Requesting parameters are not sent over API in ionic 2 - api

I am trying to send the the parameters using a post request but the parameters are not reaching to provide back the desired result and printing null as a result in console. here is my code
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' );
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
let postParams = {
acesscode: 'XXXXXXXXXXX',
productCode:'XXXXXXXXXX'
};
this.http.post("http://www.ebiebook.com/drmapi/v1/details", JSON.stringify(postParams), options)
.subscribe(data => {
console.log(data['_body']);
}, error => {
console.log(error);// Error getting the data
});
}
and the output screen is attached, It shows API is hitting well but the parameters data is unable to reach to provide the corresponding result. Please suggest.

This print you have attached does not show what is being sent by the request, instead it shows only the response your browser received from the server.
You better take a look at this thread here to see in this thread more about. You have to check the 'Headers' tab from Chrome's console -> Network.

API mocking in cypress intercept

I am new to cypress.
Problem: I am not able to intercept url for API mocking, when there are multiple APIs are appearing in console-> network tab
Description: My requirement is as follows:
login a website, after getting the landing page,go to a particular webpage, select multiple test cases check boxes
open console-> network tab , and click run
watch multiple APIs are coming
I selected one API url among them. I want to mock this particular one.
'GET'method , url (say: https://externalAPIurl) are copied in the following code
//verify landing page is reached
cy.contains("this is landing page").should("exist");
//after login open testcase page
cy.visit(
"https://example.com/testcases"
);
//go to test suite tab test suite
cy.get("#testsuiteid")
.click();
//click test suite name
cy.contains("testsuitename").click();
// select all test cases
cy.get(".testcasecheckbox")
.click();
cy.intercept(
{
method: "GET",
url: "https://externalAPIurl",
},
{
headers: {
authorization:
"AABBXXYY",
},
},
{
statusCode: 200,
body: [
{
status: 200,
result: true,
combination: [
//same data...
],
},
],
}
);
cy.get("#run_button").click();
});
Where am I wrong?
I checked in postman, the URL, with Get method and Header-> Authorization key with proper Authorization key value (as collected from network console Headers) giving correct response, but the cy.intercept is throwing error
How to solve this?
Whenever in a website we click a button, multiple external API s are visible in console-> network. If I take any one of them -> check the URL, method, header and getting the same response in postman as in the network console, I should be able to mock the same request URL.
I tried the same when one single API is appearing in network console. It was fine. But when I select one among multiple the result is an error.
Please note: I have included the header authorization, may be the format is wrong. But if I give or do not give the authorization, the result is the same error.
If you want to intercept a 'GET' and stub the response with predefined data. I would first use dev tools network tab to capture the api response you want. Copy the response and save as a json file in your fixture folder (you can edit this file as you see fit to fake the data how you wish). From there you can do the following:
cy.fixture('apiResponse.json').as('fixture data')
.then( (data) =>{
const raw = JSON.stringify(data)
cy.request( {
method : 'GET',
url : 'api url here',
headers : {
authorization : 'AABBXXYY',
},
body : raw
})
.then( (response) => {
cy.log(response.body)
expect(`Response.status = ${response.status}`).to.eq('Response.status = 200')
})
})

Successful Login to API; Unsuccessful at accessing any data due to being unauthorized

I am attempting to come up with a live leaderboard for my local club using the PDGA's (Professional Disc Golf Association) API. I am writing a Google Apps Script intending to auto populate a Google Sheet with a Club Ranking that can be refreshed as needed.
Right now, all I am trying to do is make pull of data to ensure I am able to begin using the API, but I can't seem to do even that.
For reference, here are the only two resources I have to work with regarding this specific API:
PDGA REST API Authentication
PDGA REST API Services
I have got the original login to work using this code:
function apiLogin() {
var LoginUrl = 'https://api.pdga.com/services/json/user/login';
var LoginDetails = {
'username' : Username,
'password' : Password
};
var LoginRequest = {
'method' : 'post',
'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
'payload' : LoginDetails
};
var LoginResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(LoginUrl, LoginRequest);
var json = LoginResponse.getContentText();
var LoginData = JSON.parse(json);
Logger.log(LoginData);
var SessionID = LoginData['sessid'];
var SessionName = LoginData['session_name'];
var Tok = LoginData['token'];
var playerFetchPar = {
'method' : 'get',
'Cookie' : SessionID + '=' + SessionName
};
var PlayerResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.pdga.com/services/json/players?pdga_number=1',playerFetchPar); //ERROR
Logger.log(PlayerResponse);
};
It's the last part when I am trying to call on data from a player that I get the following error message:
Exception: Request failed for https://api.pdga.com returned code 403. Truncated server response: ["Access denied for user anonymous"] (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response)
I am guessing that my screw up is in my interpretion of the parameter Cookie from that second link. In the initial response to make sure I was logging in properly, I received a session_name and sessid but I can't seem to figure out what is expected from Cookie. I am sorry if the answer is obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
The documentation says
Cookie: session_name=sessid
You've used
Cookie: sessid=session_name
Reverse it:
'Cookie' : `${SessionName}=${SessionID}`
And you need to send it as a header:
const playerFetchPar = {
method : 'get',
headers: {'Cookie' : `${SessionName}=${SessionID}`}
};

