REST-API users.list with the eppn - mongodb

Since we have some integrations with Rocket.Chat, we do use the API to create, query and subscribe User of a System to the Rocket.Chat.
We use the SAML authentication and we work with the eppn parameter.
Before it was easy to search for a user in rocket chat with the eppn, since you could query the eppn with the API users.list.
api/v1/users.list?query={"eppn":"eppn-of-user"}
After I upgraded the Rocket.Chat to the 3.9 Version, I saw that it is not possible to query the eppn with the users.list API.
The structure of User is changed and now the eppn parameter is a child of services.saml.
I can query the eppn in the MongoDB like this:
coll.find({'services.saml.eppn': "user-eepn"})
But no way to query the eppn with the API:
api/v1/users.list?query={'services.saml.eppn': "user-eppn"}
{
"success": false,
"error": "Invalid query parameter provided: \"{'services.saml.eppn': \"user-eppn\"}\" [error-invalid-query]",
"errorType": "error-invalid-query",
"details": {
"helperMethod": "parseJsonQuery"
}
}
Does anyone have an idea about it?
Thank you!

So everyone, I just got the solution to my problem, if any one will have the same problem.
First of all for the EJSON parse function the query must be written like this:
api/v1/users.list?query={"services.saml.eppn": "user-eppn"}
But the second problem is that Rocket.Chat doesn't allow a query on the services parameter.
It is a problem of permissions, so to query the services parameter and then the eppn parameter, there must be permission given to the User.

How to define id in POST request using Ravendb

Hello there
I'm having a trouble when I try to insert a document into a Ravendb Server which is running in my other computer. I can retrieve documents easily, but when I try to use REST API with POST request I get this error
"System.ArgumentException","Message":"Query string value 'id' must have a non empty value","Error":"System.ArgumentException: Query string value 'id' must have a non empty value
even though I have my Id defined like this:
{
"id":"adawd",
"name":"genereicname",
"password":"something"
}
Originally I'm making a flutter application but currently I'm just testing the API with Postman.
I messed around with id's (String, int) tried to leave it empty but no luck, does anyone know how to define Id for raven db to send me that sweet 200 response code...
According to the documentation you should use PUT to upload a new document or modify an existing one.
See: https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/5.2/csharp/client-api/rest-api/document-commands/put-documents

Retrieve keycloak group id for a specific group

I am trying to access a group id of a specific group from keycloak. What I found is like there is no REST Api call is available for access this one. You can refer here http://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/3.0/rest-api/index.html#_groups_resource. This shows that you can access all group details or specific group details only by using their Id's. Actually what I actually need is I want to access only the id of the specific group. Can anyone let me know how to do this?
You can write it like this:
GET http://localhost:your_port/auth/admin/realms/your_realm_name/groups?search=name_of_the_group
it will return {id, name, path, subGroups} to you..
My Postman Example
The documentation you're using is pretty old. Take a look at the documentation for the latest release:
https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/4.8/rest-api/#_groups_resource
You can provide a "search" parameter to look for groups by name.
Unfortunately, if you use the name of a subGroup, it returns the entire hierarchy starting from the top-level group, so the API for groups is still problematic.
One way is to enter keycloak admin panel. Then in the Groups option, select a group. Finally you will find the group id in the URL. Like /realms/Applications/groups/bc49dc6c-7c2a-40c4-bf60-fea8c2b1d562
You can get a list of all groups:
GET /admin/realms/{realm}/groups
The response will have group properties including id.
[
{
"id": "8ge163b3-6kc7-40ed-x069-3309eabbcbea",
"name": "group1",
"path": "/group1",
"subGroups": []
}
]
This might come a bit late, but anyway.
There is also the GET /{realm}/group-by-path/{path} endpoint which will return only the group that you desire since path is unique.
Also if someone needs (and since this isn't actually documented, or at least not as of the writing of this answer) if you want to call this endpoint from the admin-cli you can do it as follows:
./kcadm.sh get group-by-path/{path} --realm {realm}
ex.: ./kcadm.sh get group-by-path/parent_group/child_group/grand_child_group --realm realm1

REST GET URL Naming

What is the best way to design or name an API URL that would get a specific user with a given unique identifier? I'm using cognitoId as the unique identifier.
Which of the following should I use?
/profiles/profile, then pass the cognitoId as URL Query String Parameters
/profiles/{id}
/profiles/profile then check 'Invoke with caller credentials'
If it is an API where any authorized user can get anyone's username by passing a unique ID, then you could use something like this: /profiles/{id} For example, https://api.github.com/user/1
If it is an API that returns the username of the caller by using the cognito ID, then /profiles/profile should work. See $context.identity variables in documentation to fetch the cognito ID.

Tried accessing nonexisting field (fql) on node type (User)

FQL requests fail since wednesday. I have no clue why since FQL is supposed to be deprecated only at the end of April.
Basically, here is the type of requests that worked until wednesday :
https://graph.facebook.com/89240001803405/fql?access_token=<access_code>&q=select+is_published%2C+talking_about_count%2C+access_token%2C+description%2C+emails%2C+fan_count%2C+general_info%2C+location%2C+page_url%2C+pic_square%2C+username%2C+page_id%2Cname+from+page+WHERE+page_id+IN+%28SELECT+page_id+FROM+page_admin+where+uid+%3D+89240001803405%29
And here is the current response :
{
"error": {
"message": "(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (fql) on node type (User)",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100
}
}
Any idea how I can fix this before I migrate de non FQL ?
Thanks
The user id you have in there before the fql part is wrong, as far as I know. If that has worked before, then rather by accident, I guess.
FQL calls via API endpoint should be of the form https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=… – the identifier fql as first path segment, follow by parameters such as q for the query, the access token and what else might be appropriate.
Specifying the user id first doesn’t make sense, because what data you want to select you define inside the query itself.

How Can I filter Facebook Events Using Location by FQL

How Can I fitler Facebook Events Using Location By FQL
ex. I want to get all event which will be in Egypt
SELECT name FROM event
WHERE strpos(lower(name), 'Egypt') >= 0
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?fql=SELECT%20name%0AFROM%20event%20%0AWHERE%20strpos%28lower%28name%29%2C%20%27Egypt%27%29%20%3E%3D%200
But when I try to use the above Query it returns that for me:
Your statement is not indexable. The WHERE clause must contain an
indexable column. Such columns are marked with * in the tables linked
from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql
Note : I hope to get the public events filtered by event name contains.
With the changes that they have made, queries using an app access_token cannot
use the above query:
SELECT name,location FROM event WHERE contains('egypt')
The query works with session tokens (user access_tokens), however, with an app access_token
it just returns:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Must have a valid access_token to access this endpoint",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
It was surprising to me since I could still use any other query else than contains on the events table with an app access_token
UPDATE:
After looking at their documentations, I found out that you can only use the app access token for very limited set of queries:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/search/
What I finally did was I used the following to obtain a session access_token from my user as a page_manager
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id={MY_CLIENT_ID}&scope=manage_pages&redirect_uri={MY_REDIRECT_URI}&response_type=token
The above query returns your your access_token and you can use it to run your query successfully. What it basically does is that it appends your access_token to you as a hashed attributed
{MY_REDIRECT_URI}#access_token={MY_ACCESS_TOKEN}
If you would like to parse the access token on the server, this would not work for you, since the hashed attribute is not sent with the request to your server. What you can do is to append type=web_server to the above request to facebook. In that case the access_token will be returned as a request parameter named code
The closest you can get is to use the contains predicate
SELECT name,location FROM event WHERE contains('egypt')
Which will get you some events that contain "egypt" in the text
