Get url shortened with Google API, AFNetworking in Swift - api

In Google documentation (https://developers.google.com/url-shortener/v1/getting_started), to use Google URL shortener, I should make a request as below:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url
Content-Type: application/json
{"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"}
They also stated that I will have to authenticate:
"Every request your application sends to the Google URL Shortener API
needs to identify your application to Google. There are two ways to
identify your application: using an OAuth 2.0 token (which also
authorizes the request) and/or using the application's API key."
I chose public API key as a method to authenticate: I create a public key for my iOS app. Then I use the following code to POST (AFNetworking, using Swift):
func getShortURL(longURL: String){
let manager = AFHTTPRequestOperationManager()
let params = [
"longUrl": longURL
]
manager.POST("https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key={my_key_inserted}", parameters: params, success: {
(operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!,responseObject: AnyObject!) in
println("JSON: " + responseObject.description)
},
failure: { (operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!,error: NSError!) in
println("Error while requesting shortened: " + error.localizedDescription)
})
}
However, I got the log: Error while requesting shortened: Request failed: bad request (400).
Please tell me how to fix it.

What you are missing is setting the right AFNetworking serializer for this request.
Since the Google response is in JSON, you should use AFJSONRequestSerializer.
Add manager.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer() like this:
let manager = AFHTTPRequestOperationManager()
manager.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer()
let params = ["longUrl": "MYURL"]
manager.POST("https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=MYKEY", parameters: params, success: {(operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!,responseObject: AnyObject!) in
println("JSON: " + responseObject.description)
}, failure: { (operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!,error: NSError!) in
println("Error while requesting shortened: " + error.localizedDescription)
})

Unable to get access Token linkedin Oauth

I know some will put comment like this post is duplicate of so many questions, but I've tried many ways to achieve Access Token in linkedin Oauth. Explaining what i tried.
1) I'm following it's official doc's Linkedin Oauth2
2) I'm successfully getting Authorization code from step 2 and passing that code to step 3 for exchanging Auth code for getting Access Token. But i'm getting following error
{"error_description":"missing required parameters, includes an invalid parameter value, parameter more than once. : Unable to retrieve access token : appId or redirect uri does not match authorization code or authorization code expired","error":"invalid_request"}
3) According to some links i need to set content-type in the header.Link which tells to set content-type is missing
4)Then i tried calling https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken this service instead of POSt to GET. And passing data as queryParams.
5) Some link says oauth code expires in 20 sec, So i've checked, i'm making call for access token in less that 1 sec.
6) And if i pass data in Body params like as below and used url as https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken
var postData = {
grant_type: "authorization_code",
code: authCode,
redirect_uri: 'https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url',
client_id: 'my_client_id',
client_secret: 'secret_key'
};
7) With Get call my url i tried
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+authCode+'&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauthtest-mydeployed-app-url&client_id=my_client_id&client_secret=secret_key
Still i'm getting Error even though status code is 200, i'm getting that error(with GET api)
and If POSt by passing postData in body i'm getting bad request 400 status code
Not understanding why m I not getting access code. I've read many solutions.
Sharing code as requested.
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
"sap/m/MessageToast"
], function (Controller, MessageToast) {
"use strict";
return Controller.extend("OauthTest.OauthTest.controller.View1", {

var accessTokenUrl = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken';
$.ajax({

console.log(data);
alert('success');
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown);
alert('error');
}
});
}
}
});
});
Help will be appriciated..!!!
Finally I am happy to post my answer after so much search.
Every step I did is correct only, but one thing I was missing here like, Linkedin API doesn't supports CORS.
I tried implementing Javascript SDK, that works like charm. But API wasn't.
Then I found very helpful Link which says I need to implement Rest API from backend by allowing CORS, not from front end.
Make sure to follow all the points which I mentioned above in my post.
And for Allow CORS follow this link. You will get data but only basic profile of user according to LinkedIn Terms data can be accessible
Hope this post may help someones time to search more

