Hello
I have an API that I need to POST to from within a C# application. I have the posts working correctly within Postman but
I cannot seem to get the corresponding code working in a Console application. The format of the authentication in Postman
is "API Key" with a key/value pair.
To be honest I am not sure how to map the authorization into C# code, so probably the attached example is wrong.
Does anyone have an example of how to add this key/value pair to the headers and/or have any comments on if I should be adding the
values or use the byte[] that I got from some working code that used "Basic" authentication
My code example is just from a sandpit test.
Thanks in advance.
A 401 (Unauthorized) or 403 (Forbidden) status response points to an issue with the authorization header. A 400 (Bad Request) points to an issue with the request format. I suspect the GetJson() method since it manually creates a JSON string which can be problematic.
Can you share the HTTP status response code and any error returned in the HTTP body?
Hi,
It seemed like I had missed the full value of the Accept header when I went back to look in the Postman authentication page. I (think) that I have faithfully replicated this into C# but
I now get compile errors and 404 when they are commented out.
I have validated the json here and it looks ok.
So the settings in the Postman workspace (downloaded) from PagerDuty.com look like this:
Will post the code next as I have exceed 1600 chars.
For anyone reading this in future this was how I solved it using RestSharp.
