How to get the correct proxy URL in Apigee? - url

In my Apigee API Proxy, I need to get the environment URL that is defined in my configuration, so that I can send it as part of the response.
For example: http://myorg-test.apigee.net/pricing
However, when I try to get it using proxy.url, I get an aliased path, like http://rrt18apigee.us-ea.4.apigee.com/pricing
Currently, I'm trying to get it like:
var response = {
proxyUrl : context.getVariable("proxy.url"),
};

Here is a work around. You can try to get the following variables and create the entire URL
Get the request scheme (http or https) from request.Headers.X-Forwarded-Proto (if you are using cloud version) or client.scheme if you are using on-prem
Get the host name from request.host
Get the entire request path from request.path
Entire list of URL query params and list from message.querystring
You can then construct the entire request URL.
( I know this should not be this painful. Please log a bug in case proxy.url is really broken. )

FastAPI RedirectResponse gets {"message": "Forbidden"} when redirecting to a different route

Please bare with me for a question for which it's nearly impossible to create a reproducible example.
I have an API setup with FastAPI using Docker, Serverless and deployed on AWS API Gateway. All routes discussed are protected with an api-key that is passed into the header (x-api-key).
I'm trying to accomplish a simple redirect from one route to another using fastapi.responses.RedirectResponse. The redirect works perfectly fine locally (though, this is without api-key), and both routes work perfectly fine when deployed on AWS and connected to directly, but something is blocking the redirect from route one (abc/item) to route two (xyz/item) when I deploy to AWS. I'm not sure what could be the issue, because the logs in CloudWatch aren't giving me much to work with.
To illustrate my issue let's say we have route abc/item that looks like this:
#router.get("/abc/item")
async def get_item(item_id: int, request: Request, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
if False:
redirect_url = f"/xyz/item?item_id={item_id}"
logging.info(f"Redirecting to {redirect_url}")
return RedirectResponse(redirect_url, headers=request.headers)
else:
execution = db.execute(text(items_query))
return convert_to_json(execution)
So, we check if some value is True/False and if it's False we redirect from abc/item to xyz/item using RedirectResponse(). We pass the redirect_url, which is just the xyz/item route including query parameters and we pass request.headers (as suggested here and here), because I figured we need to pass along the x-api-key to the new route. In the second route we again try a query in a different table (other_items) and return some value.
I have also tried passing status_code=status.HTTP_303_SEE_OTHER and status_code=status.HTTP_307_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT to RedirectResponse() as suggested by some tangentially related questions I found on StackOverflow and the FastAPI discussions, but that didn't help either.
#router.get("/xyz/item")
async def get_item(item_id: int, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
execution = db.execute(text(other_items_query))
return convert_to_json(execution)
Like I said, when deployed I can successfully connect directly to both abc/item and get a return value if True and I can also connect to xyz/item directly and get a correct value from that, but when I pass a value to abc/item that is False (and thus it should redirect) I get {"message": "Forbidden"}.
In case it can be of any help, I try debugging this using a "curl" tool, and the headers I get returned give the following info:
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 23
Connection: keep-alive
Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2022 08:43:06 GMT
x-amzn-RequestId: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
x-amzn-ErrorType: ForbiddenException
x-amz-apigw-id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X-Cache: Error from cloudfront
Via: 1.1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.cloudfront.net (CloudFront)
X-Amz-Cf-Pop: XXXXX
X-Amz-Cf-Id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So, this is hinting at a CloudFront error. Unfortunately I don't see anything slightly hinting at this API when I look into my CloudFront dashboard on AWS, there literally is nothing there (I do have permissions to view the contents though...)
The API logs in CloudWatch look like this:
2022-07-27T03:43:06.495-05:00 Redirecting to /xyz/item?item_id=1234...

