I am experiencing a strange problem on using SendGrid APIs.
Basically, there are certain API calls that I can perform, and some other returns a 403 error.
I can send single emails :
$email = new \SendGrid\Mail\Mail();
$email->setFrom("myfrom#myurl.net", "NAMEFROM");
$email->setSubject("Sending with SendGrid is Fun");
$email->addTo("myfrom#myurl.net", "NAMEFROM");
$email->addContent("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP");
$email->addContent(
"text/html", "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP</strong>"
);
$sendgrid = new \SendGrid(getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY'));
try {
$response = $sendgrid->send($email);
print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
print_r($response->headers());
print $response->body() . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}
But I am not able to send massive emails as campaigns:
$request_body = json_decode('{
"id": <DATA HIDDEN>,
"title": "May Newsletter",
"subject": "New Products for Summer!",
"sender_id": <DATA HIDDEN>,
"list_ids": [
"<DATA HIDDEN>"
],
"html_content": "<html><head><title></title></head><body><p>Check out our summer line!</p></body></html>",
"plain_content": "Check out our summer line!",
}');
$sg = new SendGrid(config('services.extra.SENDGRID_API_KEY'));
$response = $sg->client->campaigns()->post($request_body);
This call returns 403, "message":"access forbidden". Without any other indication.
Even the API Calls that follow :
https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/senders/<data hidden>
https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/senders
return 403.
I have a free plan and a verified email address (the "from address").
All the tokens I have generated have the "full" permission set.
I haven't read anything about the accessibility of an API regarding the price plan (free/paid) in the docs, but still, I wonder if anybody knows anything.
Any help is appreciated.
When i create the API key, it creates it with quite restricted permissions. You then need to go and enable the permissions on the key. I was getting 403 errors consistently, and when I finally added the permissions for the part of the API I was using, they started working.
The Email API and Marketing Campaigns are two different products (see the two different tabs on the pricing page). You can use both within one account, you just need to activate both products. I think you need to go to your account settings and activate the Marketing Campaigns product and then your API requests will succeed.

Of the three files here- https://github.com/paypal/ipn-code-samples/tree/master/php
I have my Webhook URL set to the stock github version of- PaypalIPN.php (this validates successfully 100% of the time, if I use example_usage.php... Doesn't work. If I use both as Webhooks... Doesn't work).
From the Paypal button side of things I'm able to post my website's active user (call him $MrUser) with this:
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
"custom_id":"<?php echo $MrUser; ?>",
"description":"One hundred Webdollars",
"amount":
{
"currency_code":"USD",
"value":1.99
}
}]
});
},
Here's the SQL I need to run upon successful validation (I change $MrUser to $kitty for clarity's sake):
require 'sqlconfig.php';
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db;charset=UTF8";
try {
$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$hashedIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$kitty = $_POST['custom']; // Not sure this is working yet, but this should give me $mrUser;
$sql = "INSERT INTO `Insert_upon_Paypal_success` (`date`,`hashedIP`,`username`,`webdollarAMT`) VALUES (now(),:hashedIP,:kitty,'100')";
$statement = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$statement->bindValue(':hashedIP', $hashedIP);
$statement->bindValue(':kitty', $kitty);
$inserted = $statement->execute();
I'm popping this into the PaypalIPN.php file upon validation, but, it doesn't work. Here's how I have it in there:
// Check if PayPal verifies the IPN data, and if so, return true.
if ($res == self::VALID) {
return true;
// i.e. putting all of the SQL above right here.
} else {
return false;
}
I'm guessing I need to put the SQL in a specific place that I'm missing, as per the layout of the PaypalIPN.php file... Please help!!
There is no reason to use IPN with current PayPal Checkout integrations. It is very old technology (20+ years) and should be deprecated soon.
Webhooks are a successor to IPN. However, even they are unnecessary for normal payment processing -- better used only if you need automated notifications of post-checkout exceptions such as refunds or disputes.
For normal PayPal payments, do not use either.
Instead, use the v2/checkout/orders API and make two routes (url paths) on your server, one for 'Create Order' and one for 'Capture Order'. You could use the (recently deprecated) Checkout-PHP-SDK for the routes' API calls to PayPal, or your own HTTPS implementation of first getting an access token and then doing the call with PHP's curl or similar. Both of these routes should return/output only JSON data (no HTML or text). Inside the 2nd route, when the capture API is successful you should verify the amount was correct and store its resulting payment details in your database (particularly purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id, which is the PayPal transaction ID) and perform any necessary business logic (such as reserving product or sending an email) immediately before forwarding return JSON to the frontend caller. In the event of an error forward the JSON details of it as well, since the frontend must handle such cases.
