Setting Tag Using Google Cloud Api - google-apis-explorer

I'm trying to set Tag for a server with google api. But for some reason its not setting the tag and its not giving back any error.
I use the example from https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances/setTags
I also tried calling the same method using live api requests which also gives me 200 but the tag is not getting set.Api Live Request
Can someone please help?

So i figured it out. We need to pass "fingerprint" along with the tag body to make changes to the metadata.
I think if fingerprint was missing, the response should not be 200?

ReactJS + Redux: Why getting 'POST' net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED?

I am following https://auth0.com/blog/secure-your-react-and-redux-app-with-jwt-authentication/ at the moment, and I pretty much did the same, yet I am still getting the following error:
Is http://localhost:3001/sessions/create down? If not, what may be the cause of the error?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT
I set up my Express to port 3000 as well, just like how it is shown in the tutorial and used the same API url.
Issue could be because you are not setting a base URL in the API calls.
For example, if you are using Auth0 as a service, then API URL in requests must be as below,
axios.post('https://your.auth0.url/sessions/create', data);
(Assuming that you are using axios)
I suppose the current configuration is as below,
axios.post('/sessions/create', data);
and it takes the relative URL and it will be from the app serving the rendering of base page, in your case that is localhost:3001
It is advised to keep the base url (http://auth0.your.url) as an environment variable and can be supplied while running the app.
If you are using webpack take a look at Webpack define plugin also.

WooCommerce api authentication error oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing

I try to fetch all product data list in json from WooCommerce API and type address bar http://www.batata.in/wc-api/v3/orders. But it give an error:
{"errors"[{"code":"woocommerce_api_authentication_error","message":"oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing"}]}
I tried all things but issue is not fixed. Rest API is on.
If anybody know any other way to find product list in json format from WooCommerce WordPress plugins, then please tell me.
I have faced the same problem. After some research, I have solved this issue. Kindly check that your site secure or not [http or https]. I missed the "s" for http.
Please note that you need to provide consumer key, nonce, signature with your rest api call. Following is the format which worked for me.
http://SomeURL.com/wc-api/v2/orders?oauth_consumer_key=########&oauth_timestamp=######&oauth_nonce=#############&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA256&oauth_signature=##########################
For generating nonce and signature I recommend you use some wrapper available for your platform. I used php so got a nice library here.
https://github.com/woocommerce/wc-api-php
Important:- Even after following all above steps correct I got the same issue you faced. It kept giving me error "oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing" which actually was misleading. The issue I figured out was the basic http auth. I had http authentication in place so the curl request I used to fire was returning 401 unauthorized. If you are using php you will understand following line.
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME:PASSWORD");
And it worked. So point here is you can try this or play around with your curl/socket or any client you are building and don't focus on the error message as it is misleading most of the time.
Sandipa Mukherjee's answer is right.
For http:// additional oauth parameters are required, because it's not safe.
My suggestion is to use the https:// server for wordpress.