I have been wondering if my issue could be related to something I need to add to somewhere in my serverless.yml, perhaps in the functions: part. That currently looks like this for these two routes:
events:
- http:
path: abc/item
method: get
cors: true
private: true
request:
parameters:
querystrings:
item_id: true
- http:
path: xyz/item
method: get
cors: true
private: true
request:
parameters:
querystrings:
item_id: true
Finally, it's probably good to note that I have added custom middleware to FastAPI to handle the two different database connections I need for connecting to other_items and items tables, though I'm not sure how relevant this is, considering this functions fine when redirecting locally. For this I implemented the solution found here. This custom middleware is the reason for the redirect in the first place (we change connection URI based on route with that middleware), so I figured it's good to share this bit of info as well.
Thanks!
As noted here and here, it is mpossible to redirect to a page with custom headers set. A redirection in the HTTP protocol doesn't support adding any headers to the target location. It is basically just a header in itself and only allows for a URL (a redirect response though could also include body content, if needed—see this answer). When you add the authorization header to the RedirectResponse, you only send that header back to the client.
A suggested here, you could use the set-cookie HTTP response header:
The Set-Cookie HTTP response header is used to send a cookie from the
server to the user agent (client), so that the user agent can send it back to
the server later.
In FastAPI—documentation can be found here and here—this can be done as follows:
from fastapi import Request
from fastapi.responses import RedirectResponse
#app.get("/abc/item")
def get_item(request: Request):
redirect_url = request.url_for('your_endpoints_function_name') #e.g., 'get_item'
response = RedirectResponse(redirect_url)
response.set_cookie(key="fakesession", value="fake-cookie-session-value", httponly=True)
return response
Inside the other endpoint, where you are redirecting the user to, you can extract that cookie to authenticate the user. The cookie can be found in request.cookies—which should return, for example, {'fakesession': 'fake-cookie-session-value-MANUAL'}—and you retrieve it using request.cookies.get('fakesession').
On a different note, request.url_for() function accepts only path parameters, not query parameters (such as item_id in your /abc/item and /xyz/item endpoints). Thus, you can either create the URL in the way you already do, or use the CustomURLProcessor suggested here, here and here, which allows you to pass both path and query parameters.
If the redirection takes place from one domain to another (e.g., from abc.com to xyz.com), please have a look at this answer.

AWS API Gateway issue for HTTP Method

I created an AWS API-gateway for an HTTP method PUT. When I do a test in API-gateway, that works fine, but when I call it from a REST client, I get 404 bad-request and missing authentication token errors. I didn't set any authorization to true or a required API key to true.
I passed these query parameters to a REST client:
auth_id : 8798iuyiu123123
time_stamp :1231231
test_json : [{"id"=>"1","value"=>"mount"},{"id"=>"2","value"=>"chart"}]
HEADER
content-type : application/json
When I change the test_json value to %5B%7B%22id%22:%221%22,%22value%22:%22test%22%7D,%7B%22id%22:%222%22,%22value%22:%2213+%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%, then I get the response.
i am new to react, calling from react
Request.put('https://api-gateway.sqwdwed123.com/eretw/update-chart')
.set('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.query({ auth_id: localStorage.auth_id})
.query({ time_stamp:this.props.time_stamp})
.query({ test_json:JSON.stringify(newadd)})
should i pass this test_json through body?
Am I doing anything wrong?
This is usually related to requesting a URL that doesn't exist. Please make sure you're using the correct HTTP method and resource path to a valid resource (the sample invoke URL does not include any resource path). If this still doesn't work. Make sure you actually deployed your API.
The HTTP Response of Bad Request is because you have the Query Parameter that are not URL Encoded. There are 2 things that you can do now:
Pass the test_json as Query Param but making sure that they are URL Encoded. This will put a restriction on the size of the string and hence Not Recommended.
Pass the test_json as Request Body. (Recommended)

No HTTP resource was found that matches the request

I tried to replace the Page content using Microsoft Graph like this:
MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
form.Add( some stream contents );
var formdatastream = form.ReadAsStreamAsync();
graphClient.Users[userPrincipalName]
.Onenote
.Pages[onenotepage.Id]
.Content
.Request()
.PutAsync<OnenotePage>(formdatastream);
It returns No HTTP resource was found that matches the request, which implies that it does not accept an HTTP PUT request.
Clearly, it is saying it accepts HTTP Patch so maybe the .Net library needs to be changed?
This is a known issue and is a result of a mismatch of the service definition and the service behavior.
If you search for 'onenoteupdatepage' in the OneNote SDK tests, you can see one possible workaround for how to replace an existing page.
To update the OneNote API, you need to trigger a PATCH request like so:
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages/{id}/content
{JSON PAYLOAD}
Perhaps that's not what the SDK is doing?

