Does anyone know how to call the Clockify API in Power Bi?
I just cant seem to get it right. I have read through the Clockify API documentation and the I cant transpose the code in Power Bi.
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.clockify.me/api/",
[Headers=[Accept="application/json", #"x-api-key"="xxxxxxxxxx"]])),
messages = Source[messages]
in
Source
So I don't know PBI but one issue I think I see with your call is the "Headers" should include a "Content-Type" - "application/json" header. You don't need the "Accept" header. And you might have shortened it, but your endpoint URL needs an actual endpoint - https://api.clockify.me/api/ won't return anything. Instead you should test trying to get the workspace information, for example, which I think would look something like this:
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.clockify.me/api/workspaces/",
[Headers=[#"x-api-key"="xxxxxxxxxx"]])),
messages = Source[messages]
in
Source
This one doesn't need the content-type header because it's just a GET request. I don't know how PBI creates different types of requests, but certain requests need to be GET requests, while others need to be POST/PUT/DELETE/etc.
did you get around this? there is no support on official website of clockify as for now, but it seems that it could be done by the clockify API but same as your code it does not run.

I am trying to get the fingerprint as can be seen from this snapshot.
I tried searching for the fingerprint but it's not in the response or cookies. I am wondering how this fingerprintjs works so that I can imitate and return the fingerprint item.
The website is https://alfagift.id/
When you take a look into network, especially categories, there's a preflight and an xhr where it is initiated by https://alfagift.id/_nuxt/ca268e7.js
I've tried doing a requests
resp=requests.get(" https://alfagift.id/")
resp.cookies
nothing seems to be returning the fingerprint that's needed.
Can anyone show me how you can get the fingerprint?
This file's rendering and executing the fingerprinting script on the client side: https://alfagift.id/_nuxt/f9d159c.js

Goal
I want to make a request to a website with Python requests to scrape some information for containers location and time.
This is the website I'm trying to get data from : https://www.cma-cgm.com/ebusiness/tracking by inserting the container number.
I'm trying something simple, like :
import requests
url = "some_url_i_cant_find"
tracking_number = ABCD1234567
requests.post(url, payload=tracking_number)
Problem
I cannot find in the Network tab how the request to get the container's data is being processed.
I assume this has something to do with reCAPTCHA, but I don't know much about this or how to handle it.

Some other answer or topic regarding this issue
How to make a request to this website and read the response.
I've been reading a bit about post and get methods in http and I'm a bit confused
from the words themselves it sounds like GET is to get something/a resource from somewhere and POST is to send something somewhere
so I could do something like:
axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users) and I have received the list of users. that makes perfect sense
and I could do a POST request once a user has submitted my form to a database. easy
the bit that confuses me is when people say to use a POST instead of a GET. like how would I return the users from the url above using a POST? also the verbs sound weird if you are using POST to receive data??
also I read that GET requests can only take stuff over the url whereas POST has a response body. but in my example above with the users I got all the users in an array back to my app using GET and nothing changed in the url?
can someone help clarify this and explain how to use a POST when doing a GET
It really depends on the specific endpoint you are accessing. You shouldn't use a POST in lieu of a GET request if your goal is simply to read a list of users from the server. Also, if an endpoint is created as only accepting GET requests and you send a POST request then you will get a 405 "Method not allowed" in response. However, if the endpoint allows both POST and GET in order to read a list of users from the server then it depends on the use case for this POST method. The reasons can vary from security to specifying (in the body) the format in which you would like the data returned.
When I send a one-off document to RightSignature via their API, I'm specifying a callback location in the XML document as specified in RightSignature's schema definition. I then get a signer-link value back from their API for the document. I display the HTML response from the signer-link URL in an iFrame on our website. When our user signs the document in this iFrame, which is rendering the responses from their website, I want their website to post to our callback location.
Can I do this with the RightSignature API and does it make sense?
So far, I'm only getting content in the iFrame that indicates that the signing was successful. The callback location does not seem to be getting called.
I got it solved just now. Basically, i was doing two things wrong first you have to go in RightSignature Account and set it there the CallBack url
Account > Settings > Advanced Settings
But the thing which RS is unable to mention to us that this url can not be of localhost, but it should be of https i mean like Live URL of your site like
https://stagingmysite.azurewebsites.net/User/CallBackFunction
And then in your CallBack just write these two lines and you will receive complete XML which would have the GUID and document status as well.
byte[] data = Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes);
string callBackXML = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);
I found the answer with some help from the API team at RightSignature. I was using callback_location but what I really wanted is redirect_location. Their online documentation was difficult to follow and did not clearly point out the difference.
I got this working after a lot of trial and error.
Is there any way to determine if a POST endpoint exists without actually sending a POST request?
For GET endpoints, it's not problem to check for 404s, but I'd like to check POST endpoints without triggering whatever action resides on the remote url.
Sending an OPTIONS request may work
It may not be implemented widely but the standard way to do this is via the OPTIONS verb.
WARNING: This should be idempotent but a non-compliant server may do very bad things
OPTIONS
Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports for specified URL. This can be used to check the functionality of a web server by requesting '*' instead of a specific resource.
More information here
This is not possible by definition.
The URL that you're posting to could be run by anything, and there is no requirement that the server behave consistently.
The best you could do is to send a GET and see what happens; however, this will result in both false positives and false negatives.
You could send a HEAD request, if the server you are calling support it - the response will typically be way smaller than a GET.
Does endpoint = script? It was a little confusing.
I would first point out, why would you be POSTing somewhere if it doesn't exist? It seems a little silly?
Anyway, if there is really some element of uncertainty with your POST URL, you can use cURL, then set the header option in the cURL response. I would suggest that if you do this that you save all validated POSTs if its likely that the POST url would be used again.
You can send your entire POST at the same time as doing the CURL then check to see if its errored out.
I think you probably answered this question yourself in your tags of your question with cURL.
