I'm developing an iOS app using the LinkedIn API. Everything works fine but I'm having problems with the "Invitation API"
I don't understand what the "Member ID + auth token" are, I need those to make the call to the server...
This is what the documentation says about it:
Member ID + auth token: If the invitee was found using a search API call, then the search result will have included the member ID and auth token to make the API call. Use both of those to identify the member to invite.
So aparently those are fields that come when I search for the contact using the search API. To search for contacts I do the following call to the server:
NSString *url = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:(people:(id,first-name,last-name,picture-url,headline,distance))?keywords=%#&facet=network,S&sort=distance&count=25&oauth2_access_token=%#&format=json",keywords, self.auth.accessToken] stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:
NSASCIIStringEncoding];
This works fine, and returns what I' looking for but I never get back the "Member ID + auth token". First I thought it was because I was selecting just some fields from the people so I check in the "Search API" if there is some field called "Member ID" or "Auth Token" but there is not. So I'm really lost... where do I found those values?
Any Idea?
I found the answer to get the token to send invites. When performing the search is necessary to add the field "api-standard-profile-request"
After that when performing the search you will get:
<api-standard-profile-request>
<url>http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/T4sKMZ8qEN</url>
<headers total="1">
<http-header>
<name>x-li-auth-token</name>
<value>NAME_SEARCH:1Mlb</value>
</http-header>
</headers>
</api-standard-profile-request>
And that's it... I hope it helps someone!

I've registered an app in Azure AD and given it API permissions(both Application and delegated) to read all AD groups (Group.Read.All, also Directory.Read.All etc). Using this app I am using Graph Service Client to make a call to get user's AD groups.
public async Task<IEnumerable<GroupInfo>> GetAllGroupsOfUser(string mail)
{
IList<GroupInfo> result = new List<GroupInfo>();
IUserMemberOfCollectionWithReferencesPage memberOfGroups = await _graphServiceClient.Users[mail].MemberOf.Request().GetAsync();
.......... More code ........
}
It works fine for most of the users email but for few emails, which are present in the active directory, I'm getting the following exception
Code: Request_ResourceNotFound Message: Resource 'someuser#somedomain.co' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.
Your error is not that you lack certain permissions, and it has nothing to do with which api testing tool you are using. Your error is very simple. As your error message says, it is that you entered the wrong user email.
Your error message has clearly stated that there is no'someuser#somedomain.co' email, because this is not a correct email, it should be .com instead of .co.
So you must make sure that you enter the correct email without special characters or spaces.
This is my test result:

I'm using postman to see the response format of send message api in Twilio. The Api that I'm using is https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Messages.
I have entered the basic authentication parameters (Account_Sid and AuthToken as username and password) the json request format is
{
"To":"My Number",
"From":"Twilio Number",
"Body":"Hello this msg is from postman"}
But I'm getting error 21603 which states "A 'From 'phone number is required". Can you please tell me where I'm wrong. The messages are sent when using Twilio console.
I can't see your Postman but, maybe this is what you're missing...
Click on the Body tab and make sure form-data is selected from the radio buttons.
Also if you go to Twilio docs page (https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/send-messages) you can see the expected response if you click on the OUTPUT link (tab) that is located at the top right of the code sample.
I have two related questions and I hope someone help me because I've been stuck for 2 days
First: mobile phone failed to authenticate
Here is what I have done:
1- user signs up
2- token released
3- token saved in user's device
but then when the same user try to do API requests I get
Rooute to sign up :
$api = app('Dingo\Api\Routing\Router');
$api->version('v1', function ($api) {
$api->post('auth/signup', 'App\Api\V1\Controllers\AuthController#signup');
then I get a token , so I guess everything looks great!
then now when the same device sends a post request to laravel I get this message
"message": "Failed to authenticate because of bad credentials or an invalid authorization header."
this is the route to the post request
$api->group(['middleware'=>'api.auth'],
function ($api) {
$api->post('auth/ios', 'App\Api\V1\Controllers\AuthController#create');
Second: is my method right to save data made by a mobile phone?
Since I couldn't test this method I'd like to know if this is at least one of the right ways to receive data and save it. The reason to save it is because I will show it in a control panel.
public function create(Request $request)
{
$user = new User();
$id = Auth::id();
$user->phone = $request->input('phone');
$user->city = $request->input('city');
$user->street = $request->input('street');
$user->save();
return 'Employee record successfully created with id ' . $user->id;
}
I understand that you are authenticate users based on api token.
Here is what you could do :
set up a column called api_token in users table by adding the following migration
$table->string('api_token', 60)->unique();.This generates a random api token for every user.
send the api_token back to the user's device and save it there
Send it back with every request. Preferalbly set it up globally and send it in the request Authentication request header
Get the authenticated user like so$user= Auth::guard('api')->user();
Laravel takes care of all the authentication stuff behind the scenes.