Pair those 2 routes with this frontend approval flow: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server . (If you need to send any additional data from the client to the server, such as an items array or selected options, add a body parameter to the fetch with a value that is a JSON string or object)
I am trying to read a spreadsheet using a service account (I cannot use OAuth, which works, since the process will be running on a server to periodically check sheet data)
I tried several approaches. If I follow the example using oauth I can see the sheet values. However, I need the run the script without any GUI on the background.
I have found this tutorial https://github.com/juampynr/google-spreadsheet-reader
I have created a projec, service account, added viewer role, shared the spreadsheet with the service account email. Generated the key.
It seems that the test program can connect to the google services but the moment it request the spreadsheet the end result is "404 not found".
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$service_account_file = '/secrets/readsheetmar2019-08b737d1c1cb._portfolio_test.json';
$spreadsheet_id = '1TAWybckPrnWlQxBZh0ScDsFOvftwi2dvTBNGarSdY30';
$spreadsheet_range = '';
putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=' . $service_account_file);
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Sheets::SPREADSHEETS_READONLY);
$client->fetchAccessTokenWithAssertion();
$service = new Google_Service_Sheets($client);
//added by me
if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
print "expired\n";
}else{
print "not expired\n";
}
$result = $service->spreadsheets_values->get($spreadsheet_id, $spreadsheet_range);
var_dump($result->getValues());
Error:PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Service_Exception' with message '
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
When the access token retrieved by OAuth2 is used, the Spreadsheet of $spreadsheet_id = '1TAWybckPrnWlQxBZh0ScDsFOvftwi2dvTBNGarSdY30'; can retrieve the values.
When the access token retrieved by Service Account is used, Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 is returned.
If my understanding is correct, please confirm the following points.
Confirmation points:
As a test run, please set the range $spreadsheet_range = '';.
For example, it's $spreadsheet_range = 'Sheet1'.
If the error message of The caller does not have permission is returned, please confirm as follows.
Whether the Spreadsheet of 1TAWybckPrnWlQxBZh0ScDsFOvftwi2dvTBNGarSdY30 is sharing the email of Service Account.
If you didn't share the Service Account to the Spreadsheet, please share the email of client_email in the file of readsheetmar2019-08b737d1c1cb._portfolio_test.json to the Spreadsheet you want to access.
If the error message of Google Sheets API has not been used in project ### before or it is disabled. is returned, please enable Sheets API.
If this was not the solution for your issue, I apologize.
I have developed an API that requires JWT access tokens which contain a user's claims and must be submitted as the Authorization header to get any data. It works perfectly well when making requests via Postman or through a .NET HTTP Client and it is pretty standard implementation.
Our business would now like to connect to the data through our APIs using Power BI. We don't have much experience with it but I understand the fundamentals. Have wateched some PluralSight videos etc to familiarize myself. What I'm really having problems with is actually getting the token for use in the queries.
I've googled around and found https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Pull-data-from-RESTful-API-with-token-authentication/td-p/80531 the last answer of which seems to be what I'm looking for.
I have this query:
let
GetJson = Web.Contents("https://mydomain.co.uk/api/token",
[
Headers = [#"Accept"="application/json",
#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
Content = Text.ToBinary("grant_type=password&username=me&password=My_Pass11")
]
),
FormatAsJson = Json.Document(GetJson),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(FormatAsJson),
#"Expanded Value" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Value", {"Data"}, {"Data"}),
#"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Value", "Data", {"access_token", "expires_in", "culture", "resourceList", "roles", "applicationId", "userCurrency", "userDateFormat", "userProductWeight", "roleNames"}, {"access_token", "expires_in", "culture", "resourceList", "roles", "applicationId", "userCurrency", "userDateFormat", "userProductWeight", "roleNames"}),
access_token = #"Expanded Data"{0}[access_token]
in
access_token
Makes sense to why that would work, but when I close the query editor, Power BI tries to connect and shows the error "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again."
If I click the Edit Credentials button, I go to web query settings for the request, which isn't really going to help as it's a HTTP Post without Auth (so is set to Anonymous). Any thoughts to how to sort this out?
Changing the query to this (using Username and Password parameters now):
let
GetJson = Web.Contents("https://mydomain.co.uk/api/token",
[
Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
Content = Text.ToBinary("grant_type=password&username=" &Username&"&password="&Password&"&clienttype=User")
]
),
FormatAsJson = Json.Document(GetJson),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(FormatAsJson),
access_token = #"Converted to Table"{0}[Value]
in
access_token
Problem now solved. Now I just need to work out how to use access_token in another query...
