HTTP GET request with session key - ruby

Question

I'm a bit of newbie regarding HTTP GET/POST request. I want to use a get request that requires some kind of authorization.
I'm trying to use the following api API DOCUMENTATION.
Under "get list" it says that it wants the following parameters:
Parameters
- Accept-Language: Language prefered in the response. Note: nb and nn will return the same as no header string
- Authorization: Basic auth. The session_id should be sent as both username and password header string
I use the following code to authorize myself, but the last "GET requests" gives an error:
require 'openssl'
require 'base64'
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
username = 'MYUSERNAME'
password = 'MYPASSWORD'
service = 'NEXTAPI'
# Create auth
string = Base64.encode64(username) + ':' + Base64.encode64(password) + ':' + Base64.encode64((Time.now.\
to_i * 1000).to_s)
public_key_data = File.read(service + '_TEST_public.pem')
public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(public_key_data)
auth = URI::escape(Base64.encode64(public_key.public_encrypt(string)),
Regexp.new("[^#{URI::PATTERN::UNRESERVED}]"))
# Setup HTTPS
http = Net::HTTP.new('api.test.nordnet.se', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
# Get status of server
response = http.get('/next/2/', {'Accept' => 'application/json'})
puts response.body
# POST login
response = http.post('/next/2/login', "auth=#{auth}&service=#{service}", {'Accept' => 'application/json'})
puts response.body
data = JSON.parse(response.body)
session_key = data['session_key']
auth_string = "Basic " + session_key + ":" + session_key
response = http.get('/next/2/lists', {'Authorization' => auth_string })
puts response
Not sure what is going wrong here. Or what I need to do. I get the following error.
#<Net::HTTPNotAcceptable:0x007fac74276d20>
Question 1: How do I properly send my session key as both username and password?
Question 2: How would I actually send parameters and headers, and what are the differences?
Question 3: Is there a difference in what will be needed in regards to headers/parameters depending on if I send a GET or POST request?
Thanks

Answer 1

Was able to solve it. Below is the OK code...
require 'openssl'
require 'base64'
require 'uri'
require 'net/https'
require 'json'
require 'cgi'
username = 'USERNAME'
password = 'PASSWORD'
service = 'NEXTAPI'
def http_get(path,params)
http = Net::HTTP.new('api.test.nordnet.se', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
#return http.get("#{path}?", params)
return http.get("#{path}?")
#return Net::HTTP.get(path)
end
# Create auth
string = Base64.encode64(username) + ':' + Base64.encode64(password) + ':' + Base64.encode64((Time.now.\
to_i * 1000).to_s)
public_key_data = File.read(service + '_TEST_public.pem')
public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(public_key_data)
auth = URI::escape(Base64.encode64(public_key.public_encrypt(string)),
Regexp.new("[^#{URI::PATTERN::UNRESERVED}]"))
# Setup HTTPS
http = Net::HTTP.new('api.test.nordnet.se', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
# Get status of server
response = http.get('/next/2/', {'Accept' => 'application/json'})
puts response.body
# POST login
response = http.post('/next/2/login', "auth=#{auth}&service=#{service}", {'Accept' => 'application/json'})
puts response.body
data = JSON.parse(response.body)
session_key = data['session_key']
uri = URI('https://api.test.nordnet.se:443/next/2/lists')
Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
:use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https',
:verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE) do |http|
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri
request.add_field('Accept', 'application/json')
request.basic_auth session_key, session_key
response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object
puts response.body# puts response.body
end