how to reverse engineer an http API call using REST console

I'm trying to replicate a request I make on a website (ie zoominfo.com) using the same http POST parameters using chrome rest console, but it fails for some reason. I'm not sure if there is a missing field or it's not working because the origin of the request isn't valid.. can someone point me out in the right direction? Below is a detailed explanation of the experiment:
ORIGINAL CASE
basically if I go to zoominfo.com (registered and all) I see a form page that I need to fill:
if I hit enter.. the site makes an ajax call. If I open the chrome web dev tools, and open the network tab, I see the details of the ajax call:
notice the body of the POST has the name John Becker in it:
{"boardMember":{"value":"Include","isUsed":true},"workHistory":{"value":"CurrentAndPast","isUsed":true},"includePartialProfiles":{"value":true,"isUsed":true},"personName":{"value":"john%20becker","isUsed":true},"lastUpdated":{"value":0,"isUsed":true}}
the response is shown under the respones tag:
WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO
basically replicate what i've done above using a REST console (note: so there is nothing illegal here.. i'm just replacing a chrome browser action with a rest client action.. i'm not hacking anyone and i'm not getting information I can't get the normal way, but if someone feels otherwise.. please let me know)..
so I plug in the same parameters as above into the rest console:
now i'm not sure about authentication.. but just to be safe, i entered the same user name and pwd i have for the site into the REST console:
but then I keep on getting an error as a response to my rest console's request:
UPDATE: CORRECT ANSWER:
so according to JMTyler's answer.. I had to simply include criteria in the RAW body, and convert it to url encoding.. in addition to that, I had to explicitly set the encoding in the rest console body..
looking at the chrome inspector more closely, it turns out that I simply had to click on view source:
to get the url-encoded value that I needed to put in the RAW body in the rest console:
I also had to set encoding to gzip,deflate,sdch and things worked fine!
The form is posting all that JSON under the field criteria. You can see this in the screencap of the chrome dev console you posted.
Just start your raw body in rest console with criteria= and make sure the json has been url-encoded. That should do it.
No authentication is needed because none is passed through the headers in your screencap. Any cookies you have when you load the page normally will also be loaded through rest console, so you don't need to worry about explicitly setting them.
Reading your problems I'll make an educated guess:
zoominfo does not provide an RESTful API.
Rest-Console understands and uses HTTP Authentication, which is different from the authentication handler zoominfo implemented.
A possible way to work around may be:
Make a call to the login-page via rest console. you'll get back cookies and a lot more.
In subsequent requests to zoominfo be sure to include those cookies (likely holding some session information) in your request, therefore acting like a browser.

Contact API directly from URL in browser

I am trying to understand how POST and/or GET methods work in terms of the actual browser.
I am attempting to contact an API which requires API key, method you wish to use on their side, and an IP address at the minimum.
My original idea was to do something like this:
I feel like I'm on the right track, it does something and gets an error as opposed to telling me the page does not exist. I'm expecting either JSON or XML in response as the API supports both but instead I get this error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Upon studying the documentation of the API more, I found something saying that methods are called using HTML form application/x-www-form-urlencoded and the resuource models are given as form elements.
I tried researching what that means to see what the problem was and found this site http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/ but I'm still unclear.
Ideas?
It seems to mean that the application is expecting a POST method but you're doing a request with a GET method (when you use the querystrings).
Since you can't just do browser requests using POST using the address bar, you may need to:
Construct a simple JS function that does a xmlhttprequest request using that method instead, and running it from the console;
Create a simple HTML page that automates the above process, allowing you do make POST calls;
Using CURL instead, which is a great tool for testing those kinds of requests.

jsFiddle how to get json?

Hy,
I'm working on a jsFiddle with a openlayers example in it.
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.11/examples/snapping.html
At the moment it's not working because it's not getting a response for the http request to get data. How do I fix that?
The jsFiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/TcuxA/6/
Go to the line "// create three vector layers" in the script.
There are 3 requests for data. If you type the URLs in your browser you get the JSON, but my firebug gives 3 errors when I run the jsFiddle.
I tried fixing with jsFiddle echo ( http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/echo.html ), but that didn't work. I don't know how to change the script to load the data otherwise.
Why can't I get the json by these URLs? What are good sollutions?
What you are experiencing is an exception being thrown by the XMLHttpRequest object, because you are using AJAX to call elements from different domain. This is better said, for example, in here:
"The XMLHttpRequest object is prevented from calling web services from outside its own domain. This is sensible given that if you called a script in one place and it, in turn, called a script on another server, it could leave an application open to all sorts of malicious scripts, hacks and exploits."
So the easiest way to do is to code it locally and call a local copy of the files (poly.json, line.json and point.json) that would reside on your local server. For testing if all displays on a map you could hard-code the files into your code. I am not sure how it could be achieved otherwise.
A good solution can be this : using github responses . You can store your example in github, along with the predefined XHR requests responses.
