Hi I'm calling an API and using the winhttp request and the GET method. I'm passing a json style parameter in the send method but it just can't get accepted. I end up with the error message:
{"code":"INS03","description":"Event ID required","requestId":"_181603230829162847306080","data":{},"validationErrors":null}
Which seems weird because I am indeed passing the event id parameter, as follows:
inventory_URL = "https://api.stubhub.com/search/inventory/v1"
Dim oRequest As WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Dim sResult As String
Set oRequest = New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
With oRequest
.Open "GET", inventory_URL, True
.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Bearer " & access_token
.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "Accept-Encoding", "application/json"
.send ("{""eventid"":""9445148""}")
.waitForResponse
sResult = .responseText
Debug.Print sResult
sResult = oRequest.Status
Debug.Print sResult
End With
Is there any issue with my code?
Thank you in advance,
Vadim
For GET request query string should be composed.
Your data can't be passed in Send but in query string:
.Open "GET", inventory_URL & "?eventid=9445148", True
Check GET vs POST.

API constants for example sendDataToApi = "mail_from=mail#mail.com&mail_to=mail#mail.com work. API receive data.
VBA code for connection with API:
Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
URL = "https://url.xdomain.com/api/insert"
objHTTP.Open "POST", URL, False
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
sendDataToApi = "mail_from=mail#mail.com&mail_to=&mail2#mail.com"
objHTTP.Send sendDataToApi
What is the syntax for inserting variables to be sent?
For example strTo = objMail.To and add to sendDataApi.
This part of code adds me to API strTo instead of email.
sendDataToApi = "mail_from=strTo"
I'm trying to access the JIRA API from Excel. Using the MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0 object works fine but using the WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 from the VBA-Web WebClient does not.
This works fine:
Function getJiraSessionId()
Set JiraAuth = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0")
With JiraAuth
.Open "POST", "https://<our JIRA server>/tracker/rest/auth/1/session", False
.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
.SetRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Jira-Automation"
.Send " {""username"" : ""...."", ""password"" : ""....""} "
sErg = .ResponseText
End With
...
End Function
This does not:
Function JiraLogin()
Dim JiraClient As New WebClient
JiraClient.BaseUrl = "https://<our JIRA server>/tracker/"
JiraClient.Insecure = True
JiraClient.TimeoutMs = 50000
Dim Abruf As New WebRequest
Abruf.Resource = "rest/auth/1/session"
Abruf.Method = WebMethod.HttpPost
Abruf.Format = WebFormat.Json
Abruf.UserAgent = "Jira-Automation"
Set Body = New Dictionary
Body.Add "username", "...."
Body.Add "password", "...."
Set Abruf.Body = Body
Dim Response As WebResponse
Set Response = JiraClient.Execute(Abruf)
...
End Function
The error message is:
ERROR - WebClient.Execute: -2147210493 (11011 / 80042b03), An error occurred during execute
-2147012739 (80072f7d): Im Support des sicheren Channels ist ein Fehler aufgetreten
I want to use VBA-Web because of its great tools but I can't. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks, Manfred.
I'm trying to build a VBA function that will update a value in a Sharepoint list:
Sub testUpdate()
Dim XmlHttp As MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Dim result As String
Dim url As String
Dim body As String
Dim RequestDigest As String
Set XmlHttp = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
url = "https://sps.utility.xyz.com/sites/xyz/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('REST Test List')/items(1)"
RequestDigest = GetDigest("https://sps.utility.xyz.com/sites/xyz")
body = "{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Data.REST_x0020_Test_x0020_ListListItem' }, 'Title': 'updating item with new title'}"
XmlHttp.Open "POST", url, False
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "IF-MATCH", "*"
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "accept", "application/json;odata=verbose"
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "content-type", "application/json;odata=verbose"
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "X-Http-Method", "MERGE"
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "X-RequestDigest", RequestDigest
XmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(body)
XmlHttp.Send body
result = XmlHttp.responseText
End Sub
Function GetDigest(url As String)
Dim oHttp As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Dim s As String
Dim l1 As Long
Dim l2 As Long
With oHttp
.Open "POST", url + "/_api/contextinfo", False
.setRequestHeader "content-type", "application/json;odata=verbose"
.Send ""
End With
s = oHttp.responseText
l1 = InStr(1, s, "FormDigestValue")
If l1 > 10 Then
l1 = l1 + 16
l2 = InStr(l1, s, "</d:FormDigestValue")
End If
If l2 > 10 Then GetDigest = Mid$(s, l1, l2 - l1)
Set oHttp = Nothing
End Function
But when testUpdate gets to the line:
XmlHttp.Send body
it throws this error:
Run-time error '-2147467260 (80004004)':
Operation aborted
Despite the error, the update succeeds--the list item's Title value changes.
