Need to send a header to get past security to take a screenshot of a page using wkhtmltopdf. I need to send a header the looks like:
"Authorization=Basic " + some base 64 set of characters.
for some reason nothing I do works... I've tried
--custom-header "Authorization" "Basic ectectect"
--custom-header "Authorization"="Basic ectectect"
--custom-header "Authorization=Basic ectectect"
Some help would be appreciated... the documentation is not so good.
So I know this question is old, but I just had this problem and of the 2-3 mentions of it anywhere on the web, no answers were found. In my case, I was calling a page that makes an ajax request to load data. Without using --custom-header-propagation, the authorization header I specified wasn't being propagated to this subsequent ajax request, which is why it appeared to fail with an authorization error.
Try:
Authorization "Basic tokenHere"

While making access token request from Headers, I'm getting below error.
Error-
{
"error": "unsupported_grant_type",
"error_description": "grant type not supported"
}
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Please help!

You used wrong tab.
Headers should be just 1-2:
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept:application/json
Your actual params are supposed to go to the body. Which you can type in manually or in postman's bulk edit syntax it'll be
grant_type:password
client_id:3MVG97sr...
client_secret:CE6C05...
username:example#example.com
password:Hunter2
If you're stuck - edit your question with the postman's "code" output (HTTP or cURL are probably best for wider audience to help you), just edit out the sensitive bits.
P.S. Check https://github.com/forcedotcom/postman-salesforce-apis out. It's bit more work to set the environment variables up, create an account with Postman to fork the repository... But in the long run saves reading documentation and typing all calls by hand.
I know this is probably strictly case-specific, but I do feel like I encounter this problem a lot so I will make an effort to try and understand it better.
I am new to using APIs, but I have never succeeded in using one without copying someone's code. In this case, I can't even find any examples on forums, nor in the API documentation.
I'm trying to pull my balance value from my investment bank "NordNet" to scroll, amongst other things, on an Arduino display I've made. Right now I use python Selenium to automatically but "physically" login to NordNet and grab my balance from the DOM. As I'm afraid I might get "punished" for such botted behavior, and because the script is fairly high maintenance (as the HTML changes over time), I would obviously much rather get this information through NordNet's new API.
Link to NordNets API doc
Every time I try to utilize an API doc it's always the same, it looks easy, but I can never get it to work.
This time I tried to just play a little with the API before exploring further.
I use PostMan to send the simplest request:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2
And I get a successful code 200 JSON response.
I then try to take it a step further to access my account data using this endpoint:
https://www.nordnet.se/api/2/accounts
For this one, I obviously need some authentication of some sort
The doc looks like this:
So I set my PostMan client up like this and get the response showcased:
I've put my NordNet login into the "Auth" tab as "basic auth" and I then see PostMan encrypts this info some way, in the "Headers" tab.
I'm getting an unauthorized response code and I have no idea why. Am I using PostMan wrong (probably)? Is the API faulty (probably not)? There is a mention of a session_id that should contain both password and username? Maybe something completely else...
I hope you can help
The documentation says to use session_id as username and password for that api ,
so try logging in and then get the session id (try with both sid and ssid) . from network tab and pass it as username and password for authorization .
sid- is for http and ssid for https i guess , try with both
I have a Google spreadsheet published to the web, and I'm trying to read and write list-based feeds. I have not authenticated.
I can read data using a GET request just fine.
curl https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1WngGKZHauwBqRxgC5E6DFMiJ-J8BDsadfwerF4RE0M/1/public/full
However, all my post requests to write data come back with an error
curl --data '' https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1WngGKZHauwBqRxgC5E6DFMiJ-J8BDlN3mMaBfF4RE0M/1/public/full
curl --data '<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gsx="http://schemas.google.com/spreadsheets/2006/extended"><gsx:id>1</gsx:id><gsx:status>1</gsx:status><gsx:user_email>1</gsx:user_email><gsx:url domain>1</gsx:url domain><gsx:highlighted_text>1</gsx:highlighted_text><gsx:complete_text comments>1</gsx:complete_text comments><gsx:created_date>1</gsx:created_date><gsx:updated_date>1</gsx:updated_date><gsx:created_by>1</gsx:created_by><gsx:updated_by>1</gsx:updated_by></entry>' https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1WngGKZHauwBqRxgC5E6DFMiJ-J8BDlN3mMaBfF4RE0M/1/public/full
The error I'm getting is: "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist. Please check the address and try again."
Do POST request require authentication? I can't find anything in the docs that say so.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Two things:
I think you need to use the private feed (.../private/full), not the public one (.../public/full) like you're using now. More on the private-versus-public distinction is in the API docs.
You will need an Authorization header. (That process gets pretty complicated, but there's a lot of good info here. Remember to select the appropriate scopes.)
Both are mentioned in the example about adding a list row in the Sheets API docs. (I'd link directly, but I don't have enough rep to add more than two links. Just search for "Adding a list row".)
Here's the API.
This is my first time working with web APIs so bear with me. Where do the name-value pairs listed under each call belong in my HTTP request? Do they go in the URL, the headers, or the body? Is it different depending on if it's a GET request or a POST?
Are the answers to these questions true in general, i.e. for any web API?
Where do the name-value pairs listed under each call belong in my HTTP request?
In a GET, they're in the URL's query string. in a POST, they're in the request body. Headers never contain request parameters, but things like Content-length do control them, a bit. You might also run across JSON in a POST body (I can't remember if reddit does this). This is not reddit-specific, and is standard HTTP.
I am using the Yahoo Placemaker API and would like to send a request but I am getting confused as to how to send the request. The request is composed of a URL and a document and inside the document, there are a bunch of parameters. Please see below.
http://wherein.yahooapis.com/v1/document
documentContent=Sunnyvale+CA
documentType=text/plain
appid=my_appid
How do I format the URL into a request is it like so?
http://wherein.yahooapis.com/v1/documentContent=Sunnyvale+CA?documentType=text/plain?appid=my_appid
I would like to use this the Placemaker service for a Mac app written in objective-c.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
You don't. The URI and the request body are different things.
It would be helpful if you explained why you're asking. What platform/API/language are you using?
