I'm trying to use reddit api to login with a bot using node.js and request.js. I've managed to figure out that I need both the modhash and the session cookie that are returned from the /api/login request. I have accessed both with the following code:
request.post({
uri: 'http://www.reddit.com/api/login',
json: true,
headers: agentheader,
qs : logincreds
},function(err,response,body){
if(err){
throw err;
} else {
if(response.statusCode == 200){
mhash = body.json.data.modhash;
session_cookie = body.json.data.cookie;
console.log(body.json.data.cookie);
console.log("login OK, modhash: "+mhash);
console.log("Session cookie: "+session_cookie);
agentheader = {
'user-agent': 'base10bot made by /u/01011110',
'X-Modhash' : mhash,
'Cookie' : 'reddit_session='+session_cookie
};
...
and in that last bit I set the custom headers with the modhash and the cookie in the way that someone on /r/redditdev told me it should be done. The session cookie doesn't work at all without the "reddit_session=" part, but with it everything I do returns a 403 forbidden.
I'm pretty sure the "cookie" is formatted wrong because when I log it, it shows up as a numerical id, a time-stamp, and a hash all comma delimited. Can someone help me figure out the right way to send this cookie header? Everything I find on google is either using python requests or bash.
I guess you are not parsing body as JSON. Try this -
data = JSON.parse(body);
session_cookie = data.json.data.cookie;

I am trying to send the token in the headers of an HTTP request from backend to the frontend along with sending my own defined string. However, I am getting an issue. The token is being printed as null on the client-side. I don't know why:
Here's my code:
Node/Express
if (bcrypt.compareSync(passcode, results[0].password))
{
const token = jwt.sign({id: email}, secret, {expiresIn: 86400 });
console.log(token);
if(results[0].userrights == 'full')
{
res.setHeader('x-access-token', token);
res.send("Full Authorization");
}
//rest of the code
}
Angular
this.http.post('http://localhost:3000/api/login', form.value, {responseType: "text", observe:
'response'})
.subscribe(responseData => {
console.log(responseData);
console.log(responseData.headers.get('x-access-token')); //prints null on the console
I have searched quite a bit and found different examples which is making it very confusing. I don't want to use response status rather my own defined string. I have tried different things to print the variable but it still is throwing as null.
If you are using a browser extension to allow CORS requests then Access-Control-Expose-Headers should be added to the headers on server side. Please try adding the following line: res.setHeader('Access-Control-Expose-Headers', '*')

Beginner question, I am using the fetch API in one of my Cloudflare Service Worker to send request to a third party; Everything works fine that I am able to send out the request and receive response; But now I have a need to log everything I sent and received, which I am not sure how exactly can I do so;
The main requirement:
Able to log the whole request header being sent
The problem is that the request header that I specified is not the full header being sent, like in the following example I only specified the content-type, but in real practice it will send with more properties added by the application itself, e.g. accept, x-forwarded-for, content-length, etc.
Request:
var toThirdPartyReqMethod = 'POST';
var toThirdPartyReqHeader = {'content-type': 'application/json'};
var toThirdPartyReqSetting = {
method: toThirdPartyReqMethod,
headers: toThirdPartyReqHeader,
body: toThirdPartyReqBodyArrayBuffer
};
var toThirdPartyUrl = "https://somewhere.com";
var fromThirdPartyResponse = await fetch(toThirdPartyUrl, toThirdPartyReqSetting)
var fromThirdPartyResponseBodyArrayBuffer = await fromThirdPartyResponse.arrayBuffer();
I am able to use fromThirdPartyResponse to digest the response; but I have no idea how to record the exact request I sent out.
I tried to do it as follows:
var oriReqHeaderContentType = fromThirdPartyResponse.request.headers.get("content-type");
But obviously it is not the right answer and returned with the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'headers' of undefined
Anyone gets some idea of how to log the request being sent when using fetch API?
Sorry for asking beginner questions :(
You can access request headers like this
const contentType = req.get("Content-Type");
I'm still new enough with Node that HTTP requests trip me up. I have checked all the answers to similar questions but none seem to address my issue.
