This is probably a simple question, but I am trying to make a server-side API call to a third-party. Initially, it will be triggered by a client method call, but ultimately will be using setinterval.
I would prefer not to use the accounts-* packages, but will if necessary. Just struggling with this for some reason. Can't figure out how to correctly generate the OAuth header.
Using OAuth1 to call YQL
var yqlURL = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql';
var config = {};
config.consumerKey = 'key';
config.secret = 'secret';
var parameters = {};
parameters.q = 'YQL Query';
parameters.format = 'json';
parameters.env = 'store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys';
// Create OAUTH1 headers to make request to YQL API
var oauthBinding = new OAuth1Binding(config, yqlURL);
var yqlResponse = oauthBinding.get(yqlURL, parameters);

I am pulling my hair out trying to query the CoinSpot API.
The endpoint for the Read Only API is: https://www.coinspot.com.au/api/ro
The documentation states:
All requests to the API will need to include the following security
data.
Headers: key - Your API key generated from the settings page sign -
The POST data is to be signed using your secret key according to
HMAC-SHA512 method. Post Params: nonce - Any integer value which must
always be greater than the previous requests nonce value.
I try to query the 'List My Balances' endpoint via: https://www.coinspot.com.au/api/ro/my/balances
However, the code I have formulated below always returns an error: "invalid/missing nonce".
I have tried so many different variations and approaches but it is always the same error.
require(httr)
key <- "68z...39k"
secret <- "71A...48i"
result <- POST("https://www.coinspot.com.au/api/ro/my/balances",
body = list('nonce'=as.integer(as.POSIXct(Sys.time()))), add_headers("key"=key,"sign"=openssl::sha512("https://www.coinspot.com.au/api/ro/my/balances",key = secret)))
content(result)
Any help much appreciated.
Ive struggled with this too- the coinspot API guide isn't very clear.
I figured out you are meant to encode the postdata in correct json format using sha512 and add that to the sign header. See example below querying account balances on v2 of the api.
require(httr)
api_key = "68z...39k"
api_secret = "71A...48i"
base_url = "https://www.coinspot.com.au/api/v2/ro"
request = "/my/balances"
nonce = as.character(as.integer(Sys.time()))
postdata = paste0('{"nonce":"',nonce,'"}') # important to get the quotes correct
api_sign = digest::hmac(api_secret, postdata, algo="sha512",raw=F)
result = POST(paste0(base_url, request),
body = list("nonce"=nonce),
add_headers(c("key"=api_key,
"sign"=api_sign)),
encode="json"
)
cat(rawToChar(result$content))
You would change what is in postdata based on what you are doing with the API- this is a simple example to build on. If you want to see what postdata should look like prior to encryption in sign, use cat(rawToChar(result$request$options$postfields)) after making a request.
For me, I was missing the JSON string encoded postdata in the body, including the nonce. As soon as I added that, it started working.
Heres my code in c# using Restsharp and Newtonsoft
//put the nonce at the beginning
JObject joBody = JObject.Parse(#"{'nonce': '" + DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeSeconds().ToString() + "'}");
joBody.Merge(originalBody);
var client = new RestClient(_coinspotSettings.BaseURL);
RestRequest request = new RestRequest(endpoint, Method.POST);
request.AddJsonBody(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(joBody));
request.AddHeader("key", coinspotAccount.APIKey);
request.AddHeader("sign", SignData(coinspotAccount, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(joBody))).ToLower());
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
private string SignData(CoinspotAccount coinspotAccount, byte[] JSONData)
{
var HMAC = new HMACSHA512(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(coinspotAccount.APISecret));
byte[] EncodedBytes = HMAC.ComputeHash(JSONData);
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i <= EncodedBytes.Length - 1; i++)
stringBuilder.Append(EncodedBytes[i].ToString("X2"));
return stringBuilder.ToString();
}
I would like to utilize oData without HTTP.
Scenario: "Load Balancer" oData-capable service receives requests from
clients, puts them into a queue (in serialized form), then "background" workers pick up
messages from the queue and process the request (get data from data
storage and provide response)
And it seems that such functionality either it is not exposed in MS oData libs, or it is so simple and obvious (though not for me) that nobody cares to highlight it in the docs.
