Soundcloud - Ruby creating a Playlist getting 422 (#soundcloud-ruby) - ruby

I suspect something at Soundcloud has changed because my code has not been altered and worked fine last year.
I see:
Error: HTTP status: 422 Unprocessable Entity, Status Code: 422, playlist_struct:{:title=>"Y11 - REVO - Sop", :description=>"Y11 - REVO - Sop newchoir", :tag_list=>"Sop", :tracks=>"219269586", :format=>"json", :oauth_token=>"..."}
My oauth_token works fine.
I call:
new_playlist = #client.post('/playlists', playlist_struct)
Where #client is defined using https://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-ruby as:
#client = SoundCloud.new({
:client_id => clientId,
:client_secret => clientSecret,
:username => email,
:password => password
})
And playlist_struct is per the error message.
Thoughts appreciated!
Regards, M.
Full code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'soundcloud'
require 'pp'
require 'logger'
def login
# http://soundcloud.com/you/apps
clientId = '...'
clientSecret = '...'
email = '...'
password = '...'
# register a new client, which will exchange the username, password for an access_token
# NOTE: the SoundCloud API Docs advise not to use the user credentials flow in a web app.
# In any case, never store the password of a user.
#client = SoundCloud.new({
:client_id => clientId,
:client_secret => clientSecret,
:username => email,
:password => password
})
# print logged in username
puts"h1. Logged in as " + #client.get('/me').username
# updating the users profile description
end
login()
playlist_struct = {
:title => "Hello"
}
new_playlist = #client.post('/playlists', playlist_struct)
#log.info ' OK: '+new_playlist.permalink_url

Looks like the playlist_struct now needs to include
playlist: {
...
}
Around the content.
As the code worked for a couple of years before hand I'd venture this is a silent change to the API.

OctoKit Ruby Authentication

I'm sure that this is a simple error, but I'm interested in writing a program that collects information on all of my github repositories. While this seems simple enough to do with Octokit, I've run into issues associated with authenticating my session.
client = Octokit::Client.new \
:login => 'MY_USER_NAME',
:password => 'MY_PASSWORD'
puts client
user = client.user("MY_USER_NAME", :headers => { "PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_NAME" => "TOKEN" })
puts user
Unfortunately this results in the following:
GET https://api.github.com/users/mccoleman75225: 401 - Must specify two-factor authentication OTP code. // See: https://developer.github.com/v3/auth#working-with-two-factor-authentication (Octokit::OneTimePasswordRequired)
How does someone go about authenticating their session?
As of January 2022, you can create a PAT (Personal Access Token) in your GitHub Developer Settings and use that to connect through the Octokit client like so:
client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => "<Your Personal Access Token>")
user = client.user
user.login
# => "monacat"
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a PAT. Try to select the correct permissions when creating your token or you'll get back a 403 error with a message explaining the missing scope. You can always go back and edit your scopes later though.
Sources:
Octokit.rb — Authentication
GitHub API Authentication - Personal Access Tokens
Looks like you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled on your account so you'll need to add your 2FA token:
client = Octokit::Client.new \
:login => 'defunkt',
:password => 'c0d3b4ssssss!'
client.create_authorization(:scopes => ["user"], :note => "Name of token",
:headers => { "X-GitHub-OTP" => "<your 2FA token>" })
# => <your new oauth token>

Unable to authorize to a OAuth 2 legged provider

I am trying to authenticate to a 2 legged OAuth(1.0) system from ruby irb as follows using oauth ruby gem,
Step 1:
require 'oauth'
irb(main):038:0> consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new("key", "secret", :site => "site", :scheme => :query_string)
I got a response for this as,
=> #<OAuth::Consumer:0xba14be2c #key="{got valid key here}", #secret="{got valid secret here}", #options={:signature_method=>"HMAC-SHA1", :request_token_path=>"/oauth/request_token", :authorize_path=>"/oauth/authorize", :access_token_path=>"/oauth/access_token", :proxy=>nil, :scheme=>:query_string, :http_method=>:post, :oauth_version=>"1.0", :site=> "https://example.com/">
Step 2:
irb(main):039:0> access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new consumer
=> #<OAuth::AccessToken:0xba144b7c #token="", #secret="", #consumer=#<OAuth::Consumer:0xba147430 #key="{got valid key here}", #secret="{got valid secret here}", #options={:signature_method=>"HMAC-SHA1", :request_token_path=>"/oauth/request_token", :authorize_path=>"/oauth/authorize", :access_token_path=>"/oauth/access_token", :proxy=>nil, :scheme=>:query_string, :http_method=>:post, :oauth_version=>"1.0", :site=>"https://example.com/"}>, #params={}>
Please see Token is empty above. I should have got the token here??
Step 3: Then i tried all the paths which i got from above,
irb(main):041:0> access_token.get("/oauth/authorize")
irb(main):041:0> access_token.get("/oauth/request_token")
irb(main):041:0> access_token.get("/oauth/access_token")
But for all the request am getting response as,
=> #<Net::HTTPNotFound 404 Not Found readbody=true>
I dono where i am making mistake, am i doing the request correctly, if not how should i authenticate to the 2legged oauth system in ruby. Or should i ask the service provider to check on their side.
Token field is empty in step 2, that is the problem??.
Can anyone please guide me in this?? Thanks in advance.
maybe this code will help:
require 'oauth'
consumer_key = <your consumer key>
consumer_secret = <your consumer secret>
end_point = "https://www.example.com"
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(consumer_key, consumer_secret, {
:site => end_point,
:scheme => :header
})
parameters = "user_id=1"
resp = consumer.request(:post, '/get_user/', nil, {}, parameters, { 'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' })

