i must download some information from API exposed by a server, but whit information in my hand i'm very in difficult.
my code :
Dim request As HttpWebRequest
Dim response As HttpWebResponse = Nothing
Dim reader As StreamReader
Dim address As Uri
Dim data As StringBuilder
Dim byteData() As Byte
Dim postStream As Stream = Nothing
address = New Uri("https://www.xxxxxxx.com/api/ajax/widget/refreshWidget")
request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(address), HttpWebRequest)
request.Method = "POST"
request.Headers("Authorization") = "Bearer " & "owvNGiOautorizzazoGDNHVGpSO2xcVzE8207JqnjNj"
request.Accept = "application/json"
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data"
request.Host = "www.xxxxxxx.com"
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
request.Headers.Add("userid", "238")
request.Headers.Add("usernodeid", "1036")
request.Headers.Add("dashboardid", "589")
request.Headers.Add("widgetid", "6699")
data = New StringBuilder()
'data.Append("type: " & HttpUtility.UrlEncode("datatable"))
data.Append(body) 'HttpUtility.UrlEncode(body))
byteData = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString())
request.ContentLength = byteData.Length
Try
postStream = request.GetRequestStream()
postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length)
Finally
If Not postStream Is Nothing Then postStream.Close()
End Try
Try
response = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
reader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
Debug.Print(reader.ReadToEnd())
Finally
If Not response Is Nothing Then response.Close()
End Try
with this code i can access to API whit no error,
but i can't receive anythings.
I just want to POST a body data in a x-www-form-urlencoded format in a specific URL. I searched a lot but I only found how to send a parameter in an HTTP request post in VB.NET.
This is my code, but when I see the output it is just sending the post parameter:
Try
Dim TextBox10 = "12637"
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://ptsv2.com/t/delh1-1545643919")
request.Method = "POST"
Dim postbody As String = "employee_id=" + TextBox1.Text + "&company_code=" + TextBox2.Text + "®_key=" + TextBox3.Text + ""
Dim requestBody As String = "FormFieldName=Hello+World!"
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postbody)
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
dataStream.Close()
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Console.WriteLine((CType(response, HttpWebResponse)).StatusDescription)
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
TextBox4.Text = responseFromServer
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer)
'Clean up the streams.
reader.Close()
dataStream.Close()
response.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("NO DATA FOUND / CHECK INTERNET CONNECTION")
TextBox4.Text = ""
TextBox3.Text = ""
TextBox2.Text = ""
End Try
This is the output of the posted code:
How should I send the body data?
I'm trying to send sms from win7 pc/64bit, visual studio 2015, vb.net,
using Huawei Wingle e8231s - 2 GSM Wifi Stick,
The GSM Wifi Stick web interface makes calls to API that I'm trying to mimic.
To do so, a Login request must done first, with header contains both verification token and cookie(session id), which I can get by requesting from the wingle webserver.
I always have The response code is 108006 which is incorrect username or password.
My code:
Public Sub Main()
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.8.1/api/webserver/SesTokInfo")
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim dataStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
' Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
' Read the content.
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
' Extract the header: cookie is the session id.

You need to have a cookie container and keep your container with the cookies for subsequent calls. You first do a GET to retreive the security token and/or other cookies then you make other calls like login etc.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
Dim FormData As String = "login_user=&wallet=0x29a450d32a95b0b08230b93cc9ac328db81dc80e"
Dim cookiejar As New CookieContainer
Dim webreq As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("https://somesite.org")
Dim responseReader As StreamReader
Dim responseData As String
Dim requestWriter As StreamWriter
webreq.Method = HttpMethod.Get.Method
webreq.CookieContainer = cookiejar
Dim xxx As HttpWebResponse = webreq.GetResponse()
responseReader = New StreamReader(webreq.GetResponse.GetResponseStream())
responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd()
responseReader.Close()
webreq = HttpWebRequest.Create("https://somesite.org")
webreq.Accept = "text/html"
webreq.Method = HttpMethod.Post.Method
webreq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
webreq.ContentLength = FormData.Length
webreq.CookieContainer = cookiejar
requestWriter = New StreamWriter(webreq.GetRequestStream)
requestWriter.Write(FormData)
requestWriter.Close()
responseReader = New StreamReader(webreq.GetResponse.GetResponseStream())
responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd()
responseReader.Close()

Test it out I am not a .net guy. Good Luck!
The cleaner approach is to create a Session for HTTP requests instead of hitting individual api endpoints. In this case the cookies will be sent by default.If you have enough time you can explore AT commands also. Good luck!

I have been trying to send an HTTP post to a web service and got this message:
"The 'Content-Type' header must be modified using the appropiat
property or method, Parameter nama:name"
This happens when i try to update a customer with this JSON fotmat :
{"display_name":"john smith","email":"johnsmith#something","company_name":"enterprise"}
This is a part of the code i have been using to connect to the API:
Dim sUrl As String = "https://subscriptions.zoho.com/api/v1/customers"
Dim wHeader As WebHeaderCollection = New WebHeaderCollection()
Dim wRequest As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(sUrl), HttpWebRequest)
wHeader.Clear()
wHeader.Add("Authorization: Zoho-authtoken 7ca5747efb3be868e155e707e679f9f5")
wHeader.Add("X-com-zoho-subscriptions-organizationid: 397080968")
wHeader.Add("Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8")
wRequest.Accept = "application/json"
MsgBox(wHeader.ToString)
wRequest.Headers = wHeader
wRequest.Method = "POST"
Dim postData As String = sw.ToString
MsgBox(postData)
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
wRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Dim dataStream As Stream = wRequest.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
dataStream.Close()
Dim response As WebResponse = wRequest.GetResponse()
Console.WriteLine(CType(response, HttpWebResponse).StatusDescription)
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer)
LblResponse.Text = sResponse
Console.WriteLine(sResponse)
reader.Close()
dataStream.Close()
response.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
If ex.InnerException IsNot Nothing Then
LblResponse.Text = ex.Message + " >> " + ex.InnerException.ToString()
Else
LblResponse.Text = ex.Message
End If
End Try
any ideas ?
I have a script returns a string:
http://example.com/script.php
PHP script:
$data = $_GET['q'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE ID = '$data'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
print $num;
I want to connect this script with VB, using this code
Dim con As String
con = "http://example.com/script.php?q=" & My.Settings.setq
Dim request = HttpWebRequest.Create(con)
request.Method = "GET"
Dim response = request.GetResponse()
Using reader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
msgbox(reader.ReadToEnd())
End Using
It is not working. How can i do that?
EDIT: I found solution
here
Dim uri As New Uri("http://example.com")
Dim data As String = "data"
If (uri.Scheme = uri.UriSchemeHttp) Then
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(uri)
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post
request.ContentLength = data.Length
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream())
writer.Write(data)
writer.Close()
Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim reader As New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
Dim tmp As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
response.Close()
Using wc As New System.Net.WebClient()
MsgBox(wc.DownloadString(String.Format("http://example.com/script.php?q={0}", My.Settings.setq)))
End Using
