api.instagram.com/v1/subscriptions/?client_id={client_id}&client_secret={secret}&object=tag&aspect=media&object_id=skateboarding&callback_url=http://skateparkoftampa.com/spot/instagram_callback.aspx
And with an HTML encoded callback URL:
http://api.instagram.com/v1/subscriptions/?client_id={client_id}&client_secret={secret}&object=tag&aspect=media&object_id=skateboarding&callback_url=http%3A%2F%2Fskateparkoftampa.com%2Fspot%2Finstagram_callback.aspx
Also tried it with both GET and POST, also by letting the API console create the request by simply filling in the parameters fields, etc. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious or something, but I'm stuck. Any ideas?
As sais on Endpoints page:
All endpoints are only accessible via https
You should use your own CLIENT-ID and SECRET-ID and callback url (so don't use API console).
Your callback url may be without https.
Just use link with https:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/subscriptions/
Try examples from this page
You should use POST request to subscribe and unsubscribe, and GET to get list of subscriptions. Please, read documentation accurately.
I'm using Restler's API Explorer (a fork of Swagger UI) and when I test a service call there it works fine but when I cut and paste the same URL into Chrome's Advanced REST Client I get a "403 Forbidden" error. How can that be? Is there some sort of required header parameter that needs to be passed with the request?
Here are the screen shots:
You need to get the content type right. Make sure you are sending the data as JSON (application/json)
You need to add a header
Content-Type application/json