How to use google-api-ruby-client with the Google Calendar API?

I've been reading the docs for the Google Calendar API and the google-api-ruby-client library, but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding them.
I have a Rails application that has a front end that lets users create objects called Events, and it saves them in a database on my server. What I would like is, after these Events are saved in the database, I want to call the Google Calendar API to create an event on a Google Calendar (that the server created, and only the server has access to modify that calendar).
I'm having lots of issues figuring out how to authenticate with the API using the ruby library. It doesn't make sense for me to use OAuth2 because I don't need to authorize anything with the user because I'm not interested in their data. I looked into Service Accounts (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ruby-client/wiki/ServiceAccounts), but it looks like Google Calendars is not supported by Service Accounts.
Anyone have any ideas? This is the code I was experimenting with (using Service Accounts):
#client = Google::APIClient.new(:key => 'my_api_key')
path_to_key_file = '/somepath/aaaaaa-privatekey.p12'
passphrase = 'my_pass_phrase'
key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key(path_to_key_file, passphrase)
asserter = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter.new(
'blah_blah#developer.gserviceaccount.com',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar',
key)
# To request an access token, call authorize:
#client.authorization = asserter.authorize()
calendar = #client.discovered_api('calendar', 'v3')
event = {
'summary' => 'Appointment',
'location' => 'Somewhere',
'start' => {
'dateTime' => '2012-06-03T10:00:00.000-07:00'
},
'end' => {
'dateTime' => '2012-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00'
},
'attendees' => [
{
'email' => 'attendeeEmail'
},
#...
]
}
result = #client.execute!(:api_method => calendar.events.insert,
:parameters => {'calendarId' => 'primary'},
:body => JSON.dump(event),
:headers => {'Content-Type' => 'application/json'})
Then of course I get this error message: Google::APIClient::ClientError (The user must be signed up for Google Calendar.) because the Service Account does not support Google Calendars.
I think you'll still need a real google user to host the calendar instance. But once you've got the calendar created under your identity, you can share it with the service account. In the sharing settings for the calendar, just use the email address of the service account (my service account ends with #developer.gserviceaccount.com). With the right sharing permissions, your service account can create/alter the event info, and not mess with your specific identity. From there, you can share the calendar with more people (or public) for their consumption of the mirrored events.
The other hitch I've run into is that it seems you can only authorize() the service account once per expiration period. You'll have to save the token you get and reuse it for the next hour, and then fetch a new one.
I don't know anything about Ruby. But it seems like understanding the underlying REST queries would help debug your problem. I've documented them here: http://www.tqis.com/eloquency/googlecalendar.htm
I was having trouble with this too and finally got a handle on it. The bottom line is that Google Calendar API v3 requires OAuth and you need to setup an App/Project through the Google Developer Console and then request OAuth permission on the target Google account. Once authorization is granted, you'll want to save the refresh token and use it on subsequent calls to get new access tokens (which expire!). I wrote a detailed blog post about this here: http://www.geekytidbits.com/google-calendar-api-from-ruby/ and this is my example script that should hopefully help you understand the flow:
#gem install 'google-api-client'
require 'google/api_client'
#Setup auth client
client_secrets = Google::APIClient::ClientSecrets.load #client_secrets.json must be present in current directory!
auth_client = client_secrets.to_authorization
auth_client.update!(
:scope => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar',
:access_type => "offline", #will make refresh_token available
:approval_prompt =>'force',
:redirect_uri => 'http://www.myauthorizedredirecturl.com'
)
refresh_token_available = File.exist?('refresh_token.txt')
if !refresh_token_available
#OAuth URL - this is the url that will prompt a Google Account owner to give access to this app.
puts "Navigate browser to: '#{auth_client.authorization_uri.to_s}' and copy/paste auth code after redirect."
#Once the authorization_uri (above) is followed and authorization is given, a redirect will be made
#to http://www.myauthorizedredirecturl.com (defined above) and include the auth code in the request url.
print "Auth code: "
auth_client.code = gets
else
#If authorization has already been given and refresh token saved previously, simply set the refresh code here.
auth_client.refresh_token = File.read('refresh_token.txt')
end
#Now, get our access token which is what we will need to work with the API.
auth_client.fetch_access_token!
if !refresh_token_available
#Save refresh_token for next time
#Note: auth_client.refresh_token is only available the first time after OAuth permission is granted.
#If you need it again, the Google Account owner would have deauthorize your app and you would have to request access again.
#Therefore, it is important that the refresh token is saved after authenticating the first time!
File.open('refresh_token.txt', 'w') { |file| file.write(auth_client.refresh_token) }
refresh_token_available = true
end
api_client = Google::APIClient.new
cal = api_client.discovered_api('calendar', 'v3')
#Get Event List
puts "Getting list of events..."
list = api_client.execute(:api_method => cal.events.list,
:authorization => auth_client,
:parameters => {
'maxResults' => 20,
'timeMin' => '2014-06-18T03:12:24-00:00',
'q' => 'Meeting',
'calendarId' => 'primary'})
puts "Fetched #{list.data.items.count} events..."
#Update Event
puts "Updating first event from list..."
update_event = list.data.items[0]
update_event.description = "Updated Description here"
result = api_client.execute(:api_method => cal.events.update,
:authorization => auth_client,
:parameters => { 'calendarId' => 'primary', 'eventId' => update_event.id},
:headers => {'Content-Type' => 'application/json'},
:body_object => update_event)
puts "Done with update."
#Add New Event
puts "Inserting new event..."
new_event = cal.events.insert.request_schema.new
new_event.start = { 'date' => '2015-01-01' } #All day event
new_event.end = { 'date' => '2015-01-01' }
new_event.description = "Description here"
new_event.summary = "Summary here"
result = api_client.execute(:api_method => cal.events.insert,
:authorization => auth_client,
:parameters => { 'calendarId' => 'primary'},
:headers => {'Content-Type' => 'application/json'},
:body_object => new_event)
puts "Done with insert."

