401.1 Unauthroized Rest API

Hi,

I am trying to authenticate to my Rest API. Here is my site:

http://www.jmawebtechnologies.com/rest/ecommerce.sku/all

I am using my administrator user name and password, but I get a 401.1 authorized error. What user name and password do I use? I have basic as the authentication setting in the Kentico admin. Here is my code:

        public List<COM_SKU> GetAllSKUS()
        {
            HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
            handler.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(m_UserName, m_Password);

            HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler)
            {
                BaseAddress = new Uri(m_BaseUrl),
            };

            string url = String.Format("/rest/ecommerce.sku/all");


            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(url).Result;
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                List<COM_SKU> result = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<List<COM_SKU>>().Result;
                return result;
            }

            return null;


        }


Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 9/11/2013 7:37:16 AM RE:401.1 Unauthroized Rest API Did you enable the REST service in CMSSiteManager>Settings>Integration>REST? Also what's your server environment? There are a few IIS features which have to be installed. Check out my post here.

RE:401.1 Unauthroized Rest API

Hi,

It's an issue with the HttpClient. Here is the code works:

        public COM_Order GetOrderById(string orderId)
        {
            HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
            handler.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(m_UserName, m_Password);

            HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler)
            {
            };

            string url =  m_BaseUrl + String.Format("/rest/ecommerce.order/{0}?format=json", orderId);
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(url).Result;
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                data result = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<data>().Result;
                //result is null, even though valid JSON is returned
                return result.Items.FirstOrDefault();
            }

            return null;

        }

Here is my class:

I used basic as my authentication setting. My user name and password is the administrator account for Kentico. I am unable to serialize the results. What am I doing incorrectly?

RE:401.1 Unauthroized Rest API

Hi,

I got this code to work:

        public COM_Order GetOrderById(string orderId)
        {
            data result = new data();
            string url = m_BaseUrl + String.Format("/rest/ecommerce.order/{0}", orderId);
            WebRequest httpRequest = WebRequest.Create(url);
            string userP = m_UserName + ":" + m_Password;
            byte[] authBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(userP).ToArray();
            httpRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(authBytes));
            WebResponse httpResponse = httpRequest.GetResponse();
            Stream responseStream = httpResponse.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
            string resultData = reader.ReadToEnd();
            XmlSerializer _oxs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(data));
            data _Response = new data();
            StringReader _InXml = new StringReader(resultData);
            result = (data)_oxs.Deserialize(_InXml);
            responseStream.Close();
            httpResponse.Close();

            if (result.Orders.Count() > 0)
            {
                return result.Orders[0];
            }

            return null;

        }
