I tried call this command
curl -l -u "my_user_name" https://my-enterprise-github.com
Then, I input my password manually.
But it returns this
<html><body>You are being redirected.</body></html>
Please explain what's wrong with my command.
Thank you.
cURL should not be used for access to GitHub's (or most web) UI without specific reasons. GitHub provides an API to allow accessing data as a well-defined structure.
You mentioned wanting to get-a-single-pull-request. This relies on a URL pattern following GET /repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/:number.
So if you had a GitHub account, facebook, and wanted to look up a specific pull request 15947 in react-native. The full URL would be
https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react-native/pulls/15947
The cURL command would be
curl -u osowskit -X GET https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react-native/pulls/15947
Note that:
You will likely want to start using a PAT or OAuth token instead of username/password
There are tools that make exploring the GitHub API easier. postman or octokit
To start with you may want the -L flag. From the cURL Frequently Asked Questions
3.8 How do I tell curl to follow HTTP redirects?
Curl does not follow so-called redirects by default. The Location: header that informs the client about this is only interpreted if you're using the -L/--location option. As in:
curl -L http://redirector.com
Not all redirects are HTTP ones, see 4.14
There's also a CLI now that can be helpful for many similar use-cases:
https://cli.github.com/
$ gh pr list

I created a public repository within my personal account, created a PAT w/ the workflow permissions checked, but am unable to disable the workflow via the API as I receive a message stating that I must have admin rights to the repository. I believe the PAT has the correct permissions so I’m unsure as to why this isn’t working.
Here is the command I am attempting to use (based on the documentation):
curl -s christronyxyocum:MY-PAT -X PUT -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/MY-USERNAME/MY-REPO/actions/workflows/workflow.yml/disable
I can retrieve information about the workflow without any issues so I believe that I have the correct URL and formatting, etc. I have even tried creating a new PAT with the same permissions and that one experiences the same error.
I have figured this out. Rather than using the username:token format like they show repeatedly in their documentation, you must use the -H "Authorization: bearer TOKEN" header with the curl command.
As all I want to do is connect to my own site, I should be able to ignore oAuth and do token-baseed authentication as per:
http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/get-started/authentication/gs-authentication-token.html
My curl request looks exactly like:
curl -X POST "https://magento.host/index.php/rest/V1/integration/admin/token" \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-d '{"username":"test#example.com", "password":"123123q"}'
The response I get is a HTML page from my own site that basically says 'page not found' I'm obviously going to the correct domain, but it seems something else in the URL is incorrect. Any ideas?
Am I using the wrong URL?
In version 1.9 you need to create a Guest endpoint. Then you don't need to use oAuth. You can see how to use it here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/api/rest/introduction.html
An authentication system that uses REST so that you do not need to actually track or manage the users in your system. This is done by using the HTTP methods POST, GET, PUT, DELETE. We take these 4 methods and think of them in terms of database interaction as CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE.
There is no direct way to use REST token based authentication on the Magento 1.x version. You need to write this functionality to you for your own. I have write this functionality by using REST API and you can also follow this article for more details.

I am trying to use the Confluence REST API to create a page. I am using the curl example off of the documentation found HERE. Every time I try to run a terminal command using this curl I get a response that says 'HTTP Status 401 - Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATION_DENIED'. I see that someone else had a similar issue regarding their C# code, but there was never a resolution given. Hopefully someone with experience will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong. My curl is listed below with the sensitive parts replaced in <> format.
curl -u <USER>:<PASSWORD> -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"type":"page","title":"new page","space":{"key":"<PAGEKEY>"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>This is a new page</p>","representation":"storage"}}}' https://<SERVER>/wiki/confluence/rest/api/content/ | python -mjson.tool
I was finally able to resolve this. Through a combination of the answer here How to create new page in Confluence using their REST API? and using a login that had the appropriate permissions.
I obtained the oauth token and oauth token secret for the LinkedIn API via Python. I'd like to make some REST calls via curl now and I tried the following ;
curl -v "http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~" -d "oauth_token=xxxxxxxxxx" -d "oauth_token_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
I've used the LinkedIn API in Python but wanted to use in curl. Am I missing something here ?
Any suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
You need to sign the requests using OAuth - usually the best way to do this is to use a library (like you mentioned, the python library works well). You can scoop the HTTP traffic to see what additional headers are being sent. The developer portal at http://developer.linkedin.com has an overview of the OAuth stuff, but it'd be pretty tough to get a working implementation for Curl because each signature you generate will be different (based on timestamp).
I'm trying to create a repo using Github API, but it always return this JSON:
{"message":"Not Found"}
But this error appears only when I try to create using OAuth access token in request header, if I use username and password, API create the repo and return a successful message.
Anyone had problems with this API endpoint?
You can create a new repository using the Python library, PyGithub.
from github import Github
g = Github("your username", "your password")
g = Github("your token") # safer alternative, if you have an access token
u = g.get_user()
repo = u.create_repo("name-of-your-repo")
This should solve your problem.
I had a different message come up with this
curl -i -d '{"name":"NAME"}' https://api.github.com/orgs/:ORG/repos?access_token=XXX
{
"message": "Must be an owner or admin of Organization."
}
But still not sure why I cannot create either
Ok
This worked for me
Create Auth Token
curl -u 'iwarner' -d '{"scopes":["repo"],"note":":NAME"}' https://api.github.com/authorizations
Create Repo - Need to contain "Authorization: token"
curl -i -H 'Authorization: token TOKENHERE' -d '{"name":":NAME"}' https://api.github.com/user/repos
This works, just tried it.
curl -F 'login=c00kiemon5ter' -F 'token=s3cr3t' https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/create -F 'name=testapi' -F 'public=0'
Are we talking about API v2 or v3 ?
I do not know what technology you are using. But just in case of iOS, you can use this demo app which describes 3 simple ways to interact with the GitHub API.
Note: This demo app provide only few selected functionality.
GitHub-Interaction
Hope this helps!!
As of today, the GitHub v3 API documentation explicitly states:
Create
Create a new repository for the authenticated user. (Currently not enabled for Integrations)
EDIT:
The "not enabled for Integrations" means, if you get your OAuth token via one of your OAuth apps (which is an "integration") the GitHub API will refuse to create a repository with that function.
However, if you use some other access token (e.g. a personal access token you add yourself, see below) then the GitHub API will happily create a repository for you with the very same API call.
curl -u your_username -d '{"scopes":["repo"], "note":"Description of personal token"}' https://api.github.com/authorizations
That's the reason why the solution presented by Ian Warner works. The solution with PyGithub will suffer the same limitation. Only the token makes the difference!
EDIT: Not entirely true: With OAuth you can specify the scope to attach specific permissions to your OAuth token when authenticating (OAuth app flow). For creating repositories you need to have the 'repo' scope. (See also: Github v3 API - create a REPO)
