I'm trying to access a REST API in Racket, and I need to use Kerberos authentication (similar to requests-kerberos in Python).
Is there a way to do this? I'm using the http-easy package but can switch to something else if needed.
If you are looking to use a JSON RESET API in Racket, I would refer to:
https://medium.com/chris-opperwall/practical-racket-using-a-json-rest-api-3d85eb11cc2d
This article explains how to do simple HTTP GETs to a JSON REST API, and then parse the JSON response into a form that you can traverse and manipulate in Racket.

My org is trying to use JMeter as part of a test automation suite to test some back end REST APIs. Currently one of them supports using JSON queries as a way to get filtered results back from a GET request.
We are using the JMeter UI to create these tests and since all the other API calls work under the HttpClient3.1 HTTP Request implementation that is the implementation that I am currently using to get this to work. With this implementation I get the following when looking at the failure in the results tree (response data portion) I have made the error slightly more generic to protect some IP:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri 'https://server:port/restservice/v1/users?firstname_query={"in":["User1FirstName","User2FirstName"]}': Invalid query

I have also tried the same request using the Java implementation and get a similar result.
If anyone has any ideas or if you need more information let me know and thank you again in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
Your HTTP Request configuration is a little bit incorrect. JSON entities contain braces {} which are not allowed in URLs so you need to encode them.
Configure your HTTP Request sampler like:
Make sure "Encode" box is ticked.
And this way you will be able to send JSON with HTTP GET Requests. You can use View Results Tree listener to inspect request and response details:
You might also need to add HTTP Header Manager to your Test Plan and configure it to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json. See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter article for more details on properly configuring JMeter for testing REST APIs.
I'm trying to use the QBO v3 API object update function described here. The API explorer shows a different uri.
I'm trying to update an account with Id 42. Both of the following URIs get me a 401:
As the documentation would suggest:
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/0123456789/account?requestid=42
(the above at least gives me a json blob with the 401)
As the api explorer would suggest:
https://qb.sbfinance.intuit.com/v3/company/0123456789/account?operation=update
(here I don't even get the json, just a plain 401)
My request body is successful when I use the api explorer, so I don't believe that's the problem. I also don't believe authentication is the problem, because I can successfully create objects and also make queries with the same headers.
What might I be missing?
Don't put the Account object's ID into the URL. The [?requestid=] from the documentation you mentioned apparently refers to an id related to the request (not the object in question). The API Explorer's URI appears to simply mislead (although I could certainly be missing something here).
In your example, just use this:
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/0123456789/account
Let the headers and request body do the rest.
Correct BASE URI: https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/
you can refer example request/response section of any entity doc.
Ref -https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/030_entity_services_reference/bill
To debug(401 authentication issue), you can use any standard RestClient.
In the following thread, I've explained how to use RestClinet plugin of Mozilla to test any QBO V3 endpoint.
InvalidTokenException: Unauthorized-401
You can download IPP's devkit and using that devkit you can call any endpoints easily.

Hope it will be useful.
Thanks
Hi,
I am a newbie to Backbone, My Rest Server Components Accept Only XML Requests, can Anybody show an example how do i send a xml to a rest api put request.
Backbone uses JSON by default, so to use XML you need to overwrite Backbone.sync. Take a look at this answer: How to override Backbone.sync?
I'm trying out chrome-extension advanced rest client app, but when I send something like:
http://myDom:34234/my/path/method?param=["{a-guid}"]
the actual parameter arrives on the server as "[\"{a-guid}\"]" how do I get it to send the array as an array rather than a string?
Proper URL for this request should looks like:
http://myDom:34234/my/path/method?param=%5B%22%7Ba-guid%7D%22%5D
All URLs must be encoded.
In the app you can expand URL panel and under "Query parameters" section encode values to proper form.
it depends on your server implementation (e.g. php, c#, rails, javascript, python, etc).
all headers arrive on the server as a string. it's up to the application to parse that string into a native object (e.g. an array) in that language.
in the php world, here's the code we use:
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $args);
update:
based on your comment below i suggest you use new JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize(jsonString)
You need System.Web.Extensions dll for the same and import the following namespace.
Namespace: System.Web.Script.Serialization

Was after some help on getting started with calling the Rally REST webservice from a .NET MVC webclient.
I've been given the web service info here:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/doc/webservice/
So I can see that I can use a URL to access information from Rally - Similar to:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.39/task?query=((Owner.Name
= owner#blah.com.au) and (State != Completed))&order=Rank&fetch=true&stylesheet=/slm/doc/webservice/browser.xsl
However what I'm not clear on is how to authenticate before making my request?
I'm new to REST web services (have done the SOAP/WSDL awhile back) - so it doesn't seem like with REST you're supposed to add a reference to something to get client classes created? Is this correct? That you just create a HTTPRequest using a URI - and make the call, getting back a HTTPResponse (which I can hopefully do something with).
A lot of examples seem to have specific service/api classes that they're calling methods on or accessing properties - so I'm not sure if that's because they're using SOAP rather than REST - or that they created them themselves.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong documentation as it seems assumed you know how to be authenticated. Or I'm missing a reference?
I know the question is old, but this might help someone else. You need to pass a Basic Authentication header with your base64-encoded username and password as part of your get() request. I found this information on an Atlassian documentation page and successfully applied it with Rally API 3.0 (should also work with 2.0). So in your get() request, include a header similar to the following:
auth_header = 'Authorization : Basic ' + base64_encode('username:password')
