uber api, when i get trips, get internal_server_error - uber-api

I test this request every day from different account.
curl -X "GET" "https://api.uber.com/v1/partners/trips" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>"
All requests get error 500
{
"message": "We have experienced a problem.",
"code": "internal_server_error"
}
But I don't change anything and sometimes i get my trips.
How to fix this error? And stable getting my trips.
Please let me know.
Thanks much.

code 500 is server error not wrong request, if sometimes it's working that you have information is only server problem not with your code

GitHub API returning 404 although resource exists

I'm trying to send a POST request to the GitHub API to submit a comment on a commit.
According to the documentation, all that's needed (other than the URL params) is the body.
I have modified the example from the docs to the following:
curl \
-X POST \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/repos/dchacke/test/commits/9b7413350932dd3f2906c0fdd26106c35c7ce450/comments \
-d '{"body":"test comment"}'
That should post a test comment to this commit. I know the commit and the owner and repo exist (it's my repo and I can see the commit under that URL), and yet I'm getting a 404 with the following response body upon submitting that API request:
{
"message": "Not Found",
"documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-commit-comment"
}
The documentation makes no mention of authentication being required for that endpoint. A 404 doesn't exactly sound like an authentication problem, but just in case GitHub doesn't want to confirm the existence of repos/commits to unauthenticated users (though they do let them see those things on their website...), I tried setting a personal access token in an additional Authorization header in my CURL request. No dice.
What am I doing wrong?
Authentication was the issue after all. I had to make sure I used a token with the right privileges. In this case, it needed the public_repo privilege, which can be set up here.

Vimeo api returning specified resource not found, but video available through browser

I am able to view video through browser but when tried to get metadata for same using curl, I get below response
{
"error": "Something strange occurred. Please try again.",
"link": null,
"developer_message": "The specified resource doesn't exist.",
"error_code": 5000 }
Below is the curl url I am using.
curl -H "Authorization: bearer XXXX9eb82b84aX7XXXXXXca61eb3372" -H 'Accept: application/vnd.vimeo.user+json;version=3.0,application/vnd.vimeo.video+json;version=3.4' https://api.vimeo.com/videos/XXXXXXX
For some security reasons, I can not copy actual token or video id here. Hoping to get some help here.
Thanks
Maybe there is a problem with your access token, make sure it has the "private" scope

Cannot call the PayPal Sync API due to Authorization Failure

I'm trying to use the relatively new PayPal Sync API to download my PayPal transactions. I'm following the Sync API guide. I started by logging into the PayPal Developer Dashboard My Apps & Credentials page, scrolling to the REST API apps section, creating an app, clicking on it, and enabling Transaction Search for both the Sandbox and Live accounts.
I then used the Sandbox account's Client ID and Secret to generate an Access Token. I confirmed that the Client ID and Secret are correct and active. My cURL command is below (note that I'm using cURL on Windows 10):
curl -v https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token ^
-H "Accept: application/json" ^
-H "Accept-Language: en_US" ^
-u "<my-client-id>:<my-secret>" ^
-d "grant_type=client_credentials"
I received a response similar to the following (I added the formatting):
{
"scope":"https://uri.paypal.com/services/reporting/search/read
https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/.*
https://uri.paypal.com/services/applications/webhooks
openid",
"nonce":"2018-04-04T02:20:02Z...",
"access_token":"<my-access-token>",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"app_id":"<my-app-id>",
"expires_in":32400
}
I then took the Access Token and copied it into the sample command on the Sync API guide page. Here is the command I ran:
curl -v -X GET https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/reporting/transactions?transaction_id=5TY05013RG002845M&fields=all&page_size=100&page=1 ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>"
I received the following error response:
< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
...
< Content-Length: 244
< Connection: close
< Content-Type: application/json
<
{
"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"
}]
}
I tried many things to correct this error, including:
Adding a "Accept: application/json" and "Accept-Language: en_US" header to the command.
Creating a new Secret and generating a new Access Token.
Creating a new App with a new Client ID & Secret and generating a new Access Token.
Disabling Transaction Search, re-enabling it, and sending the command again.
Trying in the Live account.
Each of these attempts produced the same result. I noted that in the scope section of the access token response that it doesn't include a path similar to the stated path for the Sync API (/v1/reporting/transactions). However, that's just an observation, and I'm not sure if that is relevant.
I read through the entire Sync API guides and documentation about five times, and I searched Google and StackOverflow pretty thoroughly. I'm seeing evidence that some people are getting past the initial connection to Sync API, so I'm fairly certain this API works.
Can someone help me understand what I'm missing? Could it just be that I need to wait a day or two for their systems to catch up? PayPal's Developer documentation is not very user-friendly, and their Developer Dashboard is extremely glitchy.
I had this same issue. Putting double quotes around the URL solved it for me. The other API endpoints worked (authentication, authorizations/xyz) because they didn't have any special URL characters in them. In the transaction search, the query string delimiters were being parsed by Bash.
Your curl lines above become:
curl -v -X GET "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/reporting/transactions?transaction_id=5TY05013RG002845M&fields=all&page_size=100&page=1" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>"
Hope that helps someone.
It appears that this error may be caused by either cURL or the way I'm using it. On a hunch, I used Hurl.it to execute this sample request, and the request was successful (HTTP 200). I then tried another request where I searched for all transactions in a given date range, and that was also successful. I'm going to mark the question answered.