Is it safe for me to simply handle this exception and bypass the error, or is it indicating that there is a real problem that I need to resolve?
The api call requires authentication. I managed to use WinHTTP to authenticate the request based on the current user, I am assuming that they have access in the below. I get a 204 response and my list item updates correctly. (the iteration is because I was testing performance and can be removed).
Tools>references>Microsoft WinHttp Services Version 5.1
Private Sub UpdateItem2(ID, strFormDigest As String, iteration)
Dim sUrl As String
sUrl ="https://123.Sharepoint.net/sites/123/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('MyDemoList')/items(" & ID & ")"
Dim oRequest As WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Dim sResult As String
sEnv = "{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Data.MyDemoListListItem' }, 'Title': 'TEST" & iteration & "' }"
Set oRequest = New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
With oRequest
.Open "POST", sUrl, True
.setRequestHeader "IF-MATCH", "*"
.setRequestHeader "X-HTTP-Method", "MERGE"
.setRequestHeader "accept", "application/json;odata=verbose"
.setRequestHeader "X-RequestDigest", strFormDigest
.setRequestHeader "content-type", "application/json;odata=verbose"
.SetAutoLogonPolicy AutoLogonPolicy_Always
.send sEnv
.waitForResponse
End With
End Sub
New to the community here. I've done a decent amount of programming but I'm completely new to VBA. Never used it before until now and I was tasked with extracting JSON data from a Jira API into an Excel spreadsheet. I keep getting the error "Run-Time error '13': Type mismatch" and I'm not sure why. I know the error has to do with passing in incorrect types but I've tried changing the Json variable to a String with no success. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
By the way, this is just a trial Jira instance for testing the API functionality.
Sub test()
'Authenticate the user
Dim response As String
With CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
.Open "POST", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/auth/1/session", False, "admin", "password"
.setRequestHeader "X-Atlassian-Token:", "nocheck"
.Send
response = .responseText
End With
'Query through JSON
Set MyRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
MyRequest.Open "GET", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/CC-1", False, "admin", "password"
MyRequest.Send
Dim Json As Object
Set Json = JsonConverter.ParseJson(MyRequest.responseText)
MsgBox Json("fields")("summary")
End Sub
UPDATE: This is where I am at right now. Updated the code for the authentication and now no errors display from the compiler. Here is the JSONConverter class I am using: github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-JSON/blob/master/JsonConverter.bas. The issue now is that the returned JSON string says, "{"errorMessages":["Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it."],"errors":{}}". So I am able to connect to Jira just fine and return the JSON as a string, it's just that Jira is rejecting my credentials :/
Private JiraService As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Private JiraAuth As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Sub test()
'Authenticate the user
With JiraAuth
.Open "POST", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/auth/1/session", False
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "X-Atlassian-Token:", "nocheck"
.send " {""username"" : ""admin"", ""password"" : ""password""}"""
sErg = .responseText
sCookie = "JSESSIONID=" & Mid(sErg, 42, 32) & "; Path=/Jira" '*** Extract the Session-ID
End With
With JiraService
Set MyRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
MyRequest.Open "GET", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/CC-1", False
MyRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
MyRequest.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
MyRequest.setRequestHeader "Set-Cookie", sCookie '*** see Create a "Cookie"
MyRequest.send
Dim Json As String
Json = MyRequest.responseText
MsgBox Json
End With
End Sub
This seems to return a valid JSON from the API, which is parseable from the Jsonconverter module.
You were using MyRequest object as possibly the wrong type of object. Elsewhere, you're relying on the MSXML2.XMLHTTP60 class.
Set MyRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
So I removed the MyRequest and just worked with the JiraService object instead. You had a With JiraService block but you weren't actually using that object at all, you were executing against the WinHttpRequest object within that block.
I also declared all variables, and modified the auth string to use Const strings defined at top of module for user/password.
Option Explicit
Private JiraService As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Private JiraAuth As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Const user As String = "jiratestemail82#gmail.com"
Const pw As String = "password"
Sub test()
Dim sErg$, sCookie$, Json$
'Authenticate the user
With JiraAuth
.Open "POST", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/auth/1/session", False
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "X-Atlassian-Token:", "nocheck"
.send " {""username"" : """ & user & """, ""password"" : """ & pw & """}"""
sErg = .responseText
sCookie = "JSESSIONID=" & Mid(sErg, 42, 32) & "; Path=/Jira" '*** Extract the Session-ID
End With
With JiraService
.Open "GET", "https://apitestsite.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/CC-1", False
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/json"
.setRequestHeader "Set-Cookie", sCookie '*** see Create a "Cookie"
.send
Json = .responseText
End With
Dim j As Object
Set j = JsonConverter.ParseJson(Json)
MsgBox j("fields")("summary")
End Sub

It has a VBA example that works (also a C# example)
