I'm trying to connect to ActiveCollab API trial account with Postman.
I'm stuck at the beginning, because I can't get the required token.
I tried unsuccessfully (got an error) to run the below command in CMD and Powershell:
curl -XPOST -d 'email=mymail#gmail.com&password=myPassword' https://activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login
Error:
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' for more information
'password' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
then I tried to make the call with postman GET and POST method
url: https://activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login?email=mymail#gmail.com&password=myPassword
with and without parameters, with basic authentication, no authentication and APIkey authentication.....
Also tryed with https://app.activecollab.com/205491/issue-token
with body type json:
{
"username": "mymail#gmail.com",
"password": "maypassword",
}
and with username and password in headers, with no success
Can anybody make or describe how to make a postman call to get the token and an simple example how to get/add project.
Does anybody know if this documentation is up to date?
It's described at this page:
https://developers.activecollab.com/api-documentation/v1/authentication.html
Your correct endpoint would be: https://app.activecollab.com/205491/api/v1/issue-token

I want to start a notebook server as described here. I learnt that I need to get an auth token from this and so wanted to get the same, I have to use the api as described here. It always states "Method not allowed, 405". I am unable to figure out what is the right way to do this.
I tried the following post requests:
http://MY_JHUB_ON_K8S_SERVER.com/authorizations/token
with the body of JSON/Application:
{
"username": "aviral",
"password": "aviral",
}
The headers are:
[{"key":"Content-Type","name":"Content-Type","value":"application/json","description":"","type":"text"}]
In Postman, I had tried basic auth as well as no auth. In the basic auth, I pasted the username and password, while when there was no auth, I put the same in the json body
I expect to get the token so that I can start a server. Right now, regardless of the permutation and combination, I am getting 405.
This seems to be possible using the oath api endpoint but I wasn't successful.
Instead I run this command on the jupyterhub server to generate a token
jupyterhub token myusername
and then calls should work properly using the rest api:
curl --insecure 'https://myjupyterhubserver:8443/hub/api/users' \
-H 'Authorization: Token mygeneratedtoken'
I am currently trying to complete this step by step tutorial which is based on Getting a 3-Legged Token with Authorization Code Grant
here is my cURL code:
curl -v "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/authentication/v1/gettoken"
-X POST
-H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
-d "client_id=****&
client_secret=****&
grant_type=authorization_code&
code=1O4F-z9gXRtGlBymcGoD3bV3Ws2cqqjeN78PpgGn&
redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/forge/callback/oauth"
here is the error I am stuck with:
{"developerMessage":"The authorization code/refresh token is expired or
invalid/redirect_uri must have the same value as in the authorization
request.","userMessage":"","errorCode":"AUTH-004","more
info":"http://developer.api.autodesk.com/documentation/v1/errors/AUTH-004"}*
Connection #0 to host developer.api.autodesk.com left intact
Note:
I have double checked that the URI is the same as my callback URL on the forge application.
The spacing on the cURL code is simply for visual reasons, this is not how it is ran within my command line.
I think what's going on is that the code you get after the user logs in has an extremely short expiration time. After all, the POST /authentication/v1/gettoken endpoint is meant to be called immediately after the user logs in.
Btw. I went through the same steps, and since it took me a while to create a Postman request with the code I received, I ended up with the same error as you. Then, when I requested another code and immediately re-sent the Postman request, it succeeded.
I want to use Oauth2 and Spring-security with rest web service. I am new for this, i am trying to create configuration with the help of some websites. Still, i clearly not understand how and what is the flow for oauth authenticate for rest service. i am using latest dependencies Click on the link for see my configurations. I am using database for store clients information and tokens. when i trying to access the token, using follwoing url with post request and post body:
http://localhost:8080/empirecl-api/oauth/token
grant_type=password&username=a#a.com&password=password&client_id=my-client-with-secret&client_secret=ak_secret
The basic authentication pop-up box will appear. I am using chrome rest postman client. I have user table in my database where i store, username and password, when i enter those username and password, the authentication fail, If i use i my client_id and client_secret as a username and password, the authentication is fail. When i cancel the pop of basic authentication following json is return:
{
"error": "unauthorized",
"error_description": "No client with requested id: a#a.com"
}
I am unable to figure out what will happen.
When i trying to access following url with get reqquest:
http://localhost:8080/empirecl-api/oauth/authorize?grant_type=password&username=a#a.com&password=password
The following error will return:
{
"error": {
"error": "invalid_client",
"error_description": "Bad client credentials"
}
}
When i check the error in console, of eclipse, the follwoing error is display:
AuthorizationEndpoint:436 - Handling ClientRegistrationException error: No client with requested id: null
How i resolve this problem and how to use Oauth with my rest api. I also want to secure my all rest url with Oauth.
There are a couple of things wrong here.
You are using the wrong endpoint - the request should be to the token endpoint, not the authorization endpoint.
It should be a POST request - you shouldn't be passing the parameters in the URL
You are confusing when the user has to authenticate and when the client does - the server was looking for Basic credentials from the client but you were entering the username.
See the oauth2 spec section on using the resource owner password grant.
The client needs to authenticate and, as porterhead points out, you can do this using Basic authentication. The spec does also allow passing of the client id and secret as post parameters, but prefers Basic authentication.
You should probably make sure you understand a bit more about how OAuth2 works, and perhaps expand your question to explain why you want to use it and why you've chosen this particular grant type.
You need to pass your client username and password as a Base64 encoded Authorization header.
Try using curl. Here is an example:
curl -v -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Basic MzUzYjMwMmM0NDU3NGY1NjUwNDU2ODdlNTM0ZTdkNmE6Mjg2OTI0Njk3ZTYxNWE2NzJhNjQ2YTQ5MzU0NTY0NmM=" \
'http://localhost:8080/empirecl-api/oauth/token?grant_type=password&username=a#a.com&password=password'
I have a working example described here
I'm running a tomcat server with a REST service on localhost.
This url typed in the browser gives me a json response: http://localhost:8080/a/rest/dataset/list
But when I use curl: curl http://localhost:8080/a/rest/dataset/list the response is HTML code with a 404 error from the server.
What am I missing in the curl command?
Tomcat may be waiting for a specially formatted HTTP request from the user. As you are expecting a response in json, you should probably forward the following argument to curl :
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Also, you may always specify to whatever HTTP server the response you are expecting him to return. A lot of back-end application based on HTTP are issuing a response given the HTTP request.
I have been trying to get a stock Drupal site up and running with JSON Server module and Services. After install I added the two modules and enabled them. When I use Curl from the command line to call system.connect or anything I only get Invalid Method.
curl --data method=system.connect http://localhost/services/json
This is what I am getting back.
{ "#error": true, "#data": "Invalid method " }
I remember having the same problem myself a while back. Your problem at the moment is that your post data does not have quotes.
curl --data 'method="system.connect"' http://localhost/services/json
If you have a look at this: http://drupal.org/node/305799 it should give you loads more info to get you going with services and the json server.