GitHub API Create File Returns 404

This seems to be answered elsewhere but using the same command as other answers I still get a 404.
I'm trying to test creating a file with GitHub's v3 API. Whether I use curl or a rest api tester I get a 404 "not found" error. I believe I am getting properly authorized as I can check my rate count and it is counting down from 5,000 (the rate limit you get when authorized).
I can do a GET like so:
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: token <mytoken>" https://api.github.com/repos/<myorg>/<myrepo>/contents/testfile
My PUT is like so:
curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: token <mytoken>" https://api.github.com/repos/<myorg>/<myrepo>/contents/newfile -d "{'message': 'Initial Commit','content': 'bXkgbmV3IGZpbGUgY29udGVudHM='}"
I've also tried this:
curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: token <mytoken>" https://api.github.com/repos/<myorg>/<myrepo>/contents/test.txt -d "{'path': 'test.txt', 'branch': 'dev', 'message': 'Initial Commit', 'committer': {'name': '<myname>', 'email': '<myemail>'}, 'content': 'bXkgbmV3IGZpbGUgY29udGVudHM='}"
So to recap, GET seems to work. PUT seems to not work. If anyone can help please do. If I get no answer, someone please tell my story.
Turns out, I'm just a moron. I was using the personal access token (PAT) of a user that had read-only access to my repo. Using a PAT of someone that had write access worked just fine. Who knew?
Sorry about that, internet. I'll never doubt you again.
I was creating an API wrapper and my input path had an extra leading "/" I removed the forward slash and no more error 404.
So, look for typos in the request URL, especially if your path constructor places a trailing slash. Good constructors usually take care of this case, but clearly not all.

Uber GET requests 403

I am trying
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" "https://api.uber.com/v1.2/requests/<REQUEST_ID>"
and response is 403
{"message":"Forbidden","code":"forbidden"}
But the https://developer.uber.com/docs/riders/guides/scopes says that
The good news is you currently have access to these scopes when authorizing your own account or those of the developer accounts you list in your application dashboard (Limited Access). This allows you to start building an app immediately.
I've got token via OAuth using my own account
I've set param "scope=request" to https://login.uber.com/oauth/v2/authorize
And I've set "scope=request" when did https://login.uber.com/oauth/v2/token
Also I've trying to do request to https://sandbox-api.uber.com, it responds
{ "message": "cannot find trip", "code": "not_found" }
But I think it's ok, because sandbox doesn't contain my own account data, right?
Where is my fault could be?
