I am attempting to POST to the Converge Demo API and I am getting a 4000 error. Message is "The VirtualMerchant ID was not supplied in the authorization request."
I am using axios inside Vuex. I am attempting to make the post from Vuex for now since it's demo. I am throwing it up https with TLSv1.2_2018.
Here's the simplified version of the code I am using.
let orderDetails = {
ssl_merchant_id:'******',
ssl_user_id:'***********',
ssl_pin: '****...',
ssl_transaction_type: 'ccsale',
ssl_amount: '5.47',
ssl_card_number: '4124939999999990',
ssl_cvv2cvc2: '123',
ssl_exp_date: '1219',
ssl_first_name: 'No Named Man',
ssl_test_mode: true
}
let orderJSON = JSON.stringify(orderDetails)
let config = {
headers: {
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE, GET',
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
}
axios.post('https://api.demo.convergepay.com/VirtualMerchantDemo/process.do', orderJSON, config)
.then(res => {
console.log('res', res.data)
})
.catch(e => {
console.log('e', e)
})
Has anyone solved this and/or able to share some wisdom?
I think you are sending the values the wrong way and that's why you receive the message of a missing parameter. The endpoing process.do expects to receive a key value pairs formatted request
ssl_merchant_id=******&ssl_user_id=***********&ssl_pin=****&ssl_transaction_type=ccsale&ssl_amount=5.47&ssl_card_number=4124939999999990&ssl_cvv2cvc2=123&ssl_exp_date=1219&ssl_first_name=No Named Man&ssl_test_mode=true
From Converge website (https://developer.elavon.com)
Converge currently supports two different ways to integrate:
Key value pairs formatted request using process.do (for a single transaction) or processBatch.do (for a batch file) with the following
syntax: ssl_name_of_field = value of field (example: ssl_amount =
1.00)
Or
XML formatted request using processxml.do (for a single transaction) or accountxml.do (for a Admin request), the transaction
data formatted in XML syntax must include all supported transaction
elements nested between one beginning and ending element , the
data is contained within the xmldata variable.

API runs locally(and in future in a circleCI container) so I don't need to stub responses, only real requests and real responses.
When I send a POST request, it creates an event and returns a big response body containing a unique ID.
I need to store that unique ID somewhere(as env variable, json or worst case scenario a const) so that I can access and use it in UPDATE request later and in the end in DELETE request to delete that Event from the system.
Is there a way to do this?
There is a way to retrieve that ID from the DB, but I really don't want to do it that way
You can save the unique ID in the fixture file and then later update or read from it:
cy.request({
method: 'POST',
url: '/someurl',
}).then((resp) => {
// Expect success response
expect(resp.status).to.eq(200)
//Write Unique ID to a fixture file
cy.writeFile('cypress/fixtures/testdata.json', {
"id": resp.uniqueID
})
})
If you want to update the value of the Unique ID, you can do something like this:
cy.readFile("cypress/fixtures/testdata.json", (err, data) => {
if (err) {
return console.error(err);
};
}).then((data) => {
data.id = newUniqueID //save the New Value of Unique ID
cy.writeFile("cypress/fixtures/testdata.json", JSON.stringify(data)) //Write it to the fixtures file
})
I'm trying to insert data to my Wix collection using the API. I'm using a POST function and am posting a JSON document. It's supposed to simply add a new row to a database containing 1 value.
Here is the http-functions.js which I can trigger without issues (it's more or less a copy of the example from the documentation):
import {created, serverError} from 'wix-http-functions';
import wixData from 'wix-data';
export function post_peopleCount(request) {
let options = {
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
};
// get the request body
return request.body.text()
.then( (body) => {
// insert the item in a collection
return wixData.insert("NumberOfPeopleDB", JSON.parse(body));
} )
.then( (results) => {
options.body = {
"inserted": results
};
return created(options);
} )
// something went wrong
.catch( (error) => {
options.body = {
"error": error
};
return serverError(options);
} );
}
The database looks like this:
and the JSON I am posting looks like this:
But the Error I am getting is:
But the permissions I have set for the collection is:
Do you know why I might be getting that "WD_PERMISSION_DENIED" and 500 Server Error? (The data does not get entered.)
Thanks!
My friend, its not related to creating a collection from scratch it is because of the permissions set to this collection once created. You fixed that by not noticing :).
Permission need to be given in order to perform such queries.
It turns out, if I create a new collection (= table) from scratch, it works. I also changed the field value in the collection to people, maybe value is a reserved term. Nevertheless, now it seems to work:
So if you run into the same problem: Try recreating the collections from scratch.
The critical thing for me which has not been mentioned yet is that you need to set the collection to have form-like permissions so that anyone has permission to submit data to the collection.
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 !
