Postman request showing IBM cloud down for maintenance - ibm-cloud

I am trying to send post request to create a toolchain on ibm cloud but getting this error mentioned in screenshot since last three days.
Why this error is coming up,am i doing something wrong?
Also i checked ibm none of the servers are down,cloud is normal
EDIT:So now i am able to create the toolchain,seems it was Authorization token error.
But now i am not Able to add a delivery pipeline through an api to an existing toolchain,is this functionality provided in IBM?

We are trying to understand your situation, but we have not been able to reproduce that Error 500 and "IBM Cloud console is down for maintenance" error you're seeing.
Could you try it again and let us know the datestamp&timezone of when you tried (so we can check our logs)?
Also can you give us the details of your default region, please?, as in if you open
https://cloud.ibm.com/devops/toolchains
does it redirect to:
https://cloud.ibm.com/devops/toolchains?env_id=ibm%3Ayp%3Aeu-de
or to some other non-(eu-de) region?
We did see this entry in the log files:
[2019-07-31T15:06:43.934] [ERROR] template-v2 - Failed to read template from repo https://github.com/open-toolchain/simple-toolchain, branch master, type null: Authorization header contains invalid or expired credentials.
but that occurs when using an invalid Authorization header token, and the response to the browser is not Error 500, but is Error 400 with:
"errorDetails\":\"Property 'access_token' either missing or empty \"
Also, when attempting to create the open-toolchain/simple-toolchain template, it doesn't work; it gives Error 400:
"description":"Failed Schema Validation at prod-region,prod-organization,prod-space,api-key for pipeline"
but creating a toolchain works ok using the repository:
https://github.com/open-toolchain/headless-toolchain

You can provision a toolchain with components such as a delivery pipeline using a GET request. The building blocks are described in the documentation for the IBM Cloud Continous Delivery service as part of creating a "Deploy" button.
There are some tutorials that use that deploy button to build more complex solutions, like the secure-file-storage, logistics-wizard-toolchain, or insurance-toolchain.
The GET request starts off a more complex flow because you need to log in, often provide values, etc. So I would recommend to try that request in a browser and not POSTMAN.

I am now able to create toolchain using POST request.
I was using wrong token for Authorization and got confused since no error message was shown instead "IBM cloud is under maintenance" popped up.

Error 403 "forbidden" being thrown on unity web application

Recently (within past week) our unity webgl (Unity v2019.4.16f1) application has been unable to read files using the google drive API. When I check the web console I see the following error:
UnityGoogleDrive: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Google Drive API Error Description: Code '403' Message: 'The request is missing a valid API key.'
Domain: 'global' Reason: 'forbidden' Message: 'The request is missing a valid API key.' LocationType: '' Location: ''
(Filename: ./Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)
The application has been in place for 4 months without issue until now.
We currently have an OAuth 2.0 client ID setup, but no API key as we haven't needed it before. The plugin we are using for google drive access in Unity (https://github.com/Elringus/UnityGoogleDrive) does not have any obvious settings for adding an API key in addition to the OAuth ID.
When running the application directly in Unity (which uses localhost) there are no errors and files can be accessed.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling the API in the cloud console. This has given mixed results. The initial request on the web application after re-enabling the Google Drive API succeeds without any errors. All subsequent requests fail with the same error.
Based on the missing values I thought the issue might be that we needed a valid billing plan assigned to the google project but that has not resolved the issue either.
I have tried generating an API key but I am not sure where I need to pass it in order to resolve the issue (if that is even the cause of the issue).
The error reported was a red herring. The real issue was that our request was not triggering authentication with Google. Our Unity dev environment had cached an authentication token which is why the dev environment functioned but the production app failed.
We resolved the issue by sending a request to the GoogleDriveAbout API before anything else, which seems to reliably trigger reauthentication. Once authenticated everything works as expected.

