I'm trying to check that Twilio object was properly instantiated, but it doesn't work
I do
try {
$twilioObj = new Client($sid, $token);
}
catch (Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
^ Regardless if the tokens are valid or not it never results in an error. I noticed that it always generated an object.. So even if I put some random token, I still get an object back.
What is the best way of catching this?
I did is as per documentation: https://www.twilio.com/docs/libraries/php/usage-guide#exceptions but it doesn't work.
The Twilio Client object doesn't know at the time of instantiation whether the credentials you have provided it are valid or not, so it cannot throw an error at that point.
If the credentials are not valid, the client will throw an error when you use it to make a request to the API. You should catch the error there.
As per the documentation, instantiating a Client without a username or password will throw a ConfigurationException.

Any endpoint for sending messages to specific users in Teams via the Graph API?
(Edited because of clarity and added Custom-Requests)
You can send messages via Graph API to private users BUT there is a problem that you can't create a new chat between two users via the Graph API. This means that if you want to send a message from a user to a user, the chat must already exist. (Messages must first have been exchanged via the MSTeams client for a chat to exist)
So make sure that you have a open chat!
If so, have a look at this MSDoc (This document explains how you can list chats from a user):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chat-list?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http
After you have all your chats listed, you can have a look at this MSDoc (This document explains how you can send a message to a user):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chat-post-messages?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http
Pay attention to the permissions! For sending messages and listing chats there are only delegated permissions so far AND these calls are only available in BETA, so be carefull with it.
I can only provide you Java code for an example.
(For everything I do I use ScribeJava to get an Auth-Token)
For delegated permissions you need to have a "User-Auth-Token". That means you have to use a Password-Credential-Grant like this:
private void _initOAuth2Service()
{
oAuth2Service = new ServiceBuilder(clientId)
.apiSecret(clientSecret)
.defaultScope(GRAPH_SCOPE)
.build(MicrosoftAzureActiveDirectory20Api.custom(tenantId));
//PASSWORD CREDENTIALS FLOW
try
{
oAuth2Token = oAuth2Service.getAccessTokenPasswordGrant(username, password);
}
catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
catch (ExecutionException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
username and password are the credentials from the user you want to send a message (sender).
Initial situation
This is my TeamsClient:
ScribeJava
Get all open chats
("me" in the URL is the user from above (sender).)
private Response _executeGetRequest()
{
final OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.GET, "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats");
oAuth2Service.signRequest(oAuth2Token, request);
return oAuth2Service.execute(request);
}
The response I get from this request looks like this:
{"#odata.context":"https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#chats","value":[{"id":"{PartOfTheID}_{firstHalfOfUserID}-e52a55572b49#unq.gbl.spaces","topic":null,"createdDateTime":"2020-04-25T09:22:19.86Z","lastUpdatedDateTime":"2020-04-25T09:22:20.46Z"},{"id":"{secondUserChatID}#unq.gbl.spaces","topic":null,"createdDateTime":"2020-03-27T08:19:29.257Z","lastUpdatedDateTime":"2020-03-27T08:19:30.255Z"}]}
You can see that I have two open chats and get two entries back from the request.
Get the right conversatonID
You have to know that the id can be split in three sections. {JustAPartOfTheId}_{userId}#{EndOfTheId}. The {userId} is the id from your chatpartner (recipient).
This is a GraphExplorer response which gives me all users and all informations about them.
Now you can see that the first ID:
"id":"{PartOfTheID}_{firstHalfOfUserID}-e52a55572b49#unq.gbl.spaces"
matches the UserID after the "_".
You can split the ID at the "_" filter and find the ID you need.
Send Message to user
Now you know the right Id and can send a new request for the message like this:
final OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST, "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/chats/{PartOfTheID}_{firstHalfOfUserID}-e52a55572b49#unq.gbl.spaces/messages");
oAuth2Service.signRequest(oAuth2Token, request);
request.addHeader("Accept", "application/json, text/plain, */*");
request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
request.setPayload("{\"body\":{\"content\":\" " + "Hi Hi Daniel Adu-Djan" + "\"}}");
oAuth2Service.execute(request);
GraphAPI-Custom-Requests
In the Graph-SDK is no opportunity to use the beta endpoint except for Custom-Requests. (For these requests I also use ScribeJava to get an Auth-Token)
Set the BETA-Endpoint
When you want to use the BETA-Endpoint you have to use the setEndpoint() function like this:
IGraphServiceClient graphUserClient = _initGraphServiceUserClient();
//Set Beta-Endpoint
graphUserClient.setServiceRoot("https://graph.microsoft.com/beta");
Get all chats
try
{
JsonObject allChats = graphUserClient.customRequest("/me/chats").buildRequest().get();
}
catch(ClientException ex) { ex.printStacktrace(); }
Same response like above
Same situation with the userId => split and filter
Send message
IGraphServiceClient graphUserClient = _initGraphServiceUserClient();
//Set Beta-Endpoint again
graphUserClient.setServiceRoot("https://graph.microsoft.com/beta");
try
{
JsonObject allChats = graphUserClient.customRequest("/chats/{PartOfTheID}_{firstHalfOfUserID}-e52a55572b49#unq.gbl.spaces/messages").buildRequest().post({yourMessageAsJsonObject});
}
catch(ClientException ex) { ex.printStacktrace();
}
Here is a little GIF where you can see that I didn't type anything. I just started my little application and it sends messages automatically.
