Was hoping someone could help me with this.
I've created a new "product" on developer.nest.com and gave it all available permissions with read/write access where available. My product is using code authentication, so after following all steps to get the code, it was time to make some requests.
When I got the "Exchange the authorization code for an access token" of the walkthrough, I did not get anything other than the metadata object. There was nothing about my devices or structures.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
You are most likely authorizing the Works with Nest connection using a Family Account. Only the home "owner" can currently access the Nest structures and associated devices.
The metadata object is not part of "Exchange the authorization code for an access token" flow. If you are seeing metadata you must've received an access token and made an API request to https://developer-api.nest.com. This is where you would see the metadata object. As part of the "Exchange the authorization code for an access token" your response should be an access token and expiration, e.g.
{
"access_token": "c.FmDPkzyzaQe...",
"expires_in": 315569260
}

I have an API that uses Azure AD to provide access to resources. It has one scope api://{client_id}/Api.Read and following API permissions:
User.Read.All,
User.Read.
When I receive an access token from the AD it has only one aud - {client_id} and when I try to access Microsoft graph (e.g. https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me) I get "Access token validation failure. Invalid audience." response as expected.
My question is - Is it possible to access both graph API and my API using one token and how do it?
I am exchanging current token to a "proper" token using on-behalf-of call: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-oauth2-on-behalf-of-flow
Basically, you just make the following call (copied from the link above):
POST /oauth2/v2.0/token HTTP/1.1
Host: login.microsoftonline.com/<YOUR_TENANT>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer
&requested_token_use=on_behalf_of
&client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
&client_secret=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
&assertion=<YOUR_CURRENT_TOKEN>
&scope=<YOUR_NEW_SCOPES>
The response contains the new token to access the resources that are requested in the scopes. My scenario is not exactly yours, but I think this should work for your case as well. You need to make this call server-side.
This assumes that the user has already consented that your app is okay to use <YOUR_NEW_SCOPES>, or otherwise this call will result in "interaction_required" or "invalid_grant" error (something like this, don't remember the exact error name) that basically means you need to raise UI prompt for the user to agree to the new scopes (how to do that is another question)
I am trying to follow the tutorial for Microsoft active-directory
After inputting the client ID and secret into the code and running the code, it takes me to the login page where I login with the credentials but I get the following error:
"errorCode": "request_cannot_be_made",
"errorMessage": "Token request cannot be made without authorization code or refresh token.",
"subError": "",
"name": "ClientAuthError"
Does anybody know what is going on here?
The sample code works well: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-node/
When using auth code flow, we need to get authorization code with getAuthCodeUrl() first, then obtain the access token with the authorization code by acquireTokenByCode(). You may miss getting authorization code, please check yours.
Notes:
Set Supported account types as "Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts". If not, change 'common' in authority with your tenant-id.
redirectUri in the sample code needs to be the same as Redirect URI in the portal.
I'm trying to request the contents of a Google doc (that I own) using the Google Docs API and the contents would be read to a website. I'm making the following request in Postman:
GET https://docs.googleapis.com/v1/documents/{documentId}?key=API_KEY
where the API_KEY is a key created in Google developer dashboard and is not restricted for now. However, I'm getting the following error:
{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
}
I have made the doc public (read-access without signing in) and enabled the Docs API in the Google developer dashboard. Further, the dashboard is registering these (failing) requests, so something is going through.The answer is probably in the error message, but to me "or other valid authentication credential" means the API key that I'm already using.
I'm asking for advice on how to make this request successfully without needing to use OAuth or server-side code.
I found a workaround answer to my problem, although it didn't solve the problem with the Docs API. I decided to request the text data from a Google Sheet instead, which works fine with
GET https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/documentId?key=API_KEY
when the sheet is public and read-only.
Yes you can open the doc programatically using a service account. You need to "share" the doc with the service account email.

Good day!
We need a calendar facility for the project that we're working in right now. For some reason, we are limited to using the Office 365 calendar or the outlook calendar. We stumbled upon the Microsoft Graph APIs which seems to be the right tool to fulfill what we want to do. So the idea is to create a Microsoft account which will be used as the main calendar where our wrapper(wrap the microsoft graph API calls) API can pull events from and eventually disseminate to client requests.
So here is what we've done so far:
Created a Microsoft account with the domain of #outlook.com
Plotted some calendar events using the said Microsoft account
Tried to follow this guide from the Microsoft site.
We agreed to create a wrapper API which will call the Microsoft Graph APIs but before this we tried to access the said APIs via postman. The problem is that postman cannot get any response from the endpoint of the /authorize API which is need to gain an access token to finally call the respective Microsoft graph APIs.
Now we do not know if we are trying to attack this wrongly or whatever. Do you have any idea what we are missing here? Thanks in advance and I hope someone can shed light in this matter.
UPDATE:
We were able to have some progress. After some time, we bumped in the azure active directory portal. We are now able to get an access token using this URL.
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<directory-id>/oauth2/token
Now when we are accessing the actual MS Graph API endpoint that we are supposed to call, we are receiving a 401 Unauthorized response even though we are using the obtained token from the previous API call. This is the URL that we are trying to get a response:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendar/calendarView?startDateTime=2018-08-01T00:00:00.0000000&endDateTime=2018-08-31T23:59:59.0000000
This is all being done via postman first.
