node.js / axios AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE with PayPal Subscriptions API - paypal

I'm using Axios to activate a PayPal subscription since the NODE SDK doesn't support the subscription activation. For doing so I've created this method that generate a PayPal access token:
let getAccessToken = async () => {
return await axios(options).then((response) => {
return response.data.access_token
});
}
the options contains the following details:
const options = {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true
},
data: qs.stringify(data),
auth: {
username: PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID,
password: PAYPAL_CLIENT_SECRET
},
url: 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token'
}
this working fine but I'm having some problems activating the subscription, this is the method that handle this:
let activateSubscription = async (accessToken, subscriptionId) => {
return await axios.post(
`${baseURL}/v1/billing/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/activate`,
{
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"Content-Type": 'application/json'
}
}).then((data) => {
return true;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error.response.data);
return false;
});
}
Essentially I pass the generated accessToken and the subscriptionId, but I get as response this:
{
name: 'AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE',
message: 'Authentication failed due to invalid authentication credentials or a missing Authorization header.',
links: [
{
href: 'https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/#error',
rel: 'information_link'
}
]
}
My suspicion was that the generated token was incorrect, so I tried it in postman sending this request:
{{host}}/v1/billing/subscriptions/I-7D10FGKVNMD0/activate
and the returned content is 204 which is okay according to what doc says here.
The request seems correct, what am I doing wrong?

You're setting the headers wrong. From the pastebin:
data: '{"headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer A21AAEj_0lJjny7Hc1aL7l5irIxOqOjyW_pSfT2WC9APAQFXHTYzKL0womW1mZvS6mKWsWMytMc6H6NIMPMnOK7zhzHKHsSAw","Content-Type":"application/json"}}',
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json, text/plain, */*',
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8',
'User-Agent': 'axios/0.19.2',
'Content-Length': 170
},
So, PayPal isn't actually getting your Authorization header

Messed data object in response with Axios

I'm making a request for getting an access_token to an auth0 API.
The request is success, but the data object containing the access token contains weird characters. The thing is that I had that object for 3-4 hours, after that it wasn't retrieved anymore. Any clues on this?
And this is the code:
(async () => {
const client = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://my_url_to.auth0.com/oauth/token',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
});
Log.debug(body);
try {
const resp = await client.post('/', body);
console.log(JSON.stringify(resp.data));
} catch (e) {
Log.error(e);
}
})();
In v1.2.1 fixed this error.
You need to add Accept-Encoding with 'application/json' in axios header.
The default of axios is gzip.
This code will be works
(async () => {
const client = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://my_url_to.auth0.com/oauth/token',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept-Encoding': 'application/json'
}
});
Log.debug(body);
try {
const resp = await client.post('/', body);
console.log(JSON.stringify(resp.data));
} catch (e) {
Log.error(e);
}
})();

Connecting to WhatsApp API using axios.post using TypeScript

I just started using the WhatsApp Cloud API.
I took the example that was provided on glitch as a reference but there are things that are different since I'm taking the serverless approach.
As seen in glitch's example, it used axios(config) method and I tried it out and it worked fine after minor changes but when I tried axios.post() method I keep on getting the following error:
AxiosError: Request failed with status code 400
The axios(config) method (Which works)
await axios({
method: "POST", // Required, HTTP method, a string, e.g. POST, GET
url:"https://graph.facebook.com/{{Version}}/{{Phone-Number-ID}}/messages?access_token={{Token}}",
data: {
messaging_product: "whatsapp",
recipient_type: "individual",
to: {{Recipient-Phone-Number}},
text: {body: "Welcome back"},
},
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
});
The axios.post() method (Which doesn't works)
let url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{{Version}}/{{Phone-Number-ID}}/messages"
let payload = {
messaging_product: "whatsapp",
recipient_type: "individual",
to: {{Recipient-Phone-Number}},
text: {body: "Welcome back my friend"},
}
let headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization":"Bearer {{token}}"
}
let params = {}
try
{
const resp = await axios.post(url, {payload}, {headers, params});
log("POST RESP",resp)
}
catch(error)
{
throw error;
}
Try below code.
let url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/<Version>/<Your Phone number ID>/messages';
let payload = {
'messaging_product': 'whatsapp',
'recipient_type': 'individual',
'to': '123456789012',//Recipient Phone Number
'type': 'text',
'text': {
'body': 'Welcome back my friend'
}
};
let headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer <Your Temporary access token>',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
axios.post(url, payload, {
headers: headers
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});

How do I add body for PayPal partial refund to Axios?

I'm trying to post a partial refund to PayPal using Axios. If I use an empty object as the body I can complete a full refund. But I don't know how to add a body that will complete a partial refund. Here is my current code:
const axios = require('axios');
const qs = require('qs');
const refund = await axios.post("https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/capture/"
+ "myTransactionID" + "/refund",
qs.stringify({data:{amount:{currency_code:'USD',value:'20.00'}}}), //this works if I just use {};
{
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
"Authorization": `Bearer ${ "myPayPalAccessToken" }`
},
});
console.log("refund: " + JSON.stringify(refund));
I get a "Request failed with status code 400" when I do this. I'm not sure if using a data object is necessary. Please help me figure out the syntax.
I figured it out. I should have been using application/json for the Content-Type. There was no need to stringify the body:
const axios = require('axios');
const qs = require('qs');
const PAYPAL_OAUTH_API = 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token/';
const PAYPAL_PAYMENTS_API = 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/payments/captures/';
const PayPalAuthorization = await axios({
method: 'POST',
url: PAYPAL_OAUTH_API,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true
},
data: qs.stringify({
grant_type: 'client_credentials'
}),
auth: {
username: PAYPAL_CLIENT,
password: PAYPAL_SECRET
}
});
const PayPalToken = PayPalAuthorization.data.access_token;
const refund = await axios({
url: PAYPAL_PAYMENTS_API + "myTransactionID" + '/refund',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${ PayPalToken }`
},
data: {
amount: {
value: "10.99",
currency_code: "USD"
},
invoice_id: "INVOICE-123",
note_to_payer: "Defective product"
}
});
If you are posting an invoice_id don't forget to change the number for subsequent refunds.

Fetch Status Code from restful webservice

I am not able to just fetch the status code from a restful webservice. The web service is just responding with 201 or 401. I am pretty new to react native and I just stuck for hours now.
I am calling the this function in another component. The response I am receiving is always LOG {"_40": 0, "_55": null, "_65": 0, "_72": null}
export default class forgotPasswordCall extends Component {
_forgotPassword = async (username, email) => {
let bodyData = {
'username': username,
'email': email,
}
try {
const response = await fetch('webserviceURL', {
method: "POST",
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Accept: 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(bodyData)
})
return response.status;
}
catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
}
I would need to receive the status code itself.
I would highly recommend using axios instead of fetch. You should try it !
