I need to trigger Twilio Flow Rest API via a webhook that freshdesk have on the automation feature.
Twilio Flow
I configure the automation with webhook service: https://webhook.site and i received the data.
Freshdesk Automation Webhook configuration
When I use POSTMAN to trigger the flow it works perfectly.
POSTMAN TWILIO
Based on your screenshots, you are sending the data differently to Twilio with each approach.
The Freshdesk example is sending application/json but Postman (which you indicated works) is using form-data.Try selecting X-FORM-URLENCODED on the Freshdesk side.
Creating or Updating Resources with the HTTP POST and PUT Methods
"Creating or updating a resource involves performing an HTTP PUT or HTTP POST to a resource URI. In the PUT or POST, you represent the properties of the object you wish to update as form urlencoded key/value pairs. Don't worry, this is already the way browsers encode POSTs by default. But be sure to set the HTTP Content-Type header to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" for your requests if you are writing your own client."

I have referred to the standard Twilio example to make a call from the browser, I was able to implement calling.
const call = await device.connect({ params });
where params are the body of the post request, But is there any way where we can attach a header to this post request?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Using the SDK to start a call isn't an HTTP request. It results in a webhook request from Twilio to your application, but that is different to the initial request from the SDK. You can use the SDK to pass POST request parameters as you have seen, but you cannot pass headers.
If you are trying to pass an Authorization header, then I assume you are trying to ensure that only requests from Twilio are accepted by your application. There's already a way to do this.
Twilio sends an X-Twilio-Signature header with each webhook request. The signature is made up of the contents of the request signed with your Twilio auth token. You can read how this works in depth here.
Alternatively, you can add username:password# to the start of the webhook URL and Twilio will authenticate via HTTP authentication.
I'm trying to use the Postman REST Client to test the Quizlet API. Postman has a feature to do OAuth 2.0 for you. However, the Quizlet API requires a state parameter:
A random string generated by you. You send us this, and we'll send it back to you, and you verify that we send back the same thing you sent. You must send and verify this value in order to prevent CSRF attacks.
The default Postman helper does not have the ability to send more in the POST (as far as I know). Is there a known way to send the extra payload, or get around this (whether in Postman or the Quizlet API?)
Thanks in advance!
Steps:
From the docs at https://developer.surveymonkey.net/api/v3/#webhooks and trying out the feature I understand that webhooks first do a HEAD and then POST call to my webhook receiver public API.
Does the webhook POST callback to my receiver API require a response from it??
Many webhooks pay attention to responses and re-send requests if the application errors out. Just wanted to understand how SurveyMonkey deals with responses.
Perhaps this should be specified in the documentation, but no, SurveyMonkey doesn't expect a response, as in it doesn't expect any particular body returned to us.
That said it does expect you to return a 2xx HTTP status code (which is usually automatically handled by any web server framework you use).
I am simulating an app where json requests are sent at the back. Now i have to add oauth support. I don't know how to move forward. Is the oauth token sent with the same json request?
Yes and no.. an oauth token is sent in the HTTP headers. So, ti's not in the json payload, but it is sent in the same HTTP request.
HOwever, before sending it, you have to accomplish some steps dictated by the standard, to exchange the proper token(s) (access and/or request)
Look at this good tutorial http://hueniverse.com/oauth/guide/ to understand the process more in depth. It even has an interactive part where you can dynamically change the parameters and see the headers and messages you should generate and exchange.
I'm trying to make a GET request to the Asana API from the browser. Because this is a cross-domain request, the client first sends an OPTIONS request. I'm running into the same issue that was described in this Stack Overflow question a year ago, ASANA API and Access-Control-* headers, where the Asana API doesn't respond with the Access-Control parameters.
I'm wondering whether the new release of the Asana Connect and OAuth2 addresses this problem and I'm simply doing something wrong or if this is still unsupported.
(I work at Asana.) Sorry, looks like this slipped through the cracks.
We currently do not allow Cross-Origin requests. However, we do support JSONP if you use Oauth2 and authenticate with a bearer token. This allows you to make secure requests from a JS client.
Just append opt_jsonp=CALLBACK as a parameter to the request, where CALLBACK is the name of the javascript function you would like to be called back with the response data.