I hope this helps you. Feel free to comment if you don't understand something! :)
Best regards!

I am using the following code to send email for the logged in user.
await _graphClient.Me.SendMail(email, true).Request().PostAsync();
Initially it was executing be no email was sent. After poking around I figured out that a permission was not set. Unfortunately the try..catch around it was not tripped. My questions is if there is a way of detecting that an error occurred with this call.
Regarding
Unfortunately the try..catch around it was not tripped.
PostAsync() method should throw a ServiceException on error.
For example, in case of missing permissions:
try
{
await graphClient.Users[userId].SendMail(message).Request().PostAsync();
}
catch (Microsoft.Graph.ServiceException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Error);
}
the following error should be printed:
Code: ErrorAccessDenied
Message: Access is denied. Check credentials and try again.
I am trying to get direct messages working in my app. I'm able to POST DMs just fine, but when I try to GET them from the endpoint https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages.json it returns a 401 - Unauthorized. I don't really understand how I can be authorized to send DMs but not get ones sent to me.
Here's how I'm authenticating initially:
if Twitter.sharedInstance().sessionStore.session() == nil {
Twitter.sharedInstance().logInWithCompletion { session, error in
if (session != nil) {
// successfully logged in, call loading functions
} else {
print("error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
}
}
} else {
// already logged in, call loading functions
}
Every time I make a request using the REST API, it begins with
if let userID = Twitter.sharedInstance().sessionStore.session()?.userID {
let client = TWTRAPIClient(userID: userID)
The client is initialised the same way in both the POST and GET requests for DMs, yet the GET request fails.
As far as permissions go, I've checked that it has read/write/DM access according to Twitter, and successful requests return "x-access-level" = "read-write-directmessages";, so I think it's set properly.
I was concerned at one point that I might not be authenticating properly, since Twitter's documentation goes through the 3 step process for O-Auth and all I'm doing is telling the Twitter singleton to just log in... but I rationalised that away by assuming that those steps are all carried out in the logInWithCompletion function. And besides, if I wasn't authenticated properly I surely wouldn't be able to send DMs, right?
Any ideas on how I can fix this? I'm quite new so it may be something nice and simple! I've looked through some other questions, but they all seem to code the requests in full rather than using built-in methods like these - or have I got it all wrong?
Yeah, it was a stupid problem - I left the parameters blank since they are all marked as 'optional' - as in, a dictionary of ["" : ""]. I just set the paramaters in the request to nil, and now it works.
Overview:
I am working on a VB.NET application that places a call into Twilio, the number is not a test number. I am using the C# library with the code written in VB.Net.
When I use this line of code:
Console.WriteLine(account.SendSmsMessage(Caller, to1, strBody))
I receive a text message on my phone however the post back is never posted to my website. I have included the URL of the site on the account under Messaging > Request URL.
When I reply to the message, Twilio does make a post to my site. From what I understand, a POST should have been made when Twilio was first sent a message from my application, however this is not the case.
When using this code, I do not get any text message and no POST is made.
Console.WriteLine(account.SendMessage(Caller, to1, strBody, PostBackURL))
I have tried SendSMSMessage, I have tried it with the URL on my account and without it,
nothing seems to effect the behavior.
I need the SmsMessageSid at the time the message is sent. From everything I have seen, Twilio does not provide a response other then what is sent to the PostBackURL, I could parse a response for the
SmsMessageSid however since there is no response that is not an option. If I am mistaken on that point that would be great, however it looks like the only way to get a reply is with the post back URL. Thanks for your help with this! Below you will find an excerpt of the code I am working with:
PostBackURL = "http%3A%2F%2F173.111.111.110%3A8001/XMLResponse.aspx"
' Create Twilio REST account object using Twilio account ID and token
account = New Twilio.TwilioRestClient(SID, Token)
message = New Twilio.Message
Try
'WORKS
'Console.WriteLine(account.SendSmsMessage(Caller, to1, strBody))
'DOES NOT WORK
Console.WriteLine(account.SendMessage(Caller, to1, strBody, PostBackURL))
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: {0}", e.Message)
End Try
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue")
Console.ReadKey()
I'm doing something similar with C# and like you, I'm not getting the POST to the callback URL. I don't know why that's not working, but if all you need is the sid when you send the message, you should be able to do this:
message = SendSmsMessage(Caller, to1, strBody))
and message.Sid will give you what you need, assuming no exceptions.
I am wondering if anyone knows a clean programmatic way of detecting a 401 response with the analytics API. I know the underlying HTTP transport probably has it but when the call is made via Analytics object the only indicator of failure is an IOException (which could indicate an error of any type). If there was some way to get at the JSON response that gets shown in the stack trace you could check there maybe, but right now the only thing I can think of is to parse the e.getMessage() string. Example:
GaData gadata = null;
try {
gaData = analytics.data().ga().get(
"ga:" + profileId,
"2012-06-01",
"2012-06-30",
"ga:visits")
.execute();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
if (ioe.contains("401")) {
System.out.println("A 401 occurred.");
}
}
The reason for isolating this case is because it indicates that the access token has expired, so an alternate solution would be a better way for checking if the access token has expired. If this can be done then the code can make a call using the API key to grant a new access token.
The documentation says that the GoogleJsonResponseException will be thrown. GoogleJsonResponseException.getDetails() returns a GoogleJsonError. The GoogleJsonError.code method will return the error code (in this case the HTTP 401 ERROR).
