How can I put header parameter in a Url? - rest

I want to get data from API. So first I want to get Json response from the browser. I Usually do it by specifying a query to pass the API key. But this time the API key is passed using header parameter instead of a query. How can I pass the API into a header parameter?
This is the base Url
"https://api-nba-v1.p.rapidapi.com"
This is the header parameter:
x-rapidapi-key

You can try to issue this request first using some rest client like postman or insomnia.

AWS Api Gateway Setting the header value to a default value using http Integration

I am using AWS API Gateway and I want to set my Integration type to http. I have the integrated url as https:// xxxxxx.com which takes a header "apikey". I am not expecting the end user to pass the header rather I want to set the apikey to some constant value.
I see that there is a way to force the user to make him pass the header(by making header required under the Method Request section. However, I want to set it to default.
For example in all the requests which are internally calling the URL inside the API gateway should pass the header value as "12345".
You can add/remove/override headers with an Integration Request Mapping Template.
In the API Gateway console, chose the relevant api/resourece/method. Go to Integration Request > Mapping Templates and chose your Content-Type (if requests are going to be received without a Content-Type header, set the Content-Type for the mapping template to application/json, which is the default behaviour).
Then in the actual mapping template add the following:
{
#set($context.requestOverride.header.apikey= "testMe")
}
This will add (or overwrite if it already exists) a header called apikey with the value "testMe" to all http requests downstream.
If you take this route, then you will need to also map over any other headers, path parameters, query parameters or body that you wish to pass through.
You could loop through the headers and query parameters like this.
## First set the header you are adding
#set($context.requestOverride.header.apikey= "testMe")
## Loop through all incoming headers and set them for downstream request
#foreach($param in $input.params().header.keySet())
#set($context.requestOverride.header[$param]= $input.params().header.get($param))
#if($foreach.hasNext) #end
#end
## Loop through all incoming query parameters and set them for downstream request
#foreach($param in $input.params().querystring.keySet())
#set($context.requestOverride.querystring[$param]= $input.params().querystring.get($param))
#if($foreach.hasNext) #end
#end
As you need to ensure that the header apikey is set to a default value, you should set the override for apikey before looping through the rest of the headers as only the first override will take effect.
The relevant AWS documentation can be found here.
The other alternative would be to point your API Gateway at a Lambda and make the call from the Lambda instead.
Firstly thanks to #KMO for his help. The following is the solution:-
Enable Http Proxy Integration.
Add the headers apikey=xxxx and Accept-Encoding=identity under the same Integration
Request -> Http Headers.
Under Settings -> Binary Media Types set the following as separate Binary Media Types
'*', */*. I mean as two different lines.This step is needed to resolve the Gzip action while returning the response.
Add the Query parameter country in the URL Query String Parameters section.
In the Integration Request map the country parameter to ctry by adding the value under mapped from as method.request.querystring.country. This will ensure that the query parameter country you passed in the main URL will be fed to the downstream url as parameter ctry.
The advantage of this apporoach is that, even if you override the header apikey, the one set under the Http Headers will take the precedence.

Jmeter parameter without name in REST method

Hello i have GET method that URL example is:
http://localhost:8050/programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
Where the last String is just programId that I set as parameter in HTTP Request.
JMeter is kinda confused and the respond in raw request is:
GET http://localhost:8050/
GET data:
b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
but there's just 404 in response data.
I can just delete parameter and write /programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18 in path instead of /programs/ and everything works perfectly fine. IMO it's awful way. I'd prefer do it with parameter.
Write in path the parameter as /programs/${programId}.
This is part of the path and not parameter, parameters in GET request are different than POST see http methods
path/mypage?param1=value1&param2=value2

How we can pass parameter in form of query string and access response in JSON in Servicestack

Below is service URL which return output in form of JSON.
http://localhost:8000/ByDept/ExmapleService?format=json
But I want to pass querystring parameter with this URL. Below is Service URL.
http://localhost:8000/ByDept/ExmapleService?abc=hello&format=json
here abc=hello is parameter which is pass through query string.
But using this url i am able to receive output in form of JSON.
So how we can pass parameter in form of query string and access response in json.?
The Content Negotiation section in the Routing docs shows different ways you can specify the response format, e.g:
/rockstars?format=json
/rockstars.json
In addition you can also specify a JSON response with the Accept Request Header, e.g:
Accept: application/json
Both of the above accept extra query params without changing the Response Type:
/rockstars?id=1&format=json
/rockstars.json?id=1
So I don't really understand what the question is.

Get form parameters from a post request using spray/scala

I'm really new with all this Scala/Spray. With some testing I was able to get parameters from a Get request using the parameters function. However I'm trying to fetch some parameters sent from a POST request on the body of the request. It seems like parameters function is unable to fetch those values.
As an example, I'm trying to get this values "name=john&lastname=smith" from the post request body. What is the best option to get these values?
Thank you
You could use [Form-Field-Filters] to extract parameters from POSTs
[Form-Field-Filters] https://github.com/spray/spray/wiki/Form-Field-Filters
Indeed, the parameters directive only handles things actually in the query-string and not parameters in the body of the request. To get things out of the body, you'll need to use the content directive and then unmarshal the content.
This spray-user thread may be helpful, as it includes some unmarshalling code doing precisely what you're looking for.
As of recent Spray versions, you need to use the Unmarshaller for FormData.
