I have something that looks like this:
POST /o/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
Host: accounts.google.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=assertion&assertion_type=http%3A%2F%2Foauth.net%2Fgrant_type%2Fjwt%2F1.0%2Fbearer&assertion=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs
How would I go about using this in Java? I have all the information already so I wouldn't need to parse it.
Basically I need to POST with 3 different data and using curl has been working for me but I need to do it in java:
curl -d 'grant_type=assertion&assertion_type=http%3A%2F%2Foauth.net%2Fgrant_type%2Fjwt%2F1.0%2Fbearer&assertion=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5i' https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
I cut off some data so its easier to read so it wont work.
So a big problem is that the curl would work while most tutorials I try for Java would give me HTTP response error 400.
Like should I be encoding the date like this:
String urlParameters = URLEncoder.encode("grant_type", "UTF-8") + "="+ URLEncoder.encode("assertion", "UTF-8") + "&" + URLEncoder.encode("assertion_type", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("http://oauth.net/grant_type/jwt/1.0/bearer", "UTF-8") + "&" + URLEncoder.encode("assertion", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(encodedMessage, "UTF-8");
or not:
String urlParameters ="grant_type=assertion&assertion_type=http://oauth.net/grant_type/jwt/1.0/bearer&assertion=" + encodedMessage;
Using this as the code:
URL url = new URL(targetURL);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.write(urlParameters);
writer.flush();
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
writer.close();
reader.close();
Use something like HttpClient or similar.
It can post pre-URL-encoded data to a URI, although I don't know if you could just throw a complete request body at it--might need to parse it out, but there are likely libraries for that as well.
Here's a simple example of Apache HttpClient with request body from their docs (slightly modified to show how the execute works):
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://jakarata.apache.org/");
NameValuePair[] data = {
new NameValuePair("user", "joe"),
new NameValuePair("password", "bloggs")
};
post.setRequestBody(data);
int returnCode = client.execute(post);
// check return code ...
InputStream in = post.getResponseBodyAsStream();
See the Apache HttpClient site for more info, examples and tutorials. This link might help you too.

I'm trying to connect with a service to get a token by HttpsURLConnection(using groovy). The connection works ok, I'm getting an http code 200, but I'm getting the response with all strage characters.
responseCode: 200
Response Code : 200
Response Msg : OK
********** LINE: ‹ -̱
********** LINE: „0Ð^ðdë(‰&±¼ ›uD0’¤Pÿ]‰¶3óæ_WMHÄ)¹^a„NÊnÒDÂÒE…×ÞûóʪÞ!§ÈB>6¾Ý—1r|Þ·9rróý(‡¶}ÒD¡LCðPWçB9ÿý
Response: ‹ -̱„0Ð^ðdë(‰&±¼ ›uD0’¤Pÿ]‰¶3óæ_WMHÄ)¹^a„NÊnÒDÂÒE…×ÞûóʪÞ!§ÈB>6¾Ý—1r|Þ·9rróý(‡¶}ÒD¡LCðPWçB9ÿý
The charset i'm using is UTF-8. I've tried by postman and it works ok. I don't know what i'm doin wrong in my code.
connection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
outputStreamWriter.write(Parameters);
outputStreamWriter.flush();
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
String responseMessage = connection.getResponseMessage();
logger.debug("responseCode: " + responseCode);
if(responseCode == 200){
logger.debug("Response Code : " + responseCode);
logger.debug("Response Msg : " + responseMessage);
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = input.readLine()) != null) { //In this while i'm getting the response from service
response.append(inputLine);
logger.debug("\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* LINE: " + inputLine);
}
input.close();
logger.debug("Response: " + response.toString()); //Here i'm printing the response in the log file
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(response.toString());
token = jsonObj.getString("access_token");
If it is not binary stream, but text this certainly seems like an encoding issue.
By using new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()) you will use the default charset - does that match what is in the stream?
