According to QuickBooks Ruby API documentation, it provides an example of using curl to submit a POST request to the authorization url obtained from Step 1, but right underneath it, it shows that if the web application doesn't support browsers, to use Playground or a web component.
My question is – is it actually possible to use the curl command as shown in the example? If I take the exact URL and try to establish a POST request, I get the following results:
bash-3.2$ curl -X POST "https://appcenter.intuit.com/connect/oauth2?client_id=[redacted]&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting&state=be17472c59724eb46bfe2690"

<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>
bash-3.2$
Obviously it's trying to redirect to another URL, but the API documentation doesn't show the usage of the -L parameter to follow redirects. If I try to provide the -L parameter for curl to follow redirects, then I get the following response:
bash-3.2$ curl -X POST "https://appcenter.intuit.com/connect/oauth2?client_id=[redacted]&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting&state=be17472c59724eb46bfe2690" -L

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>

</BODY>
</HTML>
Again, doesn't work even following redirects. If I append -I to the curl command, then I get the following:
bash-3.2$ curl -X POST "https://appcenter.intuit.com/connect/oauth2?client_id=[redacted]&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting&state=be17472c59724eb46bfe2690" -LI

If I take the same URL and request it via a web browser, then it just takes me to the redirect callback URL as it's supposed to. I can't figure out why curl isn't doing the same thing. I don't understand what it means by "web component" if I can't even replicate the same thing via curl. I also have another web module that I'm using for GET and POST requests, and they're bringing me to an HTTP200 but not the callback URL.
Any idea how I could accomplish getting this authorization token from the redirect callback URL like it does in the web browser? Here's another example of me trying to do this via the web component in the Ruby script:
[3] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> grant_url
=> "https://appcenter.intuit.com/connect/oauth2?client_id=[redacted]&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting&state=be17472c59724eb46bfe2690"
[4] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response = WebRequest.new.get_request(grant_url)
=> #<Net::HTTPMovedPermanently 301 Moved Permanently readbody=true>
[5] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response['Location']
=> "https://appcenter.intuit.com/app/connect/oauth2?client_id=[redacted]&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting&state=be17472c59724eb46bfe2690"
[6] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response = WebRequest.new.get_request(response['Location'])
=> #<Net::HTTPFound 302 Found readbody=true>
[7] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response['Location']
=> "https://accounts.intuit.com/index.html?partner_uid_button=google&offering_id=Intuit.sbg-fms.ippdevx&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fappcenter.intuit.com%2Fapp%2Fconnect%2Foauth2%3Fclient_id%3D[redacted]%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flocalhost%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dcom.intuit.quickbooks.accounting%26state%3Dbe17472c59724eb46bfe2690"
[8] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response = WebRequest.new.get_request(response['Location'])
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
[9] pry(#<QuickBooksAPI>)> response.uri
=> #<URI::HTTPS https://accounts.intuit.com/index.html?partner_uid_button=google&offering_id=Intuit.sbg-fms.ippdevx&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fappcenter.intuit.com%2Fapp%2Fconnect%2Foauth2%3Fclient_id%3D[redacted]%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flocalhost%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dcom.intuit.quickbooks.accounting%26state%3Dbe17472c59724eb46bfe2690>
This time it sends me to a 200 but it never actually sends me to the callback/redirect URL.
I'm just simply trying to complete step 2 but cannot do so without a browser it seems, even using "web components" and curl.
Am I just going to have to manually use OAuth Playground and continuously just refresh my token since my API is all backend and no front-end/user redirect, etc.?
The OAuth grant flow needs your end user to grant your authenticate your application before you call API using access tokens. So here is what you process would look like
Present your user with a Connect to Intuit (or equivalent) button
User Clicks on the button and goes through authentication on intuit website (seems like the first bit of code you have inserted in your question. This cannot be automated)
Intuit redirects to the redirect url with a authorization_code
Rest is automated - Your browser or server takes the authorization_code from the url, combines it with a few other parameters and requests for an access_token
You can then continue to use the access_token to make your calls on behalf of the end user.
From Step3. onwards you can use curl to process all of it. Hope this helps :)
EDIT
No, In your case you would use OAuth differently. Using the Oauth Playground will take create an initial access_token for you. Steps 1-4 are taken care of.
Now you can use this token to authenticate all your API calls. However, the token will expire. So when you do get an expired response then you have to do a curl to fetch a new token using the info here...

