Getting Invalid http header / Invalid Data when trying to GET

Question

I am getting an Invalid http header when I try to implement a GET in C#. This GET works when I try it in Postman. But when I run the program, I get the error message below.

This is what the code looks like:

  public static void getObjects(string sessionID)
        {
            var client = new RestClient("https://generic-server.com/api/v10.3/metadata/vobjects/");
            client.Timeout = -1;
            var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
            request.AddHeader("Authorization", sessionID);
            IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
            Console.WriteLine("Here's the response: "  + response.Content + " " + response.Content.Length);
            Console.WriteLine("Here's the error message: " + response.ErrorMessage);
        }

This is what the output looks like:

Here's the User ID: 5228255
Here's the response: {"responseStatus":"FAILURE","errors":[{"type":"INVALID_DATA","message":"Invalid http header [Accept: application/json, text/json, text/x-json, text/javascript, application/xml, text/xml]"}]} 190
Here's the error message:

Any thoughts on why I get these error messages?

Answer 1

Thank you @Michael Wang for responding.

Yes I used Postman to generate the code. As you can see, the code you generated is identical to mine.

The Post command I am trying to execute is as follows:

$ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \  
https://{server}/api/{version}/metadata/vobjects  

However I am getting an invalid data / invalid header

{"responseStatus":"FAILURE","errors":[{"type":"INVALID_DATA","message":"Invalid http header [Accept: application/json, text/json, text/x-json, text/javascript, application/xml, text/xml]"}]} 190  
Here's the error message:  

Can you help me understand why I am getting this error message?

Hi, @Elba

Postman supports to generate code snippet with request setting.
