pocket api request failing - missing consumer key - pocket

could anyone help me understand what's wrong with this request to pocket?
curl -Li
http://getpocket.com/v3/oauth/request
-X POST
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "X-Accept: application/json"
-d "{\"consumer_key\":\"xxxx-xxxxxxxxx\",\"redirect_uri\":\"http://www.google.com\"}"
I get a
< X-Error: Missing consumer key.
< X-Error-Code: 138
back.
the xxxx bits are really the key I got from the website when I created my App, and I've also tried with and without the -Li options on curl but it makes no difference.
I've followed the guide from here - I'm sure I've made a dumb typo somewhere, but I can't see where it is.

You need to use https, as per API:
All calls to the Pocket Authentication API should be done over HTTPS.

Is it possible to record/playback http trafic to a kerberized endpoint like yarn rest API with wiremock?

I've tried to use wiremock to record http exchanges between curl and a yarn rest API server but the kerberos negotiation failed (curl -negotiate ... => Unauthorized).
Is there any way to do that ? Or am I doomed to record and map by hand for the tests?
Thanks in advance.
Patrice
Thanks to Samson suggestion, I made a first request with "curl -negotiate" to register the "hadoop.auth" cookie.
Then I re-injected this cookie in each curl request using wiremock as proxy to register the trafic.
curl --verbose --cookie "hadoop.auth=XXXXXXX" -u : --compressed -H "Accept: application/json" -X GET "http://yarn-server/ws/v1/cluster/apps" --proxy localhost:8080
Hope this helps somebody.

Curl not working with CSRF token in REST POST

REST: POST fails with CSRF enabled, though it works in POSTMAN.
I have added several headers like -H Set Cookie: JSESSIONID=xxxx along with -H X-CSRF-TOKEN: bbbb, -b cookies.txt after generating it. I would like to know what exactly has to be added to make the request work ?

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 Rush API Sandbox

Trying to test Uber Rush API (from localhost and from linux server).
Calling Token works - I get the token
trying to implement sanbox example:
curl -X "PUT /v1/sandbox/deliveries/{delivery_id}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <OAUTH TOKEN>" \
-d "{\"status\":\"en_route_to_pickup\"}"
with url https://sandbox-api.uber.com/
and I tried the same request with file_get_contents (in PHP)
So, I always get error "405 Method Not Allowed"
{"message":"Method not supported for this endpoint.","code":"method_not_allowed"}
What I need to do to get access to method from this sandbox example https://developer.uber.com/docs/rush/sandbox?
Corrent syntax
curl -X "PUT" -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"status\":\"en_route_to_pickup\"}" https://sandbox-api.uber.com/v1/sandbox/deliveries/DELIVERY_ID
EDIT: Updated to reflect both issues in your question...
You have a mismatch in your requests and an incorrect syntax for curl.
First off your CURL request is incorrectly specified. It should be:
curl -X "PUT" -H "Authorization: Bearer <OAUTH TOKEN>" -d "{\"status\":\"en_route_to_pickup\"}" https://sandbox-api.uber.com/v1/sandbox/deliveries/{delivery_id}
In addition, your curl command is trying to issue a PUT request to the uber sandbox PUT API. However, your PHP code is not setting the context correctly and so is probably issuing a GET request. I suspect that the server is therefore rejecting the request as a GET as not allowed to do this sort of operation.
To fix it, see Bad request using file_get_contents for PUT request in PHP. This should give you an example of how to pass in the necessary context to issue a PUT request using file_get_contents().
