I have just installed openchain (http://openchain.org)
I can check it on http://nossl.wallet.openchain.org/ but I would like to check API using Postman Rest client tool on my PC.
I'm using postman rest client and I have tried URI many times but response is empty : https://docs.openchain.org/en/latest/api/method-calls.html
Please give some advises, thanks in advance !
You should want it to look like something like this picture. Check your headers also, when I use the URL https://www.openchain.org/endpoint/query/recordversion?key=FFFF I get nothing and then when I check the headers I see there is a 404 status which means I was able to communicate with the server but it couldn't find my key. Which makes sense since I am just passing a random key. So see if you are getting a 404 error in your headers and if so then make sure your key is correct.

I am submitting a request for data from the Binanance API as follows:
https://api.bscscan.com/api
?module=logs
&action=getLogs
&fromblock=24726622
&toBlock=24726632
&address=0x94084b7a8d80b2c3cc0dccd87cb6ae3cc67d364d
&topic0=0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef
&apikey=JRYDR6FBWRKY5C8NMZJKFB8GEP1QHFQJQT
However, I can't get any data from this URL. I have double-checked, and I know that the parameters are correct.
Here is an example of using Binanace's API, which works well:
https://api.bscscan.com/api
?module=logs
&action=getLogs
&fromBlock=4993830
&toBlock=4993832
&address=0xe561479bebee0e606c19bb1973fc4761613e3c42
&topic0=0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef
&apikey=YourApiKeyToken
Why is that working but mine not working?
I would highly suggest using Postman, which you can use to quickly test requests. I ran your request, with api-key, through Postman and was able to get a 200 response with data. See this screenshot.
Please note I blanked out the api key value. I suggest you do the same in your post unless its fake.
I had to remove the line breaks in the code you pasted. Could this possibly be the issue?
I wanted to use vs code's extension REST client for testing purposes. So I used a curl of an existing API running on my local machine. But instead of JSON, I got HTML as a response. The curl works as expected in the terminal but not with the extension.
The same Behaviour is with another extension named Thunder Client.
Postman is getting JSON responses for the same API I believe that issue lies within vs code itself, I just don't know how to resolve it.
According to this article:
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/207835/is-it-ok-to-return-html-from-a-json-api
If you have declared you only accept one format in the header then the service should only send back that format or throw an error. If you have not put an ACCEPT in the header, the the service may send back whatever.
Check what is in the ACCEPT header:
But also check how Thunder Client translates the call in powershell:
I see that in my call the response is translated to JSON. I would guess that most REST clients are assuming that users want to work in JSON. Maybe that's what your two REST clients are doing?
I need a tool which gives me a URL to make a HTTP request that will be recorded and it shows me what body was sent, which headers, which parameters, the method...
It's like something kind of opposite of Postman.
I tried to find such type of tool/service but didn't find any. If someone knows something similar, please let me know, thank you.
Actually, Postman has a feature which captures the request:
Enable it and just make the call to the set port (localhost:5555 by default) and it will be saved under the request history.
Is it possible to intercept the request going through Charles and immediately return 500 error code without sending this request to the server?
Can't find any information on this. All resources suggest to wait for the response and then change HTTP response code to 500.
I assume you have already tried adding a rewrite rule to make the request to be returned with the 500 status. Have you tried combining this with a map local, to an empty file on your disk, for instance? It may work.
If this doesn't work too, I think I would do a Map Remote to another path on my localhost (for instance: http://localhost:8081/exected-response-500) and make that URL to return the 500 status error (in my case I would use a basic Spring Boot app to achieve this).
I am using PostMan as a REST client to test this API method Cisco ACL Analysis API. specifically POST /acl/trace or getAClTracksStd (first go to Policy Analysis)
Here is my PostMan HTTP test call
Does anyone who is familiar with PostMan understand why I am getting this "Request method 'GET' is not supported" error from the server? I am making a POST HTTP request, not GET.(Selected from Drop down menu) It make more sense for me to get a input invalid parameter error or something.
Just to show that the endpoint url works, heres a HTTP test request that works
(same link, host->host API -> GET /host/{startIndex}/{recordsToReturn}
There's two issues that I'm seeing with your REST call. First, the error you're seeing is because the call needs to be preceded by "https://". Second, remove the interface IDs parameter and values. You should get a response with data after making these changes.
Your json looks erronuous (comma after the destIp) - and the server probably always responds with a default confusing error message in this case. (Postman is very well tested and it sends POST).
