Send HTTP POST request to InfluxDB manually with browser - http-post

Hello,
I'm currently using grafana to visualize data from InfluxDB, and would like to use a hyperlink in form of a HTTP request from a dashboard to insert data into the database.
Is something like this possible?

This is possible.
In InfluxDB v1.X, you could do:
curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' --data-binary 'cpu_load_short,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000'
In InfluxDB v2.X, you could do:
curl --request POST \
"http://localhost:8086/api/v2/write?
org=YOUR_ORG&bucket=YOUR_BUCKET&precision=ns" \
--header "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--data-binary '

How to use Bash command line to curl an API with token and payload as parameters

I am novice and first timer to bash. Trying to run bash under command line to invoke an API, by passing token and payload received from two different APIs and are set as parameters. Below is my command. I am trying to add this bash script to a task in AzureBatch service job.
It has 3 curl requests,
First one (Line#1 in the code snippet below)- gets payload by
calling an API. ---- This is working fine, I am able to verify the
payload using the echo statement following the first curl command.
Second one(Line#3 in the code snippet below) - gets token by
calling the token provider ----- This is working fine as well,
verified using the echo statement.
Third one (Line#5 in the code snippet below),This is the problematic command. I am trying to pass the token and payload received from the above two commands and the curl is not able to resolve them.
both token and payload or not resolving to their values..
My Bash COmmand
/bin/bash -c
"payload=$(curl --location --request GET 'http://url/OutreachData')
&& echo -e \"The value of payload is: "'$payload'"\"
&& token=$(curl --location --request POST 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/<<tenantId>>/oauth2/v2.0/token' --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data-urlencode 'client_id=<<clientId>>' --data-urlencode 'scope=api://<<applicationId>>/.default' --data-urlencode 'client_secret=<<clientSecret>>' --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' --data-urlencode 'Audience=api://<<applicationId>>'|jq -j '.access_token')
&& echo -e \"value of token is "'$token'"\n\"
&& result=$(curl --location --request POST 'https://url/api/<<Resource>>' --header 'accept: */*' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer '"'$token'" --data-raw "'$payload'")
&& echo -e \"Result is "'$result'"\""
This is how the third Curl is resolving to, payload and token are not getting replaced as we can see in the authorization header and data-raw elements
++ curl --location --request POST https://url/api/ --header 'accept: /' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer ' --data-raw ''''''''
There should be no need to explicitly run this with bash -c unless you are in a very constrained environment where you simply cannot run Bash by any other means.
The immediate problem is that code like
bash -c "echo "'$token'" && true"
ends up with $token being single-quoted in the shell which you run bash -c from. But the blazingly obvious fix is to not have this complex quoting in the first place.
payload=$(curl --location --request GET 'http://url/OutreachData')
echo "The value of payload is: '$payload'"
token=$(curl --location --request POST \
'https://login.microsoftonline.com/<<tenantId>>/oauth2/v2.0/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=<<clientId>>' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=api://<<applicationId>>/.default' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=<<clientSecret>>' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'Audience=api://<<applicationId>>' |
jq -j '.access_token')
echo "value of token is "'$token'"
result=$(curl --location --request POST \
'https://url/api/<<Resource>>' --header 'accept: */*' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer '"$token" \
--data-raw "$payload")
echo "Result is "'$result'"
If your current shell is not Bash and you need these commands to be run in Bash, a simpler workaround is to put the script in a here document, which drastically simplifies the quoting needs (or if this is in an interactive session, just run bash and run these commands at the interactive Bash prompt, then exit when you no longer want to be in Bash).

Unable to upload files using InvokeHTTP

Im trying to upload a file into Box using the box api through Nifi invokeHTTP
I was able to upload using the postman and trying to replicate the cURL in Nifi InvokeHTTP attributes. But getting the error "the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found"

How to download file(*.txt or *.pdf) which received from GET api response through Curl command?