Try looking at what the URLConnection is reporting as the encoding/content type : https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html
Then look how a library handles the conversion, for instance:
Apache's HttpClient BasicHttpClientResponseHandler delegates to EntityUtils, have a look at how that works: EntityUtils.java
But overall, why not save yourself the pain and use a library to do this? Several are discussed here: https://www.baeldung.com/java-http-response-body-as-string
I haven't coded in JAVA for years, and am trying to put an algorithm together to automatically make trades based on certain conditions.
I'm hoping to use the Ameritrade API
I've tried sending a cURL message in command prompt and I do indeed get a response back from the server 'Invalid Key'. I'd like to see the 'Invalid Key' response come back in Java as this will prove that I can send POST and receive JSON objects back into Java. From there I will work at authenticating but one step at a time!
Here's the curl message sent in command prompt that works, try it yourself by copying and pasting::
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "grant_type=authorization_code&refresh_token=&access_type=offline&code=&client_id=&redirect_uri=" " https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/oauth2/token
The first thing I'd like to do is be able to send this curl message in JAVA and receive the JSON response back in JAVA
This is what I have for code so far, but I get a 500 error, which makes me think its something with the way im sending the message to the server?
public void trytoAuthenticate() {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
//
//this is the curl message in command prompt you can send to receive JSON response back
//curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d
//"grant_type=authorization_code&
//refresh_token=&
//access_type=offline&
//code=&
//client_id=&
//redirect_uri=" "https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/oauth2/token"
try {
//Create connection
URL url = new URL("https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/oauth2/token");
String urlParameters = "grant_type=" + URLEncoder.encode("authorization_code", "UTF-8") +
"&refresh_token=" + URLEncoder.encode("", "UTF-8") +
"&access_type=" + URLEncoder.encode("", "UTF-8") +
"&code=" + URLEncoder.encode("", "UTF-8") +
"&client_id=" + URLEncoder.encode("", "UTF-8") +
"&redirect_uri=" + URLEncoder.encode("", "UTF-8");
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST"); //-X
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); //-H
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",
Integer.toString(urlParameters.getBytes().length));
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setDoOutput(true);//connection will be output
connection.setDoInput(true);//connection will be input
//Send request
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream (connection.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes(urlParameters);
System.out.println(urlParameters); //added for testing
wr.close();
//Get Response
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream (connection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
rd.readLine();
//StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer(); // or StringBuffer/StringBuilder if Java version 5+
//String line;
//while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
// response.append(line);
// response.append('\r');
//}
rd.close();
//System.out.println(response.toString());
//return response.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
//return null;
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
}
}
A few things:
You need four parameters: grant_type, access_type, redirect_url and code.
You should URLDecode the authorization code you got from the browser login you probably just performed (as per their instructions)
Remove empty parameters, leave only what I mentioned above.
The redirect URL must match EXACTLY the redirect URL you added when you created your APP in the console.
If this is an app (looks like it), you probably have to set the access_type to "offline". Again see their documentation. Depends on your application.
grant_type should be "authorization_code", as that's what you want.
I am trying to make a request to my RESTful API using Android and HttpURLConnection. The data must be sent in the JSON format via POST data.
Here is my code:
JSONObject check_request = new JSONObject();
check_request.put("username", username);
JSONObject request = BuildRequest(check_request, "username_check", false);
Log.i("DEBUG", request.toString());
// DEBUG OUTPUT: {"timestamp":1526900318,"request":{"username":"blubberfucken","type":"username_check"}}
URL request_url = new URL(apiURL);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)request_url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "TheGameApp");
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream();
os.write(request.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
os.flush();
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
String result = "";
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF8"));
String str;
while ((str = br.readLine()) != null)
{
result += str;
}
Log.i("DEBUG", result);
//JSONObject result_json = new JSONObject(result);
os.close();
in.close();
connection.disconnect();
You can see the Debug output as a Comment. The Problem is that the API does not receive any POST data. I have used PHPs var_dump to dump $_POST and $_REQUEST which both are empty arrays.