So I am trying to test the file upload function of this website: http://the-v.net/en/vtube/upload-video through JMETER but to be successful, the user has to be logged in through this form: http://the-v.net/login, Now, I think this is a parameter-based authentication which could be solved by defining a valid username and password in the HTTP Authorization Manager config element, but even doing so I keep getting this error:

I would suggest you record the upload in the browser and look in View Results Tree the headers/ coookies that are transmitted.
You can use File > Template. > Recording
Read:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.html
You are most probably missing:
A header
A cookie
A parameter
You need to be logged in in order to be able to upload anything. HTTP Authorization Manager won't help as it is designed to deal with protocol level authentication and you need cookie-based one.
Add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
Pay attention to form_build_id dynamic parameter you need to pass along with credentials during login request
So your test plan should look like:
1st HTTP Request - open login page
Post-Processor (i.e. CSS/JQuery Extractor to fetch form_build_id
2nd HTTP Request - perform login - provide credentials and the form_build_id from the previous step. You will also need to pass form_id parameter with the value of MYFORM_form
3rd HTTP Request - perform the upload.
I try to use fetch list of Calendar Resources (https://support.google.com/a/answer/60766?hl=en) from my company's Google Apps, using Google API. I try to use it using OAuth 2.0 Playground page (https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground). What I do:
1. I select scope & authorize API with my company's admin account and using this scope https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/calendar/resource/
2. I xchange authorization code for tokens
3. I put a requested URL: https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/calendar/resource/2.0/my-company-domain-url/
4. I send request and I get error:

I've already enabled this API in Developers Console.
Question: what else do I need to do to make it work, i.e. be able to fetch calendar resources list?
I was simply missing the enabled flag for Administrative API access, described here:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/60757?hl=en
second thing, more obvious is that only domain admins have access to this API.
Additionally, I've just found that in version 1.21 of Admin-SDK Java Client library (com.google.apis:google-api-services-admin-directory) Google added support for Calendar Resources! So all you need to do now is:
Directory.resources().calendars().list("my_customer").execute();
The scope is new: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.resource.calendar so one needs to authorize it API in Google Apps Admin console.
You might want to try this link, https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/acl/list.
This should give you a list of resources.
Here is a link for the Overview info, https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/acl.
I hope it helps.
I'm trying to build a simple script using the Pocket API and I'm getting a 400 bad request when following the documentation on the site. Here is what I get:

In a search to find out which x-error code was giving me a 400, I found that it's giving me a missing consumer key. I'm at a loss since this is a brand new key and I am certainly using it correctly. Any thoughts?
You are sending the consumer_key and redirect_uri as url parameters ?consumer_key=xxxxxx..
The correct way is to send them as form-data parameters:
I am not using the SBT, but making direct REST calls with Abdera to the current version of Connections on IBM SmartCloud. REST URL in question: https://apps.na.collabserv.com/search/serviceconfigs
Observations
When testing from my laptop (using Firefox and the REST client add-on,) this works as expected. I get back an ATOM feed.
When testing from a server (on a different network,) using the same method (Firefox + REST client,) I get back HTML that is a log-in page.
In addition, I get this same result when I call the URL from a Java program on the same server.
In all cases, I am using the same credentials with basic authentication.
Update: If I log into SmartCloud first, on a separate tab in Firefox on the server, then call the URL as before, from another tab, it works. I get the ATOM feed as desired. Naturally, this is unsuitable as a solution, but I present it as additional information that could lead to an actual solution.
Update: Further testing shows that the local (laptop) log-in exhibits the same behavior as the server. A form-based log-in is required from the same browser, then subsequent REST calls work.
Update: Here is a relevant simplified code snippet:
private static Abdera ABDERA = new Abdera();
private static AbderaClient ABDERA_CLIENT = new AbderaClient(ABDERA);
...
String host = "https://apps.na.collabserv.com";
ABDERA_CLIENT.addCredentials(host, AuthScope.ANY_REALM, "basic", new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "password"));
...
ClientResponse response = ABDERA_CLIENT.get("https://apps.na.collabserv.com/search/serviceconfigs");
Summary
It appears that something about the originating server or the call is causing SmartCloud to respond with a log-in page. Whereas, the same call and credentials from my laptop, work as expected.
Question
Where should I start to trouble-shoot this? How can I build the client credentials to allow programmatic log-in?

I'm getting some odd response back from shopify ajaxapi for jsonp.
If you cURL a Shopify ajax api location
http://storename.domain.com/cart.json?callback=handler
you will get a jsonp response. But something is breaking the same request in browsers.
It appears to be related to compression? Here are some responses from each browser when attempting to call the jsonp as documented.
Firefox: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
