How to get arcgis user's uploaded shape file data - arcgis

I am trying to get a user's uploaded shape file or the details of his feature server after he is been authenticated.
I was able to authenticate the user and get the token, and i am using the token to access the user's services. I am new to this field, so i am not sure how to achieve this.
I am using java to send requests to arcgis server and get appropriate responses for a given api using the token.
I am following the documentation they have provided for using rest api's but I am struck at basics.
I am using browser based rest client for now to check the json response and I am using the following services to get user's services.
http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services?token[token]&f=json
https://arcgis.com/sharing/rest/portals/self?token[token]&f=json
The response I received for the first one is
{"currentVersion":10.31,"folders":[],"services":[{"name":"DataCoverage","type":"MapServer"},{"name":"World","type":"GeocodeServer"}]}
The second one also provides elaborate response, but I dont know how to get the service that would give me the user's uploaded shape files.

Getting "PARTNER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED" error

While configuring API in Unqork(No-Code platform) getting error "PARTNER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED" while try to fetch Signed Document.
I have used this API Endpoint - {{baseUrl}}/v2.1/accounts/{{accountId}}/envelopes/{{envelopeId}}/documents/0
And also getting file in UTF-8 format. But when trying to convert it into PDF than getting blank document.
Unqork
From google searching, it looks like this page may be of help: https://academy.unqork.com/advanced-api-authentication
In general, you need to get unqork to use OAuth with a DocuSign oauth service provider (account-d.docusign.com) to obtain an access token. Then use that access token in unqork's API calls to DocuSign.
Contact unqork's customer service group for more help.
General information on the problem
PARTNER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED more information error message
Are you using legacy authentication or OAuth authentication? Only OAuth is supported for new integrations.
You must obtain an access token to make API calls. You can obtain an access token via OAuth.
See the docs. Or a video.
If you want more help, ask a new question and provide more information on exactly what you have tried and what is or is not working.

How to use the eBay Browse API just to search for products via one server

I try to migrate from eBay Finding API to Browse API. My technical setting is quiet easy:
A Server searches the Browse API to find products by a keyword. Thats it.
Does anybody know if I need to implement OAuth, a redirection page for eBay-Users to log in etc.? I don't need all those features..
Thanks!
You can use the browse API with the client credential flow that mints the Application access token.
Application tokens are general-use tokens that give access to interfaces that return application data. For example, many GET requests require only an Application token for authorization.
See Documentation
The client credential flow does not require a User to Login via eBay and the redirect etc. However, you can only use the "GET" methods like getItem, getItemByLegacyId or search for example.
If you using NodeJs or Browser you can checkout the "Get Item" example here. (The library will get the Application access token automatically and return the result.)

JMeter: Record n play, also gives API access

I have recorded a login flow of an application and found some URIs like below:
/api/oauth2/initiate GET
/oauth2/authorize GET
/api/v1/oauth2/authorize GET
/api/v1/oauth2/authenticate POST
{"username":"${Username}","password":"${Password}","client_id":"${client_Id}","response_type":"code","redirect_uri":"${scheme}://${host}/api/oauth2/callback","server_id":"${server_Id}"}
When I am hitting above in sequence via JMeter I am getting 200 response. Just like JMeter I tried recording in Postman and it worked same, but instead of JSON it gave response in XML format.
It doesn't generate a access_token, it works via session cookies.
My question is - Do I really have API access or it is just browser record n play? If Yes, Does this mean I can get access to any API, if I am a registered user of that application? For ex: Facebook, YouTube or any startup website.
JMeter works on the protocol level. This means that whatever request you are generating. Say a simple browser request or an API call, you can do that easily.
Now the thing is replicating requests. You don't need to record the requests necessarily using the browser. You need to analyze the few things that are required. Say Postman is generating a request. You specify the things you want to send and you use the API Token there. The same things can be specified there as well. It all depends on how you are understanding the concept of request generation.
You simply need to replicate the samplers and the parameters. And the request headers in postman can be replicated here in the same way.
For each HTTP Request Sampler make sure you add a corresponding child HTTP Header Manager config element.
Headers basically tell the server that what client we are using and in what form data is being sent and then server responds accordingly with the information.
What you're recorded is OAuth2 flow and you won't be able to replay it without correlating the dynamic values.
You can have access to Google API or Facebook Graph API given you have proper access_token but I don't think you should be testing them directly, you should focus on solely your application.