UPDATE:
We tried to grant every permission possible in the Azure Active Directory portal and confirmed the consent at
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<domain>.onmicrosoft.com/adminconsent?client_id=<client-id>
but unfortunately we're still hitting the 401 Unauthorized wall. In Microsoft Graph Explorer, everything is working fine. So what could be missing in our postman implementation that MS Graph Explorer is doing implicitly? Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE
After further reading, we've found out some important details. First, we've found out that there are two sets of APIs from Microsoft. One is the Azure Active Directory API and the other is the Microsoft Graph API. Both APIs use the same URL to get access tokens by using client credentials. Below is the URL:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<directory-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token
Substitute the with your personal data from azure portal. Using this URL to get an access token, you need to supply some data in the request body.
client_id - client id of registered application in azure portal
client_secret - secret key of registered application in azure portal
grant_type - 'client_credentials' --> meaning you'll get an access token by using client credentials
scope - 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' or 'https://graph.windows.net/.default' --> this controls which API are you going to access. The first one is to access Microsoft Graph API and the other is to access Azure Active Directory API.
We are now able to get an access token and use it to access the actual API that we need. Below is the URL of the said API:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<azure-tenant-name>.onmicrosoft.com/calendar/calendarView?startDateTime=2018-08-01T00:00:00.0000000&endDateTime=2018-08-31T23:59:59.0000000
Notice that the URL does not use /me because upon reading using it required a signed in user. Unfortunately we are still getting the 401 Unauthorized error but the errors did change now. We are getting to errors intermittently. Sometimes the API call would return one or the other alternately. Below are the return of the API calls.
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidTenant",
"message": "The tenant for tenant guid '<directory-id-goes-here>' does not exist.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "<some-request-id>",
"date": "2018-08-22T04:29:27"
}
}
}
{
"error": {
"code": "UnknownError",
"message": "",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "<some-request-id>",
"date": "2018-08-22T04:54:11"
}
}
}
We feel we've moved a step forward. We're still not getting what we need though. Now the mystery are these 2 API call responses. What could be the reason of this? Thanks in advance for anybody's help
UPDATE
Upon even further reading we've discovered that there are authentication flows to get an access token. Depending on the API that you want to call, some authentication flows will not work on it because they need more details and security to execute themselves. So we've tried:
Client Credential Grant
Resource Owner Credential Grant
Authorize Code Grant
But still, unfortunately, we are still stuck in the previous error. We are getting 401 Unauthorized and the response payload is either InvalidTenant or UnknownError.
I just went through a similar problem yesterday, the 401 Unauthorized error.
I was trying to access the calendar of an employee via Microsoft's Graph API, but I was receiving the same response as you.
Resquest:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/employee-email/calendarview?startdatetime=2018-10-21T00:00:00Z&enddatetime=2018-10-27T23:59:59Z&$select=subject,categories,start,end,sensitivity
Response:
{
"error": {
"code": "UnknownError",
"message": "",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "<request-id>",
"date": "<date>"
}
}
}
Then I decided to check if had the Office 365. He didn't. I'm just a developer, so I ask the guys from infrastructure to install Office 365 on the empleyee's machine, or add him to an enterprice account, or something like that.
After they finished, the requests to his calendar worked just fine :)
I have searched with the error which I found, Did not find any matching questions. So posting question. Appreciate if some one provides some pointers to proceed.
My goal is to access graph API in my desktop client. I have started using fiddler to experiment.
I have followed instructions provided at https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/authorization/app_only
registered Web APP using Application Registration portal using my Microsoft work account.
Provided 'Read all users' full profiles in Delegated permissions
Requested token and Used the token in Authorization header to call the graph API, Getting following error.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users
119
{
"error": {
"code": "Authorization_IdentityNotFound",
"message": "The identity of the calling application could not be established.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "4c3a7bc6-e3d8-453c-adc9-5a12fec3b0ee",
"date": "2016-05-11T00:46:23"
}
}
}
In my case, I got the same error after I used Quickstart (step 1), then configured automatically .net sample (step 2), then download the code sample (step 3) as shown in the picture below.
All steps was done successfully except step 3. Microsoft code generate, generate app id, and app secret in project successfully but the tenant was set to common in appsetting.json as seen in image below.
I thought it was a valid thing, but later found out that this caused the issue.
Solution:
I copied the Directory (tenant) ID, than replace common with tenant Id, and it worked. I am not sure if this is a bug in Azure Quickstart code generation.
This sample helped me understand the flows around app-only permissions.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/tsmatsuz/2016/10/07/application-permission-with-v2-endpoint-and-microsoft-graph/
Key takeaways for me:
Ensure you set up the app and specify the Application Permissions needed
Do have an admin grant the app permission to run against the relevant directory.
Get the relevant token:
Notice the scope in the request below is https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantname}.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=6abf3364-0a60-4603-8276-e9abb0d843d6&client_secret=JfgrNM9CcW...&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.microsoft.com%2F.default
Use the token to request the relevant graph resource, eg:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/demouser01#[tenant-name].onmicrosoft.com/drive/root/children
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOi
For me, I had not given admin consent. This is a critical step. My mistake was in thinking that by granting the app permissions, this was giving admin consent, but its not the same thing.
From step 3 on this site: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/auth_v2_service
I just pasted their call into a browser after filling in the tenant and client id, then signed in, and everything worked.
GET https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/adminconsent
?client_id=6731de76-14a6-49ae-97bc-6eba6914391e
&state=12345
&redirect_uri=http://localhost/myapp/permissions
while generating new access token, make sure to replace tenant_id with the actual tenant id
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token
You'll find that this document is a better set of instructions for app-only apps.
There are two issues from your description that stand out.
You'll need to make the call with an X509 certificate for app-only flows.
You need to set up app scopes, rather than delegated scopes on your app - delegated scopes are for delegate flows rather than app-only flows.