I have two apps on facebook. In one, I can make API calls. In the other, I can not.
I checked the configuration and the settings are the same.
Can you help me?
Example: https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206/?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206/notifications?template=#[860599774051206]test&access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET&method=post
the error is:
{ "error": { "message": "Unsupported post request. Object with ID
'860599774051206' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing
permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph
API documentation at developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException", "code": 100, "fbtrace_id":
"BRW7BqFeEER" } }
RESOLVED:
Any app can change the user_id
In an app the user_id is 962084030569446, in the other 860599774051206
Thakns for all.
I faced this issue when I was trying to post a response to an user from a page. I used the graph API me/accounts and got the list of pages. From there I retrieved the access_token of the page from which I'm going to post the response. I got the same error mentioned in the question.
The issue for me is the user account to which I was supposed to respond is locked due to security. This is the error I got from facebook when I tried to login
You can't use Facebook at the moment
This is the error I got for the post api call
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported post request. Object with ID 'xxx' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"error_subcode": 33,
"fbtrace_id": "yyy"
}
}
Once the account security is resolved, the issue is resolved.
While unrelated to the OP problem I thought I would contribute, I got this error when posting to the Offline Events endpoint https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/<business_id>/events. I had posted from a node.js app successfully, then when porting the approach to a .Net implementation in our Linnworks order management system, got this error.
Turned out, I had mis-typed the access_token parameter that goes in the form data, i.e.
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection formFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
formFields.Add("accessToken", accessToken);
formFields.Add("upload_tag", "store_data");
formFields.Add("data", data);
Should have been:
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection formFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
formFields.Add("access_token", accessToken);
formFields.Add("upload_tag", "store_data");
formFields.Add("data", data);
Getting the access_token field wrong in this way caused this 'Object with ID does not exist' which is a bit of a red herring. I guess that, once the access_token value was not provided, no objects could be enumerated in our account because the request didn't authenticate in order to provide permissions, and so the object was 'not found'
(you do not have to use NameValueCollection, this is just a by-product of me using the multipart post implementation suggested here Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data))
In my case - I had to use the app-id to get the list of pages using me/accounts.
Once I identify the page that I want to post the message to, I have to use the page-id to feed page-id/feed.
This solved the issue.
For example:
$response = $fb->get('/me/accounts', (string)$selBehRow1["fb_app_access_token"]);
foreach ($response->getDecodedBody() as $allPages)
{
foreach ($allPages as $page )
{
if (isset($page['id']) && $page['id'] == $selBehRow1['fb_page_id'])
{ // Suppose you save it as this variable
$appAccessToken = (string) $page['access_token'];
break;
}
}
}
$response = $fb->post(
//this is wrong: '/'.$selBehRow1["fb_app_id"].'/feed',
'/'.$selBehRow1["fb_page_id"].'/feed',
array(
"message" => "$msg",
"link" => "$link",
//"picture" => "http://www.example.net/images/example.png",
"name" => "$name",
"caption" => "$caption",
"description" => "$description"
),
$appAccessToken
);
}
i think post_id is wrong you can check it once
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206_4548643168486465/?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v3.3/object/comments
use this api for replies to the post
Method: POST
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206_4548643168486465/comments?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
body:
{
"message": "Thanks"
}
You need to use GET request instead POST. Look at the documentation
In my case I needed to Complete Setup
I am currently testing credit card payments using the PayPal payments pro Rest API.
I keep getting the following error:
Exception in HttpConnection Execute: Invalid HTTP response The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. --->
I created and activated my PayPal test account and as following:
Credit card
Credit card number:
ccnumber here
Credit card type:
Visa
Expiration date:
3/2019
When I enter the above information in my payment form and submit I keep getting the 400 bad request error.
I have gotton this to work before with the PayPAl joe shopper account but lost the test cc number.
I am 100% sure I have authenticated with the oauth2 credentials
What is the likely cause of this error?:
I am entering a random payer first name and last name .
Does the name have to exsist?
What could be causing the error
If anything goes wrong in the data given, paypal api will return a 400 - Bad request error.
When I got the error(PHP SDK), I caught the exception and $ex->getData() returned a json which contains the details about the bad request, in my case the currency code I given was wrong.
try {
$payment->create($apiContext);
} catch (PayPal\Exception\PPConnectionException $ex) {
var_dump(json_decode($ex->getData()));
exit(1);
}
Like others here have said, there are several things that can cause the (HTTP 400 - Bad Request).
