Url parameter is required while making a call using Twilio API - rest

I am trying to make calls using REST API and the Language I am using isn Apex.However,it is throwing me error saying 'Url parameter is required. For more information, see '
I am using Endpoint URL as follows :-
https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts//Calls.json?Url=http://demo.twilio.com/docs/voice.xml
If you see I am adding the Url param to the endpoint,still it is throwing me an error.
I am able to send SMS through Rest API,the issue is only when I am making calls.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Url must be POSTed to the API, you are now sending it as a GET parameter.
Change your code so that it does a POST instead of a GET and sent the Url parameter as a POST variable.
(see http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/making-calls#post-parameters)
Also you left out the {AccountSid} in your URL, that's required as well. Of course you may have left it out because you don't want it publicly visible on SO, but I can't from here that that's your reason ;)

How to pass extra parameters in HTTP DELETE request?

I am writing a REST API, which supports POST/GET/DELETE method for the same url.
For the DELETE method, the API needs extra parameters (details of the deletion). But the library I am using doesn't support request body for DELETE method, how can I do it?
If I put the parameter in URL like:
DELETE /API/Resource/id/parameter
Then I break the RESTyness.
Or I need to use another method POST/PUT, which is not RESTy, either.
Why is POST / PUT not RESTy? Take a look at the twitter REST API: You can destroy a status by POSTing to /statuses/id/destroy. That request does accept parameters. You could do something similar to this:
POST /API/Resource/id/destroy
I think that is RESTy enough.

Why am I getting request method GET not supported?

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).

I'm having a lot of trouble with Facebook OAuth

I have created a class that generates a URL that authorized my users with Facebook. Here it is:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&client_id=...&scope=email%2Cuser_about_me%2Cuser_friends%2Cuser_hometown%2Cuser_location%2Cuser_work_history%2Cuser_education_history%2Cpublish_actions&state=...&redirect_uri=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%3a53016%2fsocial%2fcallback%3fvariables%3dY2FsbGJhY2tfdXJsOi9MYW5kaW5nO2ZhbGxiYWNrX3VybDovQ29uc3VsdGFudC9TaWduVXA7bWV0aG9kOjE7cHJvdmlkZXI6MQ%3d%3d
This URL works just fine and returns back to my callback function. I'm able to convert the base64 string to my variables that I pass along with my URL. The trouble that I am facing is that Facebook doesn't recognize the URL to give me the access_token. This the return URL that I send to Facebook for the access_token.
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=...&client_secret=...&code=...&redirect_uri=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%3a53016%2fsocial%2fcallback%3fvariables%3dY2FsbGJhY2tfdXJsOi9MYW5kaW5nO2ZhbGxiYWNrX3VybDovQ29uc3VsdGFudC9TaWduVXA7bWV0aG9kOjE7cHJvdmlkZXI6MQ%3d%3d
(I have cleared out the client_id and client_secret for obvious reasons.)
Can anyone notice what I am doing wrong here?
Perry thank you for your help. I was able to figure out what the problem was on my project. When I was encoding my parameters to Base64 I wasn't using the proper methods to convert it to String. This answer on stackoverflow helped me figure out what I was doing wrong.
C# Method like Base64String, but only alphanumeric (no plus or slash)
The answer in particular is from Mason G. Zhwiti. I was just doing Convert.Base64String instead of HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode(byte[] b). After I did that I was able to get my response. I seemed that my URL had two equal symbols at the end. That was throwing off Facebooks URL validation. Once I did the appropriate method it started working.
I hope this helps anyone else who is struggling with this type of problem.
What is the specific error message - was it unauthorized redirect_uri?
I'm kind of oblivious to the variables - what are they for?
It doesn't seem like you should be doing the callback to a querystring URL, but maybe that's OK. When I first implemented OAuth2, I had the API calls originate from and callback to specific URLs for each provider, such as mysite.com/login-google.php or mysite.com/login-facebook.php, but now I have the callbacks point to the main site URL (mysite.com). Since we have index.php at the main site URL, we can intercept the callback in index.php and route them to the desired provider script (login-google.php or login-facebook.php) which cleans up the callback URLs and makes them a no-brainer for end-users to work with.
Your callback URL:
http://localhost:53016/social/callback?variables=Y2FsbGJhY2tfdXJsOi9MYW5kaW5nO2ZhbGxiYWNrX3VybDovQ29uc3VsdGFudC9TaWduVXA7bWV0aG9kOjE7cHJvdmlkZXI6MQ==
Can you access that callback URL in a browser? Code it up to throw an error or output a debug message so you know the callback URL is working.
I've documented the OAuth2 flow for Facebook quite cleanly in this code: https://github.com/perrybutler/WP-OAuth/blob/master/login-facebook.php
Hope it all helps...

Facebook server-side OAuth 2.0 on localhost:8080 can't get access token missing redirect_uri

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?)

How To Register New User Using Dwolla API

This started as a question, but in the process of posting this question, I solved it. So now, this is an FYI post...
==========
At first, whenever I tried to post to this URL, I would get an error message:
https:// www.dwolla.com/oauth/rest/register --> Bad URL
There is no operation listening for
http:// phx-dwol-web1.cloudworks.com/oauth/rest/register, but there is
an operation listening for
http:// www.dwolla.com/oauth/rest/register/, so you are being
redirected there.
I fixed by appending the auth values to the post URL:
https://www.dwolla.com/oauth/rest/register/?client_id={id}&client_secret={secret}
--> Good URL
Then, I was having trouble with request formatting. To fix this, make sure that you post JSON in the BODY of the post. Do NOT append to the URL, or submit as form fields.
Lastly, when I finally got a proper response from the Dwolla API, I was getting this error:
"New user must accept terms of service."
This is because the Dwolla API is CASE SENSITIVE, so the "ACCEPTTERMS" parameter in the JSON body must be submitted as "acceptTerms" in order for it to work.
Here is the documentation I am referencing:
http://developers.dwolla.com/dev/docs/register
Happy coding!
Thanks for the answer...it ultimately led to me solving my problem as well.
For completeness, I encountered this error when sending a poorly formed request to the api, where I had left off the trailing / before the get parameter {oauth_token}.
INCORRECT:
http://www.dwolla.com/oauth/rest/users?oauth_token={oauth_token}
CORRECT:
http://www.dwolla.com/oauth/rest/users/?oauth_token={oauth_token}