Redirect_URI error when using GoogleAuth.grantOfflineAccess to authenticate on server

I'm trying to use the authorization flow outlined at https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/server-side-flow.
I've created the credentials as indicated... with no Authorized redirect URIs specified as the doc indicates: "The Authorized redirect URI field does not require a value. Redirect URIs are not used with JavaScript APIs."
The code initiating the authorization is:
Client button and callback:
<script>
$('#signinButton').click(function() {
var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
auth2.grantOfflineAccess().then(signInCallback);
});
function signInCallback(authResult) {
console.log('sending to server');
if (authResult['code']) {
// Send the code to the server
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'CheckAuth',
headers: {
'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
},
contentType: 'application/octet-stream; charset=utf-8',
success: function(result) {
// Handle or verify the server response.
},
processData: false,
data: authResult['code']
});
} else {
// There was an error.
}
}
</script>
Server side (CheckAuth method to create credentials from auth code, which it receives correctly via the javascript callback):
private Credential authorize() throws Exception {
// load client secrets
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(clientSecretsPath_);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
GoogleClientSecrets clientSecrets = GoogleClientSecrets.load(JSON_FACTORY, isr);
String redirect_URI = "";
GoogleTokenResponse tokenResponse =
new GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest(
httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY,
"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientId(),
clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientSecret(),
token_,
redirect_URI)
.execute();
String accessToken = tokenResponse.getAccessToken();
// Use access token to call API
GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential().setAccessToken(accessToken);
return credential;
}
The flow works correctly, up until the point my server attempts to exchange the authorization code for the token response (GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest.execute() )... the auth server returns:
400 Bad Request
{
"error" : "invalid_request",
"error_description" : "Missing parameter: redirect_uri"
}
Given the error, I looked in debug at the auth instance in javascript and noted what it indicated was the redirect_uri. I then updated my google credentials and specified that URI in the Authorized redirect URIs (it's the URL that accessed the javascript, as the auth server correctly returns to the specified javascript callback). With the updated credentials and the URI specified in the instantiation of GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest (String redirect_URI = "http://example.com:8080/JavascriptLocation";), the error then becomes:
400 Bad Request
{
"error" : "redirect_uri_mismatch",
"error_description" : "Bad Request"
}
I've tracked all the way through to the actual HttpRequest to the auth server (www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token) and cannot tell what redirect_uri it is looking for.
Does anyone know what the value of redirect_uri should be in this case (when using grantOfflineAccess())? I'm happy to post more of the code, if that is at all helpful... just didn't want to flood the page. Thanks.
Found a reference to "postmessage" right after posting the question... using it as the redirect_URI on the server side seems to generate a successful response from the auth server. So... setting redirect_URI="postmessage" in the code below appears to work in this situation.
GoogleTokenResponse tokenResponse =
new GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest(
httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY,
"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientId(),
clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientSecret(),
token_,
redirect_URI)
.execute();