Google cloud asset assets.list REST API Quota exceeded error returned

I'm trying to use cloud asset inventory assets.list REST API request from my code and after reaching the maximum quota I get the following error: "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'ListAssets Requests' and limit 'ListAssets Requests per minute' of service 'cloudasset.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:ProjectNumber'" where the ProjectNumber I get match the project-id of my project and I can also see the requests made under the quotes tab in Cloud Asset API.
However When I'm using the "Try this method" in "https://cloud.google.com/asset-inventory/docs/reference/rest/v1/assets/list" above the quota limit I getthe same quota error but with some ProjectNumber I don't recognize (doesn't match the project-id of my project) and I also can't see the requests made under the quotes tab.
I would appreciate an explanation of the reason I get a project number I don't recognize when using the second method? who own this project number?
When you use "Try this method", you're leveraging a Google-owned project.
The Google-owned project is the one that backs the APIs Explorer
s "Try this method" (OAuth2) client and the project that has all Google's APIs enabled.
A similar approach is used by gcloud when you use gcloud auth application-default though I assume it's a different project.
In both cases, think of these as Google (not your) applications and, as with any (!) application that requires credentials, in these cases, Google must provide a project that enables OAuth2 and enables the appropriate APIs.
NOTE This mechanism helps explain why, sometimes when using either of these Google applications, the user may find "Service X is not enabled [for project ...]". In this case, Google has not enabled the API in the backing project and so the developer is unable to use it.

Creating WML credentials - 400 error in IBM Cloud Shell

I am following this tutorial (https://courses.cognitiveclass.ai/courses/course-v1:IBMDeveloperSkillsNetwork+DW0101EN+v1/course/) for machine learning.
In lab 3, I am trying to create predictions in Node-RED. However, to link these I need WML credentials (API key and instance ID). Since, there is no longer a credentials tab in the UI on IBM Cloud I have tried to create the credentials following steps here
https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/analyze-data/ml-authentication.html
This creates an API key but there is no associated instance ID that I can find.
I also tried creating them programmatically following
https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/analyze-data/ml-get-wml-credentials.html?linkInPage=true
but I get the following error
FAILED
Error response from server. Status code: 400; description: 400 Service Broker returned error status code 400.
Is anyone else facing the same issue and know how to resolve it?

Issue in calling the OneDrive for Business REST API to upload image files

I am facing the issue in calling the OneDrive for Business API to work. Below are the steps I have followed till now:
Created a Web App/API application in Microsoft Azure Portal (A very tricky process). Gave all the permissions.
Got Application ID (A_ID) from there.
Went to the URL to get the 'code' via browser:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<A_ID>&redirect_uri=<URI>
Got the code. Did a callout via POSTMAN (using the code, client ID, client secret and redirect URI) to the URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token
Received an Access Token (AT) and other details.
NOW, when I want to use this AT to upload a file, I am getting the error. The URI is: https://<tenant>/_api/v2.0/me/drive/root:/Abc.txt:/content. For headers, I am passing: Authorization-> Bearer AT; Content-Type -> application/octet-stream
The error is:
{"error":{"code":"unauthenticated","message":"Token contains invalid signature.","innerError":{"code":"invalidSignature"}}}
I don't know where the issue is. Is it in the tenant name I am using (There is a chance that I might be using it wrong!) OR is it in the permissions OR I have not set up the app in the Azure Portal correctly OR is it something entirely different.

IBM Weather REST API 401 Keep getting CORS issues when access

I am getting a 401 and some cross domain issues when trying to access IBM Weather REST API from either client (browser) or server.
If I generate a URL and try and access it directly from a browser (eg paste it in it works fine and the JSON weather report is returned).
When I try and run the Javascript HTTP request from either the browser or server it seems like it's only allowed to run from an ibm.com domain.
Failed to load https://twcservice.au-syd.mybluemix.net/api/weather/v1/geocode/-33.00/151.00/forecast/daily/7day.json?units=m&language=en-US: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains multiple values 'https://*.ibm.com, https://*.ibmcloud.com', but only one is allowed. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.
I am using the free service on Bluemix. Is this restricted to only run via a Bluemix server? or are there some options I can pass when I create the service on Bluemix
Note, when I make the request I am using the credentials supplied via the Bluemix console. Again, this works via the browser URL bar, but not via code.
Update/More info: if I hit past the URL above into the browser (with creds) it works as above, then if hit it via the web app in the same session it works.
Hmmm. So the IBM server is sending the following response header:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://*.ibm.com, https://*.ibmcloud.com
That's an invalid response from IBM. Unfortunately, I think your only option is to complain to IBM, and convince them to
Return a valid Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header (with only one value)
Allow people outside of IBM to access it
Without that, I fear you're out of luck.
