I'm working on HP UFT Rest API Testing where i need to Pass "Authorization : Bearer " to perform or execute the Rest Service request then only my service will execute and displays the response.
Can any one give me the solutions,How to add Oauth Bearer token in QTP for Rest API Testing.
Please refere below link :

There will be methods associated with the every block/methods , you can write C# code to append the string to the output of authorization operation and store in a global variable- that can be passed as a input to subsequent operation.
BeforeMethod , aftermethods are some of Event Handlers that are assosicated with each operation.

We are trying to ingest data from Amazon Selling Partner API. We currently have an azure function that signs our request and returns the header values. The authorization header contains commas in it and the comma causes the activity to fail on the client side.
Here is an exampleof the authorization header:
AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE/20130524/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request,SignedHeaders=date;host;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date;x-amz-storage-class,Signature=98ad721746da40c64f1a55b78f14c238d841ea1380cd77a1b5971af0ece108bd
To reproduce, create a new pipeline and add a web activity. Enter "http://www.google.com" for the url with the method GET. Add a header like above.
You should get the following error:
Error calling the endpoint 'http://www.google.com'. Response status code: 'NA - Unknown'. More details: Exception message: 'NA - Unknown [ClientSideException] The format of value 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE/20130524/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request,SignedHeaders=date;host;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date;x-amz-storage-class,Signature=98ad721746da40c64f1a55b78f14c238d841ea1380cd77a1b5971af0ece108bd' is invalid.'.
Request didn't reach the server from the client. This could happen because of an underlying issue such as network connectivity, a DNS failure, a server certificate validation or a timeout.
Any work arounds for this?
Thanks,
Scott
If you are using Authorization as a header to get data make sure to use bearer in front of the Token.
Authorization Bearer < Access Token >
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got below results:

Hello Pentaho Experts,
I am attempting to make a REST API call through REST Client in Pentaho. I have a Api key for authentication. I tried it in Postman, and it works perfectly fine, but Pentaho throws 403 status code. Below is the postman screenshot:
My Pentaho transformation contains two steps. I am passing URL through "Generate Rows" step and then adding Key and Value in the Header:
Generate Rows:
Rest Client (General):
Rest Client (Header):
Any idea what I might be missing here? Expected output is JSON.
I can't speak to the use of passing key/value in Header for authentication, but what has worked for me is to use the Authentication tab to input my credentials or passing an Authentication header with a bearer token.
Authentication Tab:
I use this method to generate and return a bearer token from the API. The token is then used as the authentication method in subsequent steps. The "body" includes the scope (i.e.: "reports:read") and grant type ("client_credentials"). The "header" contains the value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
Authentication Header:
Once a token has been returned from the API, this can be provided in an "authorization" header. Prepend "bearer" to the token value and pass this in the header tab.
I would also recommend looking at the Headers being passed in Postman to ensure you are not missing anything else that might be happening in your call.
I have attempted to use the provided test data from the Cybersource documentation to create a token for a test PAN. However, when attempting to do so (assuming it was a REST Api) it results in a "403 - Forbidden" error. The documentation is limited, as it doesn't give much information on the API other than the following:

Is this a REST or SOAP API? How can this be tested in Postman? I tested to check if either works, and was unsuccessful. There is no information on what to include in the header either, so this is a bit puzzling.

"Is this a REST or SOAP API?"
The URL, https://testsecureacceptance.cybersource.com/silent/token/create, is used for Secure Acceptance Checkout API. Secure Acceptance Checkout API is neither a SOAP API or a REST API. It is designed to be used as an HTML form POST from a customers browser.
If your goal is to use a REST API from the browser then you will want to use Secure Acceptance Flexible Token documented here.
If your goal is to use Secure Acceptance Checkout API the full documentation for that is here.
"How can this be tested in Postman?"
Since this is not meant to be a REST API call but an HTML form POST and HTML response you may have limited success with Postman. For example even if you get the request to work successfully the response will be an HTML document not JSON.
One problem I see is that you are using the example signature, and that will not work for you. Ensure that you follow the documentation on how to create your signature as well as set the signed and unsigned fields.
#J.J. - the error you encountered -- "This field is invalid or missing.Please contact Customer Support.: ots_profileid' ". Is telling you that you are missing (or have an invalid) profileID in your request payload. The system doesn't know what profile to use when processing this request.
I have a specificaiton for a project that accesses a third party service -RESTfully and requires oAuth authentication. [It accepts only GET method, and no access token is required since I will be trying to access the protected resources using consumer key and consumer secret values along with the oauth parameters.]
I am using SoapUI-Pro 4.6.1 and tried sending a GET request with oauth parameters as authorization header using signpost method, but my project accepts only when the oauth parameters are sent in the URL.
So, when I generate oauth signature, nonce and timestamp values manually using this link- http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/javascript/example/signature.html and update it in my request URL, it is working fine.
Sample URL: http://sample.com/content/?oauth_consumer_key=abc&oauth_nonce=FUINSzmeoDh&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1384436218&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature=ISAsa2LJt3tVhgCnbL/GQszcZbc=
Instead of this manual step, is there a way to generate oauth_signature, oauth_timestamp & oauth_nonce values automatically and then use it in the request URI as an input parameter?
Thanks in advance!
In the version SoapUI Version 5.0.0 and above, you have an option to add query parameters.
On clicking the text box on parameters, we get a window with options to add parameters. Refer to the image.
I have been using FB api for some simple demo and everything was quite easy with the authentication. Now I have to do something similar with twitter v1.1 but there is something that I really don't understand...
Example:
I want to do this request:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=q=%23freebandnames
the problem is that I have to be authenticated, anyone have some examples? I don't want to create a twitter connection because I don't need different users to be connected to my applicaiton. I have just to perform some simple search request but I can't understand how to use the authentication parameters. Which type of Ajax request I have to use in order to perform the REST request authenticated??? (Obviously I have my secret token and my access secret token) but how to use them????
THanks in advance for answers
You can use this javascript library: codebird-js with the "Application-only auth".
or
Do it yourself: everything is explained in the documentation.
Basically you need to follow 3 steps (and you should do the 2 first just once):
An application encodes its consumer key and secret into a specially encoded set of credentials.
An application makes a request to the POST oauth2/token endpoint to exchange these credentials for a bearer token.
When accessing the REST API, the application uses the bearer token to authenticate.
The steps are detailed in the documentation.
You can do the first 2 separately and when you get your bearer token, you need to add a specific HTTP Header (Authorization) in each request with your bearer token (that's the 3rd step). With jQuery it could be something like that:
$.ajax({
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer '+$my_bearer_token },
url: 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q='+$search
}).done(function (data) {
// Play with the data
});