I see it something like (pseudo-code)
var model = GetEdmModel();
var processor = GetProcessor(); // something like ODataController in AspNet.oData - contains functions and whatever
var request = GetRequestFromQueueAndParse();
var uriPath = request.Path; // like "/Books"
var queryString = request.QueryString; // like "$filter=price lt 50"
var method = request.Method; // GET or POST or ...
var body = request.Body;
// *** here is what I am looking for ***
var response = SomeMagicODataHelper.ProcessQuery(model, processor, method, uriPath, queryString, body);
ProvideResponseBackToBalancer(response);
Is there something alike provided by (preferable) standard MS oData library, or as a third-party library?
I m new to Simple.Odata.client. I had a problem to access the Odata Service with below code. The below code return null. but Postman return with result.
suspected Problem : How to pass a url string with '1000' &format=json
Is the below Simple odata client setup correctly?
There is no UrlBase in Simple Odata client, but there is BAseUri
Is this ODataClientSettings working??
var settings = new Simple.OData.Client.ODataClientSettings();
settings.BaseUri = new Uri("https://..../UoM?$filter=wer eg '1000' &format=json");
settings.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user1", "usrpwd");
var client = new ODataClient(settings);
please help
Thanks
This worked for me
var credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password); //you can use the override with the domain too.
var settings = new ODataClientSettings(baseUrl, credentials) //baseUrl is a string.
{
IgnoreResourceNotFoundException = true,
OnTrace = (x, y) => Debug.WriteLine(x, y),
PayloadFormat = ODataPayloadFormat.Json, //here is where you specify the format
IgnoreUnmappedProperties = true,
RenewHttpConnection = true,
TraceFilter = ODataTrace.All,
PreferredUpdateMethod = ODataUpdateMethod.Merge
};
var client = new ODataClient(settings);
Your baseUrl should not contain all those OData tags but the endpoint of your service like https://myservice.mysite.com/api.svc. Then as you use the Simple.OData.Client the resource url will be automatically completed.
Please, take a look at the OData standard to figure out how it works and see the Simple.OData.Client repo's examples to better understand how to use it.
To better understand how to use the Windows Authentication you can check Authentication and Authorization with Windows Accounts and how to access website with Windows credential
Hope this help.
I want to make an API call where the response is in XML format.
This is the API description: http://www.dictionaryapi.com/products/api-collegiate-dictionary.htm
I have registered and I have a key to use in the request URL.
Could anyone give me an idea of how to make the call and analyse the response?
Thankyou.
Something along the lines of:
var request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.dictionaryapi.com/api/v1/references/collegiate/xml/hypocrite?key=1234");
var response = request.GetResponse();
var xdoc = XDocument.Load(response.GetResponseStream());
Then you can grab what you need like:
xdoc.Element("ElementName");
I'm a bit of a flex noob, but I couldn't find this question asked anywhere, or a proper workaround. I'm quite used to GET/POST and web interactions, but I'm new to working in mxml's and such. See function below.
private function uploadFileSelect(event:Event):void
{
var uploadURL:String = Application.application.parameters.UploadURL;
var urlStr:String = ExternalInterface.call('window.location.href.toString');
var queryMap:Object = getQueryParams(urlStr);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(uploadURL);
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVars.appid = queryMap.appid;
urlVars.str = queryMap.str;
request.method = "POST";
request.data = urlVars;
uploadFileRef.upload(request);
}
Essentially, this works perfectly for what I need, with one exception. The final call to .upload is asynchronous, so I stay on the current page, but it calls the upload URL in the background. I want it to act like a form and actually navigate TO the upload URL with the POST data. I feel like this should be a simple solution, but I was kind of thrown the task of working on someone else's flash code and need a little advice.
Thanks in advance!
Because it is asynchronous, you cannot achieve redirect from the UI like you do in Html form. As a work around you can add listeners to the uploadFileRef
uploadURL = "someurl";
uploadFileRef.addEventListener(Event.complete, function(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(uploadURL),'_self')
});
navigate url will tke you to the target url. I do not know how you will get the uploadURL, i'm assuming it is the url at which you have uploaded the file to.