I want to download files(*.txt and *.pdf) from Ariba site through GET api request and want to automate the whole download process.
Initially I have used Postman for testing purpose which gives me result in the form of file content.
For eg. test.txt file is present on remote site, after GET request from Postman, the result I am getting, it is in form of content of file, so if 'abc' is written in file, I am getting 'abc' as response from test.txt file.
Now if I click on Send and Download button in Postman it gives me option to download file 'test.txt'
I have to automate this process to send GET response and get required file download at specific location. I am trying to use Curl script for this.
I have written corresponding Curl script and tried to execute it.
It gives me response in the form of file content.
curl -X GET \
'https://openapi.ariba.com/api/approval/v1/prod/invoices/INVASINV6-902/attachments/bnMyMDE5LzA0LzAzLzE1MjkyNDE4MQ==?realm=ProjectName&Content-Disposition=attachement' \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 7648d29a-db04-4046-b49c-5daed43a145c' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Host: openapi.ariba.com' \
-H 'accept-encoding: gzip, deflate' \
-H 'apiKey: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache'
I want to write a curl script which will download file at specific location.
For eg. Above curl command give content(abc) from file Test.txt and not file Test.txt as output
Really appreciate your helpCurl Get Response
Postman Get Response
Finally I got answer to the question, I just need to remove -X GET from my curl script and at the end add -o to download file name.
Below is the final code:
curl 'https://openapi.ariba.com/api/approval/v1/prod/invoices/INVASINV6-902/attachments/bnMyMDE5LxxxxLzE1MjkyNDE4MQ==?realm=ProjectName' \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 77876887-xxxxx-42fb-b865-9cf8ff5c2b25' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Host: openapi.ariba.com' \
-H 'accept-encoding: gzip, deflate' \
-H 'apiKey: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
-H "Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary" \
-o "Test.txt"
Above code give me file downloaded at specific location.
Thanks BlackPearl.

Yammer Activity changes Message

Is it possible to use a URL in both a message and an activity in Yammer ?
Using the messages API, it is possible to construct a message which is:
Properly linked (in this example clicking on Title goes to example.com/id/1/); and
Includes an image (placehold.it/100x100).
For example:
#!/bin/bash
GROUP={GROUP}
TOKEN={TOKEN}
curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
--data "body=hello" \
--data "group_id=$GROUP" \
--data "og_fetch=false" \
--data "og_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fid%2F2%2F" \
--data "og_title=Title" \
--data "og_image=http%3A%2F%2Fplacehold.it%2F100x100" \
--data "og_description=Description" \
--data "og_object_type=page" \
--data "og_private=true" \
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages.json
Using the activity API it is possible to make an Open Graph object:
Example:
#!/bin/bash
TOKEN={TOKEN}
EMAIL={EMAIL}
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-d '{"activity":{"actor":{"email":"'$EMAIL'"},"action":"create","object":{"url":"http://www.example.com/id/1/","image":"http://placehold.it/110x110","title":"Title","type":"page"}},"private":"false","message":"This is an update"}' \
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/activity.json
The problem is that now the original message from Step 1:
No longer links to the actual content (it links to https://www.yammer.com/{network}/graph/{id})
Loses its image (it is now mug0.assets-yammer.com/mugshot/images/75x75/3rd_party.png)
As an aside, the open graph object doesn't update for the new image provided in the activity post (110x110 vs 100x100). The docs (https://developer.yammer.com/v1.0/docs/open-graph) say "when an OG object exists (with the same URL), it is updated appropriately."
In one example you have the open graph object set to private and the other is to public. That may be causing the weird issue you are seeing.

How to insert data into HBase through StarGate REST API

According to the StarGate documentation, this is how a CURL command should look like:
% curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data '[...]' http://localhost:8000/test/testrow/test:testcolumn
This is what I'm trying:
% curl -X POST -H "Accept: text/xml" --data '[<CellSet><Row key="cm93MQ=="><Cell column="dGl0bGU6YQ==">d29ya2Vk</Cell></Row></CellSet>]' http://localhost:8080/test/row1/title
Keep getting HTTP 415, Unsupported Media Type.. any ideas what I'm missing there?
Your current curl options specify you'd like XML output, and curl is assuming you are posting url-encoded form data (and specifying the wrong Content-Type in the HTTP headers).
Amend your -H "Accept: text/xml" to -H "Content-Type: text/xml" and you should be good