My code is here: code
Reposted because I wanted to ask a more direct question. How do I switch between unauthenticated user and authenticated? My unauthenticated seems cached and I've used these methods:
[credentialsProvider clearCredentials];
[credentialsProvider clearKeychain];
before the rest of my api code and it still doesn't work. Any help is appreciated
Note: I know it's not working because I make a call using lambda right after I switch up my configuration/credentials provider and only authorized users should be able to call this method.
EDIT #behrooziAWS answer:
API CODE:
id<AWSCognitoIdentityProvider> identityProvider = [[DeveloperIdentityProviderClass alloc] initWithRegionType:AWSRegionUSEast1
identityId:nil
identityPoolId:#"SOMEIDENTITYPOOLID"
logins:#{#"MYIDENTITYPROVIDERNAME": #"MYUSERNAME"}
providerName:#"MYIDENTITYPROVIDERNAME"
];
[credentialsProvider setIdentityProvider:identityProvider];
[credentialsProvider setLogins:#{#"MYIDENTITYPROVIDERNAME": #"MYUSERNAME"}];
[[credentialsProvider refresh] continueWithBlock:^id(BFTask *task){
[self testAuth];
return [BFTask taskWithResult:nil];
}];
Full Error:

IMPORTANT EDIT: I've hardcoded my refresh to use a working token and identityId. so:
self.identityId = #"someID";
self.token = #"someToken";
return [super getIdentityId];
and then ALL my code is working. But obviously this isn't sustainable, I need to be able to make a call to aws lambda to refresh my credentials. But when I set my identity provider, and set my login, I think it's changing me to my authenticated version, but I need to be in unauthenticated to call aws lambda. Please refer to my code link above and take a look at my refresh method to understand what I'm poorly trying to describe. Also please let me know if this should go in a new thread as this is a slightly different question. Not so familiar with stackoverflow's policies on questions.
Another error: [{"Message":"User: arn:aws:sts::445291524102:assumed-role/Cognito_BusyTimeAuth_Role/CognitoIdentityCredentials is not authorized to perform: lambda:InvokeFunction on resource: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:445291524102:function:login"}], SO now I'm assuming my auth provider for my refresh which is incorrect login flow. I'm thinking that I switch this up so that I login in my API class. When I return my identity ID and token, I save them to keychain. Finally, I use the above API code to switch my logins and in my refresh method, I simply return what I found in my keychain. The only problem is I'm not sure if this flow is correct because it doesnt actually "refresh" as I'm not calling my backend. I was wondering if I could wrap the refresh by changing back and forth from my unauth role to my auth role but this seems messy.
[credentialsProvder clearKeychain] will clear the identityId, credentials and any logins, so clearCredentials is unnecessary: clearKeychain Documentation
Normally you don't want to clear your identity id when you transition to an authenticated user. If you simply add your provider and valid login token to the logins map and call [credentialsProvider refresh], you will become authenticated with the same identity id. From that point forward, you will only be able to access that identity if you provide a valid login token. If you want to switch identities by logging out and then login as a authenticated user, that is when you use clearKeychain.
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.