JavaScript
For example, I have the following JavaScript code (Dojo 1.6 is already loaded):
dojo.require("dojo.io.script")
// PART I
var jsonpArgs = {
url: "http://myapp.appspot.com/query",
content: {
id: "1234",
name: "Juan",
start_date: "2000-01-01",
callback: "recover"
}
};
// PART II
dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs).then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
// PART III
function recover(data) {
console.log(data);
}
Direct query from browser
I understand that my server will receive the query as though I typed the following into the address bar:
http://myapp.appspot.com/query?id=1234&name=Juan&start_date=2000-01-01&callback=recover
Expected response
If I directly queried my server using the browser address bar, I'll receive, in MIME type application/json and plaintext rendered in browser, something like this:
recover(
{
id: 1234,
name: Juan,
data: [
["2000-01-01", 1234],
["2000-01-02", 5678]
]
}
);
Problem
Now, looking back at Part II of the JavaScript, I'd execute the JSONP request with dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs). This returns a Deferred object, which I can take advantage of by chaining .then after it. Note that I defined the handler for the .then event to output that captured data to the console.
However, all I get in the console is an Event. I tried to search its data tree, but I could not find the data I expected.
Question
Where is the response for a JSONP request stored? How do I find it?
My server (which I control) only outputs a plaintext rendering of the data requested, wrapped in the callback function (here specified as recover), and specifies a application/json MIME type. Is there anything else I need to set up on my server, so that the response data is captured by the Deferred object?
Attempted solution
I can actually recover the response by defining the callback function (in this case recover in Part III of the JavaScript). However, in the Dojo tutorials, they just recovered the data using the Deferred (and .then) framework. How do I do it using Dojo Deferreds?
Update (using the Twitter example from Dojo tutorial)
Take for example this script from the Dojo tutorial, Getting Jiggy With JSONP. I edited it to log data to the console.
dojo.require("dojo.io.script");
dojo.io.script.get({
url: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json",
callbackParamName: "callback",
content: {q: "#dojo"}
}).then(function(data){
//we're only interested in data.results, so strip it off and return it
console.log(data); // I get an Object, not an Event, but no Twitter data when browsing the results property
console.log(data.results) // I get an array of Objects
return data.results;
});
For console.log(data), I get an Object, not an Event as illustrated by my case. Since the example implies that the data resides in data.results, I also try to browse this tree, but I don't see my expected data from Twitter. I'm at a loss.
For console.log(data.results), I get an array of Objects. If I query Twitter directly, this is what I'd get in plaintext. Each Object contains the usual tweet meta-data like username, time, user portrait, and the tweet itself. Easy enough.
This one hits me right on the head. The handler for the .then chain, an anonymous function, receives only one argument data. But why is it that the results property in console.log(data) and the returned object I get from console.log(data.results) are different?
I got it.
Manual callback implementation
function recover(data) {
console.log(data);
}
var jsonpArgs = {
url: "http://myapp.appspot.com/query",
content: {
id: "1234",
name: "Juan",
start_date: "2000-01-01",
callback: "recover"
};
dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs);
This is the request that my server will receive:
http://myapp.appspot.com/query?id=1234&name=Juan&start_date=2000-01-01&callback=recover
In this case, I'll expect the following output from my server:
recover({
id: 1234,
name: Juan,
data: [
["2000-01-01", 1234],
["2000-01-02", 5678]
]
});
Three things to note:
Server will expect callback in the query URL string. callback is implemented as a property of jsonpArgs.
Because I specified callback=recover, my server will attach recover( + the_data_I_need + ), returns the whole string to the browser, and browser will execute recover(the_data_I_need). This means...
That I'll have to define, for example, function recover(one_argument_only) {doAnythingYouWantWith(one_argument_only)}
The problem with this approach is that I cannot take advantage of Deferred chaining using .then. For example:
dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs).then(function(response_from_server) {
console.log(response_from_server);
})
This will give me an Event, with no trace of the expected response at all.
Taking advantage of Dojo's implementation of JSONP requests
var jsonpArgs = {
url: "http://myapp.appspot.com/query",
callbackParamName: "callback",
content: {
id: "1234",
name: "Juan",
start_date: "2000-01-01"
};
dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs);
This is the request that my server will receive:
http://myapp.appspot.com/query?id=1234&name=Juan&start_date=2000-01-01&callback=some_function_name_generated_by_dojo
In this case, I'll expect the following output from my server:
some_function_name_generated_by_dojo({
id: 1234,
name: Juan,
data: [
["2000-01-01", 1234],
["2000-01-02", 5678]
]
});
Things to note:
Note the property of jsonpArgs, callbackParamName. The value of this property must be the name of the variable (in the query URL string) expected by the server. If my server expects callbackfoo, then callbackParamName: "callbackfoo". In my case, my server expects the name callback, therefore callbackParamName: "callback".
In the previous example, I specified in the query URL callback=recover and proceeded to implement function recover(...) {...}. This time, I do not need to worry about it. Dojo will insert its own preferred function callback=some_function_name_generated_by_dojo.
