I am trying to use this as I don't want to use the scala.html template files, and this seemed to do exactly what I wanted. I can CURL to create a user and get a token, but I don't know what to do with the redirects when trying to authenticate with a social provider, such as Facebook. There don't seem to be any instructions, either. Any help would be appreciated.
The readme gets you to the point where you have signed up a user and with the credentials POST retrieved the X-Auth-Token.
After a little debugging you will submit a POST request to the auth/link route to associate the user with the returned X-Auth-Token with a social provider as in:
http :9000/auth/link/facebook 'accessToken=xxxxx' X-Auth-Token:tokenfromearlier
Note the syntax of httpie is specific and must use = for json and : for headers. You obtain accessToken from here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/access_token/
This will return the following JSON:
{
"message": "link with social completed!",
"status": "ok"
}
Not yet sure how to accomplish the next step which is to invoke the
/auth/signin/facebook POST route as this requires the ID of the provider and I am still figuring out the fb graph access approach.

I am new to .net-core and docker. The problem I am going to explain here is a bit tricky, but if you have any type of questions please do ask me and I will explain it more clearly.
So, I have a docker container running on my localhost for whatsapp business api, as explained in Whatsapp Business Api Documentation.
I have already downloaded Postman Collection of Whatsapp Business Api from Whatsapp Business Postman Collection.
Everything seems to be working perfectly fine. But now I want to call these pre-built apis with .net-core and get the responses. As I couldn't find anything good, or also as a newbie it's difficult for me to understand. So for some knowledge I would like to know How can I call them and get the effective response. For example, take an example of a post request for admin login
API:
{{URL}}/v1/users/login
Authorization -> (Basic Auth)
username: admin
password: ****
RESPONSE:
{
"users": [
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiAiSFMyNTYiLCAidHlwIjogIkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjoiYWRtaW4iLCJpYXQiOjE1NTk5MTE1NTUsImV4cCI6MTU2MDUxNjM1NSwid2E6cmFuZCI6LTQxMzgyNDE0MjYwMDI5NjA1OTl9.PYAhEilXX3GDhRo0O-M0V0aXWfL5THJkG65LfIesxh4",
"expires_after": "2019-06-14 12:45:55+00:00"
}
],
"meta": {
"version": "v2.23.4",
"api_status": "stable"
}
}
the images for more explanation can be seen below in the request and response links.
The Login Authentication UI Image.
The Login Authentication Postman Image.
The Login Authentication Response New Password UI Image.
The Login Authentication Response Postman Image.
Now with this token I can create more users by other api calls.
How can I call an api like this and get the response with token and use that token for more functionalities or api calls with .netcore.
Thank you.
Your question is very broad, but in general, you want to create a service class where you inject a typed HttpClient instance (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/http-requests?view=aspnetcore-2.2#typed-clients).
The token can be stored on a private field or property in that service class. Then, just create a private method like GetTokenAsync in the service class, where you will either get the value from the field, or if it's null, then call the API to get it. All your other methods will then call GetTokenAsync to get the token they need, and make their own calls. Finally, inject the service class where you need it.
I'm a newbie to access with DropBox's Api (See: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#oauth2-methods). Now there's a problem rocking me——
1) I get an access_token successfully.
2) I wanna see the user's detailled info by directly calling "https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/account/info". However the result is:
{"error_description": "No auth function available for given request", "error": "invalid_request"}
It seems that I should give the address something to make sure that I'm already authenticated. But how? I didn't see anything in Documents……? Any where?
Thanks
The API uses OAuth 2, so you'll want to attach an "Authorization" header with the value "Bearer ACCESSTOKEN", where ACCESSTOKEN is the access token you obtained through the OAuth process.
I´m trying to connect via Linkedin Auth2 from a java web application:
Added my own app in linkedin.
Generate the authorization URL: https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=XXX&scope=r_basicprofile%20r_fullprofile%20r_emailaddress&state=DCEEFWF454Us5dffef424&redirect_uri=http://localhost:9090/springmvc/token.htm
Introduce my login/password for linkedin in the new popup.
Get back successful the request on the redirect_uri previus, and take the authorization code "code"
Generate the accessToken URL
Make a POST with: https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code=YYY&redirect_uri=http://localhost:9090/SpringMVC/token.htm&client_id=XXX&client_secret=ZZZ
Get next error in response: {"error_description":"missing required parameters, includes an invalid parameter value, parameter more than once. : Unable to retrieve access token : appId or redirect uri does not match authorization code or authorization code expired","error":"invalid_request"}
I´ve verified url parameters are correct:
- "code" is the token receive on step 4.
"redirect_uri" is the same URL on step 2 and 4. I added this URL on section "OAuth 2.0 redirect URL" on my APP.
"client_id" and "client_secret" are the "Client API" and "Secret API" on my APP.
Time between first and second request is less than 20 seconds.
The value of your redirect_uri parameter must be URL-encoded, so at 6. do:
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code=YYY&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9090%2FSpringMVC%2Ftoken.htm&client_id=XXX&client_secret=ZZZ
and it need not be sent as a POST but as a GET.
If You Are Sending a Request For Access Token it must be POST Request
Refer the OAuth Documentation
I actually Copied the Whole URL From My Eclipse Console To URL It is Still Valid
In Your Case The Problem is with URL Encoding As HanZ said .
You Have to Encode Your URL For Post Request.
I too got bugged with this issue for long time. Please keep few things in mind which I did and eventually sorted it out.