Invalid signature Open Bank Project Oauth1.0a

I'm developing a React-Native App with Open Bank Project and I can't use suggested SDKs, not even the nodeJS one as Oauth1.0 is not available in RN.
And I'm stuck with a Bad Signature error on Access Token request '/oauth/token' after passed '/oauth/initiate' and '/oauth/authorize' without any problem.
As specified in docs here before accessing to a Protected Resource we need an Access Token via a POST Request, which gives me the Bad Signature answer.
Here is my code for the request:
getAccessToken(verifier){
let request = {
url: 'https://api.openbankproject.com/oauth/token',
method: 'POST',
data: {
oauth_verifier: verifier,
oauth_token: this.auth.oauth_token,
oauth_token_secret: this.auth.oauth_token_secret
}
}
return fetch(this.url_login, {
method: request.method, //POST
form: request.data,
headers: this.oauth.toHeader(this.oauth.authorize(request))
})
.then((res) => {return res.text()})
.then((txt) => {
console.log('setUID', txt, this.url_login, {
method: request.method,
form: request.data,
headers: this.oauth.toHeader(this.oauth.authorize(request))
})
})
Here is the signed request:
Object {method: "POST", form: Object, headers: Object}
form:
oauth_token:"..."
oauth_token_secret:"..."
oauth_verifier:"71531"
headers:
Authorization:
"OAuth oauth_consumer_key="...", oauth_nonce="3UlQ5dx958tibf6lSg0RUGPQFZeV7b8V", oauth_signature="weyE1lFkoIjAErYLKdSi9SDlCZsNBi7%2BuAkLV2PWePo%3D", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA256", oauth_timestamp="1464248944", oauth_token="...", oauth_token_secret="...", oauth_verifier="71531", oauth_version="1.0""
I've tried with and without Oauth_token_secret, also moving oauth_verifier from body to query but with the same Bad Signature result.
Any idea? thx
You can use oauth module https://github.com/ciaranj/node-oauth
var oauth=require('oauth');
var consumer = new oauth.OAuth(
"https://twitter.com/oauth/request_token", "https://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
_twitterConsumerKey, _twitterConsumerSecret, "1.0A", "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sessions/callback", "HMAC-SHA1");
then generating signature like this :
var parameters = consumer._prepareParameters("user_access_token", "user_access_token_secret", "http_method", "request_url");
var headers = consumer._buildAuthorizationHeaders(parameters);
parameters array contains signature, also you can build authorization headers if needed. Hope it helps :)

OSX - AFNetworking sending text even with JSON Serializer set

I have an issue with AFNetworking and AFJSONRequestSerializer. I try to access an API, and the request contains a text/plain header. Here's my code :
class BaseService {
var manager: AFHTTPRequestOperationManager!
init() {
manager = AFHTTPRequestOperationManager()
manager.responseSerializer = AFJSONResponseSerializer()
manager.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer(writingOptions: NSJSONWritingOptions.allZeros)
}
}
class UserService: BaseService {
func startNewEntry(name: String) {
let params = [
"time_entry": [
"description": name,
"created_with": "fooBar"
]
]
manager.POST(
"endpoint",
parameters: params,
success: { (operation, response) -> Void in
let json = JSON(response)
println("OK")
println(json)
Context.shared.entries.getFromJSON(json)
}) { (operation, error) -> Void in
println("-- ERROR --")
println(operation)
println(error)
}
}
Do you know this issue ?
No, this code will create a request with a content type of application/json. But I wonder if you perhaps mislead by an error message that said:
Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/html
If you got that, that's not telling you that that the request had an unacceptable content type, but rather that the request failed because the response was text/html. And this is a very common issue: If server code that is attempting to create a JSON response fails for some reason, sometimes the error message isn't JSON, but rather it's HTML.
I would suggest adding the following inside the failure block of your POST method in order to see what this text/html response was:
if operation.responseData != nil {
println(NSString(data: operation.responseData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding))
}
This way, if you get a text error message from the server (e.g. the request was malformed or what have you), you'll be able to read the HTML response you got back.

How to identifying Response MIME type in sencha

I am struggling to differentiate the response MIME type in sencha touch. My login service is designed in such a way that if the login success then it will give me a JSON object. If it failed to authenticate, then it will return a plan error text.
How can i find the difference? My request looks like this.
Ext.Ajax.request({
url : 'http://xxxx.com/Sencha/LoginServlet?userid='+ agentid + "&password=" + password,
type:'json',
success : function(response, opt) {
alert("response text" + response.responseText);
var obj = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
console.dir(obj);
App.views.viewport.reveal('nextScreen');
},
failure : function(response, opt) {
Ext.Msg.alert('Failed', response.responseText);
}
});
Ext JS internally uses the XMLHttpRequest Object, so the reponse is w3 consortium compliant. Hence you can retrieve the response object properties like in normal javascript. Example :
response.getResponseHeader("Content-Type")
For details on how to retrieve other details from the response object see here.