I imagine some_function_name_generated_by_dojo to be defined as:
Definition:
function some_function_name_generated_by_dojo(response_from_server) {
return response_from_server;
}
Of course the definition is not that simple, but the advantage of this approach is that I can take advantage of Dojo's Deferred framework. See the code below, which is identical to the previous example:
dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs).then(function(response_from_server) {
console.log(response_from_server);
})
This will give me the exact data I need:
{
id: 1234,
name: Juan,
data: [
["2000-01-01", 1234],
["2000-01-02", 5678]
]
}
I found many posts when I queried for this problem, but they all refer to how to upload a file from your browser to a node.js server. I want to upload a file from node.js code to another server. I tried to write it based on my limited knowledge of node.js, but it doesn't work.
function (data) {
var reqdata = 'file='+data;
var request = http.request({
host : HOST_NAME,
port : HOST_PORT,
path : PATH,
method : 'POST',
headers : {
'Content-Type' : 'multipart/form-data',
'Content-Length' : reqdata.length
}
}, function (response) {
var data = '';
response.on('data', function(chunk) {
data += chunk.toString();
});
response.on('end', function() {
console.log(data);
});
});
request.write(reqdata+'\r\n\r\n');
request.end();
})
The above function is called by other code that generates data.
I tried to upload same data file using curl -F "file=#<filepath>" and the upload is successful. But my code fails. The server returns an application specific error which hints that the uploaded file was invalid/corrupt.
I collected tcpdump data and analysed it in wireshark. The packet sent from my node.js code lacks the boundary required for the multipart data. I see this message in wireshark packet
The multipart dissector could not find the required boundary parameter.
Any idea how to accomplish this in node.js code?
jhcc's answer is almost there.
Having to come up with support for this in our tests, I tweaked it slightly.
Here's the modified version that works for us:
var boundaryKey = Math.random().toString(16); // random string
request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary="'+boundaryKey+'"');
// the header for the one and only part (need to use CRLF here)
request.write(
'--' + boundaryKey + '\r\n'
// use your file's mime type here, if known
+ 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n'
// "name" is the name of the form field
// "filename" is the name of the original file
+ 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="my_file"; filename="my_file.bin"\r\n'
+ 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n'
);
fs.createReadStream('./my_file.bin', { bufferSize: 4 * 1024 })
.on('end', function() {
// mark the end of the one and only part
request.end('\r\n--' + boundaryKey + '--');
})
// set "end" to false in the options so .end() isn't called on the request
.pipe(request, { end: false }) // maybe write directly to the socket here?
Changes are:
ReadableStream.pipe returns the piped-to stream, so end never gets called on that. Instead, wait for end on the file read stream.
request.end puts the boundary on a new line.
Multipart is pretty complex, if you want to make it look like how a client usually handles "multipart/form-data", you have to do a few things. You first have to select a boundary key, this is usually a random string to mark the beginning and end of the parts, (in this case it would be only one part since you want to send a single file). Each part (or the one part) will need a header (initialized by the boundary key), setting the content-type, the name of the form field and the transfer encoding. Once the part(s) are completed, you need to mark the end of each part with the boundary key.
I've never worked with multipart, but I think this is how it could be done. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong:
var boundaryKey = Math.random().toString(16); // random string
request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary="'+boundaryKey+'"');
// the header for the one and only part (need to use CRLF here)
request.write(
'--' + boundaryKey + '\r\n'
// use your file's mime type here, if known
+ 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n'
// "name" is the name of the form field
// "filename" is the name of the original file
+ 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="my_file"; filename="my_file.bin"\r\n'
+ 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n'
);
fs.createReadStream('./my_file.bin', { bufferSize: 4 * 1024 })
// set "end" to false in the options so .end() isnt called on the request
.pipe(request, { end: false }) // maybe write directly to the socket here?
.on('end', function() {
// mark the end of the one and only part
request.end('--' + boundaryKey + '--');
});
Again, I've never done this before, but I think that is how it could be accomplished. Maybe someone more knowledgable could provide some more insight.
If you wanted to send it as base64 or an encoding other than raw binary, you would have to do all the piping yourself. It will end up being more complicated, because you're going to have to be pausing the read stream and waiting for drain events on the request to make sure you don't use up all your memory (if it's not a big file you generally wouldn't have to worry about this though). EDIT: Actually, nevermind that, you could just set the encoding in the read stream options.
I'll be surprised if there isn't a Node module that does this already. Maybe someone more informed on the subject can help with the low-level details, but I think there should be a module around somewhere that does this.
As the error message states you are missing the boundary parameter. You need to add a random string to separate each file from the rest of the files/form-data.
Here is how a request could look like:
The content type:
Content-Type:multipart/form-data; boundary=----randomstring1337
The body:
------randomstring1337
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="thefile.txt"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
[data goes here]
------randomstring1337--
Note that the -- in the beginning and end of of the random string in the body is significant. Those are part of the protocol.
More info here http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html
The fastest way I was able to do this, that worked, was using the request package. The code was well documented and it just worked.
(For my testing I wanted a JSON result and non-strict SSL - there are many other options...)
var url = "http://"; //you get the idea
var filePath = "/Users/me/Documents/file.csv"; //absolute path created elsewhere
var r = request.post( {
url: url,
json: true,
strictSSL: false
}, function( err, res, data ) {
//console.log( "Finished uploading a file" );
expect( err ).to.not.be.ok();
expect( data ).to.be.ok();
//callback(); //mine was an async test
} );
var form = r.form();
form.append( 'csv', fs.createReadStream( filePath ) );