In my case it was due to using the same invoice number. For temporary testing I just used the ShoppingCartID that I generated with a guid. You could also use a Random number generator as well. Ultimately you will need to generate an invoice number to the clients specifications.
-Good luck
I just had the same problem (HTTP 400 - Bad Request). The cause is a REST API request with "errors". In my case I had two causes:
I passed amount details to an Amount object but the sum of subtotal, shipping an tax was not equal to the amount total.
I passed amount currency values including a fracture, but passed not exactly two decimals but only one. Obviously the REST API is a bit touchy and accepts only either no or two decimals.
I passed an item_list in the Transaction object but the sum of the prices in the Item object was not equal to the subtotal given in the amount details.
I don't know a way of finding the actual cause of the error (if there is one).
In your case it could be the name of the payer that you add. Try without.
Edit:
I just tried out: It is indeed the payer info. I passed a payer_info with first and lastname and got HTTP 400 (without everything worked). I assume that payer_info must not be set by us but is set by PayPal when returning a Payment object.
Payer payer = new Payer { payment_method = "paypal", payer_info = new PayerInfo {
first_name = "Zaphod", last_name = "Beeblebrox"} }; // => HTTP 400 - Bad Request
firstly find out what exactly what Your error is
payment = PayPal::SDK::REST::DataTypes::Payment.new(...)
payment.create
# got Response[400]: Bad Request here
payment.error
# got {"name"=>"VALIDATION_ERROR", "details"=>[{"field"=>"transactions", "issue"=>"
then find out what Your issue here to get more info
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#validation-issues
I had the same issue. In my case it was Credit Card issue which might be over used. So I have taken new Credit card Number from this site Testing Credit card and replaced with the old one.
Here is Credit Card Information that I used
credit_card = new CreditCard()
{
billing_address = new Address()
{
city = "Johnstown",
country_code = "US",
line1 = "52 N Main ST",
postal_code = "43210",
state = "OH"
},
cvv2 = "874",
expire_month = 11,
expire_year = 2018,
first_name = "Joe",
last_name = "Shopper",
number = "4024007185826731", //New Credit card Number, Only Card type should match other details does not matter
type = "visa"
}
Note: All the Credit Card mentioned in PayPal site are not working, giving same issue for me. If it working for you then it's good otherwise use new testing Credit Card Number. Hope this will help someone.
Thank you! Enjoy Coding!
I too got struck with this issue, there might be many other possible root cause for this failure but then in my case all my passing argument is correct, but then it failed in sandbox environment, I just changed Payment option from PayPal Balance to Visa then it started working.
I recently had a 400 bad request error as well. In my case, I was processing a refund using RefundRequest, and it appears that PayPal recently changed the constraints on the "reason" field (although it isn't documented that I can find) so my lengthy descriptions of what was being returned were no longer acceptable. I found the error only because I saw another field where PayPal was now requiring that it be only single-byte alphanumeric characters. What actually helped though, was shortening the data I was putting through as a reason to simply "Returned items".
Obviously this is an old thread, and I'm sure the original problem was solved long ago, but if using some of the above methods to determine more information about an error don't yield results I would suggest submitting a request with the bare minimum of information until you can get it to go through. Then, start adding additional fields/information back to see if you can identify which field contains the information causing the bad request. That would have worked for my issue, at least.
Understand your errors
PayPal returns detailed data on every exception (except 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR), explaining what was the exact error you are seeing. You can retrieve that as follows:
Update your exception handling to catch PayPalConnectionException and print $ex->getData() as shown below:
try {
$payment->create($apiContext);
} catch (PayPal\Exception\PayPalConnectionException $ex) {
echo $ex->getCode(); // Prints the Error Code
echo $ex->getData(); // Prints the detailed error message
die($ex);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
die($ex);
}
It is due to the wrong currency or amount you have given.
I faced the issue in React JS
I was doing this. in the createOrder method.
purchase_units: [{
amount: {
currency_code: 'PHP',
value: totalAmount
}
}],
that was the issue. If i gave any currency other than USD i will get the 400 Error. So i removed the currency_code from here
And I moved the currency declaration into my component declaration.
like this.
options={{
clientId: " Your_ID " ,
currency: "PHP"
}}
Here you can give any currency you want. This solves my 400 Error
If you use Paypal Sandbox for testing Driver and on first try with buggy code it shows the client a 400 Bad request error.
Reason:- Paypal sent JWT auth and it was stored in the client's local storage.
Suggestion:- Try to clear the client's local storage cache (You only need to clear the Paypal Token).
This works for me, I hope it works for you :)
