I'm trying to extract a custom report from activecollab via API as a CSV file to be imported into a visualization tool.
I've requested the activecollab API key with:
curl -k --data "api_subscription[email]=****#*****.com&api_subscription[password]=********&api_subscription[client_name]=****&api_subscription[client_vendor]=****" https://*************/api.php
This works successfully and returns the API key in plain text.
How do I request the report after that?
Report URL:
https://*****************/public/index.php?path_info=timereportsplus%2Frun&export_format=csv&async=1&filter%5Bshow_time_records%5D=1&filter%5Btype_filter.....[lots of filters]
I get this URL by copying the link address of the 'Export CSV' link at the bottom of the report.
I can successfully get the report if I feed the cookies from the first interaction with the login page to the report generation URL(above). But I want to avoid using cookies.
Is there a way to authenticate with the API key and return the report in a single call?
Other details:
activecollab version: 5.0.100
What you have there is not Active Collab 5. Version 5 does not support third party modules (and that request is clearly targeting Reports Plus plugin). You are probably using version 4 or older.
In versions older than Active Collab 5, not all resources that are available to the web interface are available via API. Particular resource that you are trying to fetch is clearly intended for web interface only because it response well to web interface requests (where you auth with a cookie), but rejects API requests.
All API resources that Active Collab 4 supports are listed here:
https://activecollab.com/help-classic/books/api/
Please consult third party module vendor and see if they can make that resources available to API.

Trying to customize Portfolio Item Burnup , got source code from https://github.com/RallyApps/app-catalog/tree/master/src/apps/charts/rpm/burn
Now after compiling using "rally-app-builder build" command and after that running with "rally-app-builder run" command, I am able to run the page. In another tab of chrome, Rally is logged in. the launched page is getting authentication from rally session and able to get some data like searching some PFG/PF etc.
Now problem is after applying some settings and selecting some PF/PFG, its again demands authentication (for rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/security/authorize). This authentication is not working with my credential.
I have also generated some api key from rally1.rallydev.com/login/accounts/index.html#/keys ,but, that also not working.
Pls help on this.
Thanks,
Udayan
I'm assuming you use SSO to login? If so, you won't be able to correctly authenticate against that /security/authorize endpoint (which is used for generating a CSRF token when making POST/PUT/DELETE calls against wsapi- GETS are fine).
You were on the right track with the api key. Generate a key and then just add it to the query string of your app url:
http://localhost:1337/App-debug.html?apiKey=83h3lkb4b43302bfvlav
There's also a guide in the App SDK docs that describes this in greater detail: https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.1/doc/#!/guide/embedding_apps
UPDATED QUESTION to clarify more.
I have two servers : wso2greg containing custom artefacts and wso2am (api manager).
The gouvernance register is intended to be used internally (intranet) and some of it's feature are intended to be exposed externally and acceded via it's rest API.
In order to manage wso2greg API accesss, we used an wso2am (api manager) server, where we did define an API that act as a proxy for the wso2greg API.
In our experiments, we found the strange behaviour described below :
Successfully direct calling wso2greg artefact rest api (the exact url is
https://localhost:9443/resource/1.0.0/artifact/_system/governance/myartifact/art1 and i'm following the documentation of this REST API from here https://docs.wso2.com/display/Governance520/Resources+with+REST+API ) using postman. The API reacts as described in the documentation.
Error 500, reported on wso2greg server, when calling the same REST API, but via API manager (using publisher application).
So as a summary :
Directly calling wso2greg rest API woks fine and a got results back
Adding this working API, in wso2am and than calling it gives always error 500.
As extra information:
Tested with other wso2greg REST API , such as "rating" or "comments" and I was able to call it successfully either directly or throw Api manager.
Tried to get information related to default wso2greg artifacts such as restservice, but i got exactly the same pb when (error 500) interagting with API manager.
Working with the last version of both products : wso2greg version 5.2.0 and wso2am version 1.10.0
Please advice, or clarify how could i debug this internal error in wso2greg.
Regards,
I hope your not using G-Reg + APIM feature installed version. I presume your using separate G-reg 5.2.0 and APIM x.x.x. Since your using the second option you can't use G-Reg REST API with APIM, therefore you have to use APIM REST API instead.
Get an API