Access to storage.cloud.google.com with a service account

Posted this on github and was told to come here ask for help
Hello!
I am trying to implement custom authentication for my resources on Google Cloud Storage using this module with a service account. I am trying to abstract away the need for a Google account for my end users.
What the ideal workflow would look like:
User queries https://cdn.example.com/[[BUCKET]]/[[FILENAME]] using Bearer token
The API on that end intercepts the bucket and file name and checks the validity of the token
The API then would request the resource at https://storage.cloud.google.com/[[BUCKET]]/[[FILENAME]]
Step 3 Returns the Location header that I will pass over to the user
After snooping around a bit I found out that the Location header returned in step 3 in the form of https://[[DATA]].googleusercontent.com/download/storage/v1/b/[[BUCKET]]/o/[[FILENAME]]?qk=[[KEY]] is a public link that can be accessed by anonymous users too. Which is exactly what I want. However while using the storage API I can only see selfLink and mediaLink, not the link above.
I tried using google-auto-auth to sign the request with my service account towards the storage.cloud.google.com endpoint but I get an Unauthorized error.
From looking here I understand that to access the storage.cloud.google.com is based on cookie authentication, which google-auto-auth doesn't seem to do. All it does is add a Bearer token to the header of the request.
This looks like you need signedUrls
Yea, that would be great, if it didn't expose the email of the service account.
Cheers!
TL;DR How to get the redirect URL from storage.cloud.google.com links using a service account?

How to get user data from Google API with OAuth remotely from a server?

I've been reading lots of documentation about Google API access and OAuth flow using it but I don't seem to get it working in my mind, so I want to get some help first in order to have a clear idea about how it works then I can code it using the corresponding API.
What I want to achieve is feed a Java application running in a PC with specific Google user data, like localization through Google Latitude API. In order to get this, OAuth must be used, so I need getting the user consent, then access the user data from the application running in my computer, and I don't know how to manage this.
I've already registered my application with the Google APIs Console and enabled the Google Latitude module. I've also tried the Latitude console application here and it works properly (a browser tab opened asking for a Google user; I entered it and I got the location data), but I'm having problems when trying to adapt the program flow to my needs.
In my application, the 'remote' user is supposed to send a request (a custom JSON message) to the server asking for service enable/disable, like allowing the server to track his/her position through Latitude. Then, AFAIK, the server should send to the user a URL so the user can give the consent, but I don't know how to get this URL and how the server realizes about this consent and gets the token (automatically? Google tracks this authorization process?). Once my server gets the specific user token, then I should be ready to get service data for that user using the received token.
As I said before, I've tried according to different references, but as the documentation seems to be really scattered and much of it is already deprecated, I've been unable to get it working.
Judging from your description, the installed app OAuth2 flow seems to be the right one for you.
At some point, presumably when a user is installing your desktop app, you should fire up a browser - either embedded one in your app or the default browser - and sent them to this Google OAuth2 endpoint. In your request, fill out all the parameters as required by the doc: Latitude API scope, client_id, etc. Google, as an authorization server, will take care of user authentication, session selection, and user consent. If the user grants access to her data to your API, you will receive an authorization code either in the title of the browser window or at a localhost port.
Once you have the code, you can exchange it for an access token and a refresh token. The access token is what you need to call the API and access the user's data. It is short lived though - check the expired_in parameter in the response, I believe it is 3600 sec. - so you will need to periodically ping the token endpoint with your long lived refresh token and exchange it for an access token.
You can find a more thoroough description of this flow in the doc linked above.
