Create POST Request with Postman - post

This curl is working fine and returns the token as expected:
curl -X POST -H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{ "username": "pere.peris#gmail.com","password": "password" }' "http://75.90.255.68:1133/canPeris/auth"
But when I do the same call using Postman app I get a 401 Unauthorized as a return value


You should add the missing JSON inside the Body . click Raw combo box and add
{ "username": "pere.peris#gmail.com","password": "password" }


You can use the function in Postman to generate curl:
https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/sending_api_requests/generate_code_snippets
On the right side under "Send" and "Save" just hit the Code Button/Link. Then select in the next window in the drop down cURL. So you see what cURL would be generated and compare it with the command line.
The -d option is described here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-d

watson machine learning api - token refresh 400 error

I've successfully generated a token with the GET /v3/identity/token API. I now want to be able to leverage the PUT API to keep the token active.
I am trying this curl command:
curl -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '<token-value>' 'https://ibm-watson-ml.mybluemix.net/v3/identity/token' -v -i --basic --user <username>:<password>
I get a 400 error stating:
For request 'PUT /v3/identity/token' [Invalid Json: Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign, for valid numeric value at [Source: akka.util.ByteIterator$ByteArrayIterator$$anon$1#18bd12ef; line: 1, column: 3]]
The token returned from the get request has the dash character in it, along with other non-alphnumeric values.
Does the token from the get request need to be parsed? what am I missing?

You need to set your content-type to application/json. But -d sends the Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which maybe is not accepted on IBM side.
But, seems like your JSON (token) are in the incorrect format.
The token value needs to be the following format (JSON):
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.TJVA95OrM7E2cBab30RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ"
}
And you need to follow the example of sent correctly the format:
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT \
-d '{"token":"yourToken"}' \

Update a page in Confluence using REST API

This is what I've currently got and it creates a new Confluence page. It doesn't update it. Also it posts it in the root space, TST, but I want it to be in TST/space1/subsection2/updateThisPage.
curl -v -u admin:admin -X POST -H Content-Type: application/json -d "{\"id\":\"123456\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"TST\",\"title\":\"updateThisPage\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":3}}" http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content?spaceKey=TST&title=updateThisPage
This is the error message I get
{"statusCode":400,"message":"A page with this title already exists: A page already exists with the title new page in the space with key TST"}
Would it be a permissions error? I know I do not have access to delete.

Use request /rest/api/content/{id}.
This worked for me.
curl -u admin:admin -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"id\":\"26738701\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"RO\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>UPDATE This is a new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":2}}" http://localost:10080/rest/api/content/26738701
JSON Payload:
{
"id":"26738701",
"type":"page",
"title":"new page",
"space":{
"key":"RO"
},
"body":{
"storage":{
"value":"<p>UPDATE This is a new page</p>",
"representation":"storage"
}
},
"version":{
"number":2
}
}
Don't forget to use:
content ID in data part
version number in data part
PUT request
content ID in request

Try to use PUT instead of POST.
curl -v -u admin:admin -X PUT -H Content-Type: application/json -d "{\"id\":\"123456\",\"type\":\"page\",\"title\":\"new page\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"TST\",\"title\":\"updateThisPage\"},\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>\",\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":3}}" http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content?spaceKey=TST&title=updateThisPage

curl POST request empty in ZF2 Rest API

I am testing my ZF2 Rest Module that is running on localhost, by sending curl POST requests from the same box.
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: Application/json" -d '{username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost/api/login
In the corresponding controller and action, I have tried returning the POST parameters, but an empty array is returned always
var_dump($this->getRequest()); // returns: array(0){}
var_dump($_POST); // returns: array(0){}
If I switch from POST to GET with
curl -i -G -H "Content-Type: Application/json" -d '{username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost/api/login
it actually seems to work
var_dump($_GET); // returns: array(1) {["{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}"]=>string(0) ""}
Why is the POST request failing to pass/extract the parameters?

PHP only populates $_POST for form urlencoded POST data. You've explicitly set the content type to JSON, so the PHP way to access this would be:
file_get_contents("php://input");
In ZF2, I believe you want:
$this->getRequest()->getContent();
and in practice, you'll probably want to run this through json_decode().

curl - request with json object and file to Rails API

I need post file and JSON object to API (Ruby On Rails) by curl in one request.
My request looks like this:
curl --data #file.pdf -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -X POST -d '{"document":{"name":"file name"}}' http://localhost:3000/api/documents
But Rails parse it bad. Params on the server:
Parameters: {"{\"document\":{\"name\":\"file name\"}}"=>nil}
Where is problem?

You should pass multipart/form-data (as you specify), not a JSON string. Try this:
-d 'document[name]=file name'
Result on my machine:
Parameters: {"document"=>{"name"=>"file name"}}

post file using ruby curl easy.http_put (data)

I have a task to send a file using HTTP PUT in ruby.
In Command prompt i am able to get success response using the following command.
curl -X PUT -vN https://myexample.com/blah/myaccount --insecure -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Content-Type: audio/wav" -H "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" -d #/myfile.wav
While trying to send the request using Curl::Easy in ruby. I get a error response code stating something wrong with audio.
c = Curl::Easy.new("https://myexample.com/blah/myaccount")
c.timeout = 30
c.ssl_verify_host = false
c.http_put ( "Content-Transfer-Encoding=base64;Connection=keep-alive;Content-Type=audio%2fwav;#{File.read(/myfile.wav)}")