I have been dealt a hand in the Wild of having to go after JSON files in an API. I then parse those JSON files to separate them out into rows that populate a SQL database. The API has one JSON file with an ID of 'keys.json' that looks like this:
{
"keys":["5sM5YLnnNMN_1540338527220.json","5sM5YLnnNMN_1540389571029.json","6tN6ZMooONO_1540389269289.json"]
}
Each array element in the keys property holds the value of one of the JSON data files in the API.
I am having problems getting either type of file returned to me, but I figure if I can learn what is wrong with the way I am trying to get 'keys.json', I can leverage that knowledge to get the individual JSON data files represented in the keys array.
I am using the npm modules 'request' and 'request-promise-native' as follows:
const request = require('request');
const rp = require('request-promise-native');
My URL is constructed with the following elements, as follows (I have used the ... to keep my client anonymous, but other than that it is a direct copy:
let baseURL = 'http://localhost:3000/Users/doug5solas/sandbox/.../server/.quizzes/'; // this is the development value only
let keysID = 'keys.json';
Clearly the localhost aspect will have to go away when we deploy but I am just testing now.
Here is my HTTP call:
let options = {
method: 'GET',
uri: baseURL + keysID,
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'Request-Promise'
},
json: true // Automatically parses the JSON string in the response
};
rp(options)
.then(function (res) {
jsonKeysList = res.keys;
console.log('Fetched', jsonKeysList);
})
.catch(function (err) {
// API call failed
let errMessage = err.options.uri + ' ' + err.statusCode + ' Not Found';
console.log(errMessage);
return errMessage;
});
Here is my console output:
http://localhost:3000/Users/doug5solas/sandbox/.../server/.quizzes/keys.json 404 Not Found
It is clear to me that the .catch() clause is being taken and not the .then() clause. But I do not know why that is because the data is there at that spot. I know it is because I placed it there manually.
Thanks to #Kevin B for the tip regarding serving of static files. I revamped the logic using express.static and served the file using that capability and everything worked as expected.
Objective:
Te get the response.headers when I get the status code as 302 from redirects uri response
Issue:
I did a bit of googling about an issue which i'm facing at my end about the Redirect URL returning 500 rather than the expected 302. I found the npm request() can be used for redirects. However I'm not able to get the response headers as it always returns 500. But when I used the API end points manually with Postman (with interceptors turned ON) along with body and headers, I was able to get 302 redirects. This is essentially used for Automation testing for API
request(
url: 'https://blah/blah',
client_id:'something.com.au'
redirect_uri:'http://something' // used for mobile app and so it is OK to be have a valid url
response_type :'code'
scope : 'ALLAPI',
Username : 'cxxx'
Password : 'ccxcxc'
headers : {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'followRedirect' : true
}, function (error, response) {
console.log('The response val is', response.statusCode);
});
Question:
Not sure if npm request can do the justice or Am I using request in-correctly or should I have to use axios/follow-redirects etc.. something like that. Please advise. If anyone can provide proper directions on this, it'll be really helpful
Thanks,
Brad
I met the same problem, needle works for me.
var needle = require('needle'),
url = 'https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=GBE03831USEN&';;
needle.get(url, {follow_max: 5}, function(error, res) {
console.log(res.statusCode);
});
#all. I've resolved using form property but with using req.post() method which returned the statuscode as 302 with response headers. Thanks all once again.
I need to make a request to a site which has HT Access enable. The str below has the username:password
Below is the code I am using
var str='msft:sks*';
var bytes = Crypto.charenc.Binary.stringToBytes(str);
var base64 = Crypto.util.bytesToBase64(bytes);
var auth='BASIC '+base64;
$.ajax({
url : 'http://mft.sta.com/',
method : 'GET',
async:false,
beforeSend : function(req,settings) {
req.setRequestHeader('Authorization', auth);
}
});
I am getting 401 authentication required error in FireBug.
But when i tried in POSTER plugin I am able to get the response. I copied the value of 'auth' in the above function and set it in the requester header for the key 'Authorization' in POSTER and it is working like a charm. But failing in Firefox or IE.
Any possible solution or workarounds.
Thanks in Advance.
