I'm working on an app using Pushbullet's API, but I'm running into odd errors when running through the sample code at https://docs.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes/.
I'm executing the following cURL command (in Windows):
curl -k -u <MY_API_KEY>: -X POST https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"type": "note", "title": "Note Title", "body": "Note Body"}'
...but it keeps generating the following error:
{"error": {"type":"invalid_request","message":"The param 'type' has an invalid value.","param":"type","cat":"\u003e:3"}}
It also produces this error:
The other commands for the other endpoints in the documentation work fine...it's just this one.
Got any suggestions? Thanks for the help! :)
It looks like windows doesn't support those kinds of quotes on the command line. Here's an example that works:
curl https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes -X POST -u <access token>: --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary "{\"type\": \"note\", \"title\":\"Note Title\", \"body\": \"Note Body\"}"
I think I'm going to try to replace the curl examples with something that has less confusing behavior.
I figured it out - I don't really know why, but the cURL command wasn't working through the DOS prompt, and also wasn't working using the Postman REST client for Chrome, but I got it working in the DHC extension for Chrome. The trick was setting the Authorization header to "Basic", which resolves the Pushbullet access token to some other form, and makes a successful the HTTP request.
Hope this helps someone down the road if they run into this on Windows!

I was trying to automate creating ENV variables in CI/CD by using API commands, but unfortunately getting 401 Unauthorized error.
Earlier I used to do this in same way and was able to do it.
But now it’s throwing an error, could anyone please help me to find out.
Command:
curl --request POST --header “PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>” \
“https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/1/variables” --form “key=NEW_VARIABLE” --form “value=new value”
Please look into the error message:
The "Create a variable" API call indeed looks like:
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
"https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/1/variables" --form "key=NEW_VARIABLE" --form "value=new value"
(make sure to use the right double-quotes " instead of “)
Double-check the ID of the project (in your case "1") and make sure the user authenticated with your token has the right permissions:
They must be "maintainer" or "owner", in order to have the right to "Manage project-level CI/CD variables".
Example, using a Personal Access Token with api scope, starting with glpat- (glpat-xxxxxxx), I can first list my projects (using jq):
curl -XGET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-xxxx" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/owned?=true"|jq ".[] | \"\(.id) \(.path_with_namespace)\""
That allows me to find the project id
I can then list variables for an existing project:
curl -XGET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-xxxx" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<projectId>/variables"
Result:
[]
I have none on that project.
I will set one with:
curl -XPOST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-xxxx" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<projectId>/variables" --form "key=NEW_VARIABLE" --form "value=new value"
Result:
{"variable_type":"env_var","key":"NEW_VARIABLE","value":"new value","protected":false,"masked":false,"environment_scope":"*"}
Let's double-check with:
curl -XGET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-xxxx" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<projectId>/variables"
Result:
[{"variable_type":"env_var","key":"NEW_VARIABLE","value":"new value","protected":false,"masked":false,"environment_scope":"*"}]
It does work.
The OP Anirban Das confirms in the comments an issue with how Postman was used:
Actually in the body of Postman, select 'form', there I had mentioned directly key name in the Key section and value in the Value section.
But that was not correct.
In the Key section, we need to mention "key" and key name should be in Value section.
Similarly "value" in key section and it's value in Value section.
Once this worked, you will see "</>" icon in right navigation pane, which will provide you corresponding curl command
I want to list (count actually) the comments made on a GitHub pull request.
As per the documentation, I am using the following curl command to hit the GitHub API
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "Authorization: token abcdefg123457" https://api.github.com/repos/MyOrg/MyRepo/pulls/2/comments
The result is the following:
[
]
despite me seeing comments on #PR2.
What am I missing?
I tried this example in the console from the https://dev.mailjet.com/ :
curl -s -X POST --user "user:pass" https://api.mailjet.com/v3/REST/send -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
and the result is always
{ "ErrorInfo" : "", "ErrorMessage" : "Unknown resource: \"send\"",
"StatusCode" : 400 }
If I try other get requests, like /contact the result is with success.
Please help
The URL you're using is not the right one. Please change it to https://api.mailjet.com/v3/send.
Please visit the dedicated API guide for our transactional API here https://dev.mailjet.com/guides/#send-transactional-email
Hope it helps.
hAPI coding with Mailjet API!
using this URL as a reference and attempting token exchange with client ID and secret:
https://developers.onelogin.com/api-docs/1/oauth20-tokens/generate-tokens
I get a 404 error for the URL provided. I'm using:
https://api.us.onelogin.com/auth/oauth2/token
Am I missing something from the docs? Thanks!
The API is working for me. Just curious - are you using the POST method?
Have you tried the CURL example at the bottom of the doc page?
Just to be clear, you need to sub in your shard, which is prob us.
Like
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: client_id:{enteryours}, client_secret:{enteryours}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "grant_type":"client_credentials" }' 'https://api.us.onelogin.com/auth/oauth2/token'
So I got the data that is being sent to a specific server. Now I want to do the same using curl from my local machine to play around with specific repsonses from the server and learn more about curl as well.
Here is part of my data
POST /auth HTTP/1.1
platform: android
X-Auth-Token: <censored>
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: api.blabla.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip
And the data that is being sent:
{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}
Now when I try cURL in my dos shell, I try
curl --insecure -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}'
The response I get from cURL is this:
{"code":401,"error":"blablaTokenRequired"}
Even though I specified the token. So there are two possible scenarios because the token is correct:
It has something to do with the SSL thing? (I use --insecure because I get an SSL error otherwise)
Something about my command is not correct but I can't figure out what.
Can someone kindly help me out? I am trying everything I can without success
I am not sure if I understand your application specific right, but probably one thing you need to take into account:
man curl says:
-d, --data <data>
(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in the same way that a browser does when
a user has filled in an HTML form and presses the submit button. This will cause curl to pass the data to the
server using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to -F, --form.
-d, --data is the same as --data-ascii. --data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpreta‐
tion of the # character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the --data-binary option. To URL-
encode the value of a form field you may use --data-urlencode.
As I can't see in your example the necessity of sending data as HTML form input, probably your application expects just a "raw" POST body and then you have to try this:
curl --insecure -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data--binary '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}'
PS and for sure this is error is not about using --insecure which just asks curl to neglect ssl verification
you forgot the headers and enabling compressed encoding (gzip), however, i believe you can't force curl to only support gzip encoding using the curl command line alone, you will have to use libcurl, this will make the request say "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" on most systems, using --compressed .. if that's not acceptable to you, rewrite it using libcurl (where you can force it to say only "gzip", if you wish, via CURLOPT_ENCODING )
curl -X POST https://api.blabla.com/auth --data '{"blabla_token": "sdsadsad", "blahblah_id": "23213", "locale": "us"}' --header 'platform: android' --header 'X-Auth-Token: <censored>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Host: api.blabla.com' --compressed
another gotcha: on some systems, there will be a default useragent header (like debian 6), while on some systems, curl comes without a default useragent (like debian 8).. you might want to use --user-agent '' too