Google Apps Script: Salesforce API Call

Just finished breakfast and already hit a snag. I'm trying to call the salesforce REST api from my google sheets. I've written a working script locally in python, but converting it into JS, something went wrong:
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var options = {
grant_type:'password',
client_id:'XXXXXXXXXXX',
client_secret:'111111111111',
username:'ITSME#smee.com',
password:'smee'
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
Here is the error response:
Request failed for https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
returned code 400. Truncated server response:
{"error_description":"grant type not
supported","error":"unsupported_grant_type"} (use muteHttpExceptions
option to examine full response) (line 12, file "Code")
Mind you, these exact parameters work fine in my local python script (putting the key values inside quotations).
Here are the relevant docs:
Google Script: Connecting to external API's
Salesforce: REST API guide
Thank you all!
Google's UrlFetchApp object automatically defaults to a GET request. To authenticate, you have to explicitly set in the options the method "post":
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var payload = {
'grant_type':'password',
'client_id':'XXXXXXXXXXX',
'client_secret':'111111111111',
'username':'ITSME#smee.com',
'password':'smee'
};
var options = {
'method':'post',
'payload':payload
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}

Firefox add-on SDK: Get http response headers

I'm new to add-on development and I've been struggling with this issue for a while now. There are some questions here that are somehow related but they haven't helped me to find a solution yet.
So, I'm developing a Firefox add-on that reads one particular header when any web page that is loaded in any tab in the browser.
I'm able to observer tab loads but I don't think there is a way to read http headers inside the following (simple) code, only url. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
var tabs = require("sdk/tabs");
tabs.on('open', function(tab){
tab.on('ready', function(tab){
console.log(tab.url);
});
});
});
I'm also able to read response headers by observing http events like this:
var {Cc, Ci} = require("chrome");
var httpRequestObserver =
{
init: function() {
var observerService = Cc["#mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIObserverService);
observerService.addObserver(this, "http-on-examine-response", false);
},
observe: function(subject, topic, data)
{
if (topic == "http-on-examine-response") {
subject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
this.onExamineResponse(subject);
}
},
onExamineResponse: function (oHttp)
{
try
{
var header_value = oHttp.getResponseHeader("<the_header_that_i_need>"); // Works fine
console.log(header_value);
}
catch(err)
{
console.log(err);
}
}
};
The problem (and a major source of personal confusion) is that when I'm reading the response headers I don't know to which request the response is for. I want to somehow map the request (request url especially) and the response header ("the_header_that_i_need").
You're pretty much there, take a look at the sample code here for more things you can do.
onExamineResponse: function (oHttp)
{
try
{
var header_value = oHttp.getResponseHeader("<the_header_that_i_need>");
// URI is the nsIURI of the response you're looking at
// and spec gives you the full URL string
var url = oHttp.URI.spec;
}
catch(err)
{
console.log(err);
}
}
Also people often need to find the tab related, which this answers Finding the tab that fired an http-on-examine-response event

Using Node JS to proxy http and modify response

I'm trying to write a front end to an API service with Node JS.
I'd like to be able to have a user point their browser at my node server and make a request. The node script would modify the input to the request, call the api service, then modify the output and pass back to the user.
I like the solution here (with Express JS and node-http-proxy) as it passes the cookies and headers directly from the user through my site to the api server.
proxy request in node.js / express
I see how to modify the input to the request, but i can't figure out how to modify the response. Any suggestions?
transformer-proxy could be useful here. I'm the author of this plugin and I'm answering here because I found this page when looking for the same question and wasn't satisfied with harmon as I don't want to manipulate HTML.
Maybe someone else is looking for this and finds it useful.
Harmon is designed to plug into node-http-proxy https://github.com/No9/harmon
It uses trumpet and so is stream based to work around any buffering problems.
It uses an element and attribute selector to enable manipulation of a response.
This can be used to modify output response.
See here: https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/issues/382#issuecomment-14895039
http-proxy-interceptor is a middleware I wrote for this very purpose. It allows you to modify the http response using one or more transform streams. There are tons of stream-based packages available (like trumpet, which harmon uses), and by using streams you can avoid buffering the entire response.
var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
var modifyResponse = require('http-proxy-response-rewrite');
var proxy = httpProxy.createServer({
target:'target server IP here',
});
proxy.listen(8001);
proxy.on('error', function (err, req, res) {
res.writeHead(500, {
'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
});
res.end('Something went wrong. And we are reporting a custom error message.');
});
proxy.on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {
modifyResponse(res, proxyRes.headers['content-encoding'], function (body) {
if (body && (body.indexOf("<process-order-response>")!= -1)) {
var beforeTag = "</receipt-text>"; //tag after which u can add data to
// response
var beforeTagBody = body.substring(0,(body.indexOf(beforeTag) + beforeTag.length));
var requiredXml = " <ga-loyalty-rewards>\n"+
"<previousBalance>0</previousBalance>\n"+
"<availableBalance>0</availableBalance>\n"+
"<accuruedAmount>0</accuruedAmount>\n"+
"<redeemedAmount>0</redeemedAmount>\n"+
"</ga-loyalty-rewards>";
var afterTagBody = body.substring(body.indexOf(beforeTag)+ beforeTag.length)+
var res = [];
res.push(beforeTagBody, requiredXml, afterTagBody);
console.log(res.join(""));
return res.join("");
}
return body;
});
});