Hit the api to get authorization code by using get request.
The authorization code has a life span of about 20 seconds, so its difficult to manually copy the code from the url and make a request for token access. You should do it pro-grammatically.
Make a post request for getting access token.
Most Important: Old linkedin applications that I had created was not working and giving the above error. Create a new linkedin application and try. Doing this worked for me.
I assume that all the other parameters like client_id, secret, redirect_uri are correct.
please try and let us know.
Thanks.
There are many other question related to this, but they didn't help me fix my problem.
I'm using the Facebook server-side login for a website, which I want to test locally. The path that initiates the login action is [http://localhost:8080/fblogin] (this redirects to the Facebook login dialogue, and goes from there).
I can successfully get the code, but when I try to exchange that for an access token, I get the following error:
{"error":{"message":"Missing redirect_uri parameter.","type":"OAuthException","code":191}}
I am providing the redirect_uri, url encoded and it is the same as the one I use to get the first code. Here is the url I'm using to request the access token (with the all-caps query string parameters replaced with their actual values, of course):
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Ffblogin&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&code=CODE_FROM_FB
I suspect this might have to do with how my app is set up on Facebook. Here are the values I have set:
Display Name: (an actual display name here)
App Domains: localhost
Contact email: (an actual email here)
Site URL: [http://localhost:8080/fblogin]
What do I need to tweak in the settings to get this to work? Or does this look correct?
By the way, if it makes any difference, I am using the Play! framework, version 2.0.1
After digging around a little more, I found that it was necessary for me to use POST when sending the request from my server to get the access token.
Interesting that using POST worked for you as this didn't for me.
In any case, did you add the query parameters using setQueryParameter()? (see How to make multiple http requests in play 2?)
I'm using FB.login on the JS client and want to verify the user's identity on the server. So, the client gets a signedRequest from facebook and sends it to the server. The server splits on the period, and decodes the second part of the signedRequest into a json object.
What should I be using for "code" when I send my server-side request to
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&code=CODE_GENERATED_BY_FACEBOOK
My decoded json looks something like:
{"algorithm":"HMAC-SHA256","code":"2.AQCPA_yfx4JHpufjP.3600.1335646800.1-5702286|l11asGeDQTMo3MrMx3SC0PksALj6g","issued_at":1335642445,"user_id":"5232286"}
Is that the code I need? Does it need to be B64 encoded? If this isn't the code, what code should I use?
_
What I've tried:
The request I'm trying to use is:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=295410083869479&redirect_uri=https://squaredme.appspot.com/facebookredirect&client_secret=44f1TOPSECRETbb8e&code=2.AQCPA_yfx4JHpufjP.3600.1335646800.1-5702286|l11asGeDQTMo3MrMx3SC0PksALj6g
but this returns the error:
{"error":{"message":"Error validating verification code.","type":"OAuthException","code":100}}
I can't tell if this is because I'm using a bad code, or what. Noteably, this is running on my local dev server, and squaredme.appspot.com definitely does NOT resolve to my IP. I don't know if facebook checks that or what - I'm assuming I'd get a better error message. Thanks for any direction!
You are trying to somehow combine the two flows together and that's why things don't work well.
When facebook POSTs into the iframe with your app url and a signed request there are two options, the easy one being that the user is already authenticated and then the signed request will have all the necessary data (including a signed request), then you just load the canvas page and use the JS SDK to get an access token there as well, but in this case there's no need to use the FB.login (since it opens a popup and will automatically close it), you can use the FB.getLoginStatus method which won't annoy the user.
If the user is not authenticated then the sign request will be missing the things you need to use the graph api.
You then redirect the user to the auth dialog, and since you are loaded in an iframe you'll need to return a html response which redirects the parent window using javascript, like:
top.location.href = "AUTH_DIALOG_URL";
When the use is done (accepted or rejected the app) he will be redirected to the "redirect_uri" you added as a parameter to the auth dialog.
If the user accepted your app then you'll be getting the "code" parameter in the query string.
You then take the code, exchange it with an access token as you posted in your question, and then redirect the user back to "apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP".
When the page then loads the user is already authenticated and you'll be getting a full signed request.
I hope this clarifies things for you, recheck the Server-Side flow it pretty much covers it all.
I also had some trouble with that, then I found the solution here in StackOverflow.
There are two kinds of "code" provided by facebook. One comes inside the signedRequest in the cookie generated by the client-side flow. The Facebook's JS SDK handles this codes and get a access token without telling us anything.
The other type of code comes attached as a query to your redirect URI (http://www.yoururl.com/index.php?code=AAAgyiaus...), when you navigate to OAuth URL (server-side flow). With this code, you go to a Token URL and get your access token.
When you are using the server-side flow, you need to indicate a redirect URI both in the OAuth URL AND in the Token URL, and they have to be exactly the same, so a missing slash or a query string can be a lot of problem.
The codes are different from each other. When you use the both things together, appears to be impossible to get a access token using the code that was inside the cookie's signedRequest.
BUT, it is not. The magic is: the code from signedRequest is associated with NO URI, so as long as the redirect_uri is a mandatory field, all you have to do is to pass it blank when you navigate to the Token URL.
So the final solution is: grab the signedRequest from the cookie, parse it in your server to obtain the code, then read the Token URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&redirect_uri=&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&code=CODE_INSIDE_THE_SIGNED_REQUEST
It looks like a hack, so I don't know how long it's gonna work, but it's working right now.