What am I missing here?
As the question popped up if the API work. This cURL command works fine with the correct result (it is the same JSON data as the debugger printed):
curl -d '{"timestamp":1526900318,"request":{"username":"blubberfucken","type":"username_check"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost/v1/api.php
Just for the sake of completeness: The example above is working. The solution to the problem was pa part in PHP on the server side, where I checked the content type and used strpos to search for application/json in $_SERVER['CONTENT-TYPE'] and switched the needle and haystack (thus searching for application/json; charset=UTF8 in the string application/json instead of the other way around).
I'm trying to send a request through Google's Safe Browsing API, but I'm not getting any output and I'm not sure why. I've searched this online but each solution either only refers to only how to send or receive a POST request (but not both), or the input of data is done differently.
According to the Google Safe Browsing documentation:
Specify the queried URLs in the POST request body using the following format:
POST_REQ_BODY = NUM LF URL (LF URL)*
NUM = (DIGIT)+
URL = URL string following the RFC 1738
-
Response body:
POST_RESP_BODY = VERDICT (LF VERDICT)*
VERDICT = “phishing” | “malware” | "unwanted" | “phishing,malware” >| "phishing,unwanted" | "malware,unwanted" | "phishing, malware, unwanted" >| “ok”
and sent to:
https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/api/lookup?client=CLIENT&key=APIKEY
I found another topic that shows how you send this request, but I'm not sure how to get/print out the response. Here is what I tried:
String baseURL="https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/api/lookup";
String arguments = "";
arguments +=URLEncoder.encode("client", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("myapp", "UTF-8") + "&";
arguments +=URLEncoder.encode("apikey", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("12345", "UTF-8") + "&";
arguments +=URLEncoder.encode("appver", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("1.5.2", "UTF-8") + "&";
arguments +=URLEncoder.encode("pver", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("3.0", "UTF-8");
// Construct the url object representing cgi script
URL url = new URL(baseURL + "?" + arguments);
// Get a URLConnection object, to write to POST method
URLConnection connect = url.openConnection();
// Specify connection settings
connect.setDoInput(true);
connect.setDoOutput(true);
InputStream input = connect.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
// Get an output stream for writing
OutputStream output = connect.getOutputStream();
PrintStream pout = new PrintStream (output);
pout.print("2");
pout.println();
pout.print("http://www.google.com");
pout.println();
pout.print("http://www.facebook.com");
pout.close();
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
System.out.println(result.toString());
Where is the error?
Move these lines:
InputStream input = connect.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
After pout.close();, the getInputStream method actually send the HTTP request to the server, in that example you are sending the request before you fill the body.
It looks like there will be other things to fix after this.
I am trying to send a GET request to the Imgur API to upload an image.
When I use the following code I receive a 400 status response from the Imgur server - which, according to the Imgur error documentation, means I am missing or have incorrect parameters.
I know the parameters are correct as I have tested them directly in the browser URL (which successfully uploads an image) - so I must not be adding the parameters correctly within the code:
private void addImage(){
String data = URLEncoder.encode("image", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/toons/justin_pooling.gif", "UTF-8");
data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("key", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("myPublicConsumerKey", "UTF-8");
// Send data
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL("http://api.imgur.com/2/upload.json");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(data);
wr.flush();
// Get the response
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
Logger.info( line );
}
wr.close();
rd.close();
}
This code is based on the API examples provided by Imgur.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I may resolve the problem?
Thanks.
In this sample, imgur service returns 400 Bad Request status response with a non-empty body because of incorrect API key. In case of non successful HTTP response you shold read the response body from an error input stream. For example:
// Get the response
InputStream is;
if (((HttpURLConnection) conn).getResponseCode() == 400)
is = ((HttpURLConnection) conn).getErrorStream();
else
is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
And, by the way your example is POST, not GET, because you are sending the parameters in the request body instead of the URL.