Please follow this link to see all the api usage.
Thanks #thusharaK for providing help.
The solution was to add Message Mediation Policies which forces json header on output.
Now i got my correct response from API manager (in fact, i got a binary response in test console and a json response in postman) .
https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/apic_tutorial.html#apic_tutorial_01
Follow previous link to do create loopback project named ibmsvt and do test locally, we can post and get.
then publish this api as running api app on bluemix and we will get api target url and tls file.
type url and tls in api designer invoke, and publish api product again.
check api connect service and we can find that published api product has been published, configure developer portal, and invite developers
login developer portal and register one app
subscribe app to api product and run post command.
We will see that we only get can't post error information...
Please see attachment info for error info and api file.
From the screen capture provided, it looks like you're displaying the logs for the loopback application deployed on bluemix. It also looks like the POST request from APIConnect hit the Bluemix application as well. However, I'm unable to see the exact message of the error. What error did you get when you execute the POST from APIConnect? I suspect the POST did not include the $(request.path), what did you change the invoke url to be ? Can provide the x-ibm-configuration section in your yaml file? It will be located in your /definitions.
Thanks and best regards,
I am just have the exact problem, and struggled for days on redoing the tutorial several times, but still met with the same problem until found the upper reply, and gave me a hint.
In the tutorial, it says like the following:
Update the following fields with the values you copied previously:
Invoke URL: Insert the API target URL. You must specify the secure protocol HTTPS. For example:
apiconnect-ca3283b0-525c-488d-993b-3ab72fca78d0.youremail-dev.apic.mybluemix.net
TLS Profile: Insert the API invoke tls-profile.
For example:
client:Loopback-client
The origininal URL is $(runtime-url)$(request.path)$(request.search).
And the correct URL after updating is like following:
https://apiconnect-ca3283b0-525c-488d-993b-3ab72fca78d0.youremail-dev.apic.mybluemix.net$(request.path)
no slash before $(request.path), and $(request.search) should be deleted.
I also checked a tutorial video, it also do like this, but the screen for this step is passed away very quickly, you will not pay attention to this detail normally.

I want to know how to use photobucket api. I successfully created a login in photobucket.
I am following the guidelines given http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/photobucket/api/photobucket-api/docs/getting-started
The first step i am failing is that http://developer.photobucket.com is redirecting to different page.
As it is written
Go to the Photobucket developer web site at developer.photobucket.com, agree to the terms of service, sign up, and get the API key.
I am not able to open developer.photobucket.com.
I also see a redirect from developer.photobucket.com to photobucket.com. It seems that they incorrectly configured the redirect. The information about using Photobucket API required link was found in the support section:
Our engineers are working on a new API, with lots of changes, however,
this won't be available to users for a couple more months. Here is the
documentation on the current API.
If you'd rather not wait for this updated API, and would like the
current iteration now, please send an email to our API request email
address with the following information:
Your Photobucket username (This is the username for the account that
you have already created on Photobucket): Your application name
(whatever you would like): Do you require the key for commercial or
non-commercial purposes:
All three of these answers are required!
Send the API request to: pbdl-api#photobucket.com
The subject for the email should be: API Request
Recently I started coding a Google Maps service integration. I went ahead and generated an API Key associated with my business email account on bronze level. When I use the service sans API Key everything works swimmingly.
If I use the API Key parameter, with my API key generated in my developer console I get the error message:
This API project is not authorized to use this API.
The URL used to access maps is below:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins={origin_address}&destinations={destination_addresses}&mode=driving&language=en-US&sensor=false&key={APIKey}
How does one get the API Key to be authorized for v3 Maps JavaScript API. I am making the call as a raw post in the ASPX code behind to that address. It seems to me this used to work fine when I first started all this, now today all of the sudden I'm getting this error.
I need this to work since I will also be using places and that service seems to only work with the API Key. I would like to be able to have the key configured once and be done with it.
You'll need to enable each API you want to use.
The maps-javascript-API is one API, the DistanceMatrix-API(Webservice) another.
Go to the developer-console->API's and enable the Distance Matrix API
Note: this is only related to the DistanceMatrix-Webservice, when you use the DistanceMatrix-Service of the Javascript-API you don't need to enable this service.