Desire2Learn Valence API | JSON not loading

I'm using the Python Requests library with the Valence-provided Python SDK to attempt to do a GET request. Something odd is happening with the URL and I'm not sure what. The response I get is 200 (which leads me to believe that the authentication is working), but when I try to print the JSON from the Request object, it instead prints the HTML of the page instead of the JSON.
I'm using modified code that I read from http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/clients/python/auth.html.
Here's the Python code:
import requests
import auth as d2lauth
from auth import *
app_creds = { 'app_id': '----', 'app_key': '----' }
ac = d2lauth.fashion_app_context(app_id=app_creds['app_id'], app_key=app_creds['app_key'])
auth_url = ac.create_url_for_authentication('ugatest2.view.usg.edu', 'http://localhost:8080')
redirect_url = "https://localhost:8080?x_a=3----&x_b=3dMRgCBAHXJDTA2E6DJIfdWq-gYl-pk77fF_3X5oDUuqc"
uc = ac.create_user_context(auth_url, 'ugatest2.view.usg.edu', True)
route = 'ugatest2.view.usg.edu/d2l/api/versions/'
url = uc.create_authenticated_url(route)
r = requests.get(url)
print(r.text)
The output is the HTML of a page instead of JSON. If I do print(r), I get a status of 200. I think my redirect URL may be the issue, but I'm not sure what exactly is wrong. Thanks for any help!
Two things look off to me:
Using auth_url to create a user context isn't going to work, that's the URL you need to send the user to so they can authenticate. You need to use the URL you were redirected to after authenticating to build the user context. Assuming redirect_url is that URL, you should be passing that to create_user_context and not auth_url.
ugatest2.view.usg.edu/d2l/api/versions/ is not a valid value for passing to create_authenticated_route, /d2l/api/versions is probably what you want. The SDK will prepend the scheme, domain, and port so including those in the value passed is going to result in an incorrect URI.
Once your app is working properly, you'll be able to access a JSON response by using r.json() rather than r.text.

Retrieving the url anchor in a werkzeug request

I have a DAV protocol that stores out-of-band data in the url anchor, e.g. the ghi in DELETE /abc.def#ghi. The server is a Flask application.
I can see the request come in on the wire via tcpdump, but when I look at the werkzeug Request object (such as url() or base_url()), all I get back is /abc.def. The #ghi has been stripped out.
Is there a method that returns this information, or do I have to subclass Request to handle this myself? If so, is there an example I can use as an inspiration?
I ran into the same problem. Facebook authentication API returns the access token behind a hash appended into the redirection url. In the same way, Flask's request.url drops everything in the URL behind the hash sign.
I'm also using Flask so I think you can use my brute-force workaround using Javascript's window.location.href to get the full URL. Then, I just extracted the piece that I needed (the access token), put it into a redirection URL where I can pass the access token as an argument to the receiving view function. Here's the code:
#app.route('/app_response/<response>', methods=['GET'])
def app_response_code(response):
return ''' <script type="text/javascript">
var token = window.location.href.split("access_token=")[1];
window.location = "/app_response_token/" + token;
</script> '''
#app.route('/app_response_token/<token>/', methods=['GET'])
def app_response_token(token):
return token
In case you manage(d) to do this within Werkzeug, I'm interested to know how.
From Wikipedia (Fragment Identifier) (don't have the time to find it in the RFC):
The fragment identifier functions differently than the rest of the URI: namely, its processing is exclusively client-side with no participation from the server
So Flask - or any other framework - doesn't have access to #ghi.
You can do this using flask.url_for with the _anchor keyword argument:
url_for('abc.def', _anchor='ghi')