omniauth oauth tokens for gmail are invalid

I'm trying to get an oauth token I can use with gmail_xauth (ruby gem)
to look at a user's mail. I first registered my app with google and
then set up devise to request access to mail:
config.omniauth :google, 'key', 'secret', :scope => 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/'
I then go through the outh/openid flow and google prompts me to
approve access to gmail, redirecting me back to the app with a a token
and secret in the omniuth credentials & my Google account lists my app
as authorized to access my data. So far so good.
Now, when I take those credentials and try to use them with
gmail_xoauth like so:
require 'gmail_xoauth'
imap = Net::IMAP.new('imap.gmail.com', 993, usessl = true, certs =
nil, verify = false)
imap.authenticate('XOAUTH', '...#gmail.com',
:consumer_key => 'key,
:consumer_secret => 'secret',
:token => 'omniauth_returned_token',
:token_secret => 'omniauth_returned_secret'
)
I get an error "Net::IMAP::NoResponseError: Invalid credentials
(Failure)".
Interestingly, following the gmail_xoauth README to generate a token
with an same consumer using a python script it does work.
This works for me:
config.omniauth :google, 'anonymous', 'anonymous', :scope => 'https://mail.google.com/'
I'm using the gmail gem, so to connect it looks like this:
gmail = Gmail.connect(:xoauth, auth.uid,
:token => auth.token,
:secret => auth.secret,
:consumer_key => 'anonymous',
:consumer_secret => 'anonymous'
)
I'm passing an authentication object in, but you'll be getting it from the env variable env["omniauth.auth"]. I'm using anonymous/anonymous for the key/secret since I haven't registered my domain with google, but I believe you can here. It'll still work with anonymous/anonymous, but Google will just warn the user.
Google's OAuth1 protocol is now deprecated and many gems have not yet updated to use their OAuth2 protocol. Here is a working example of fetching email from Google using their OAuth2 protocol. This example uses the mail, gmail_xoauth, omniauth, and omniauth-google-oauth2 gems.
You will also need to register your app in Google's API console in order to get your API tokens.
# in an initializer:
ENV['GOOGLE_KEY'] = 'yourkey'
ENV['GOOGLE_SECRET'] = 'yoursecret'
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :google_oauth2, ENV['GOOGLE_KEY'], ENV['GOOGLE_SECRET'], {
scope: 'https://mail.google.com/,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email'
}
end
# ...after handling login with OmniAuth...
# in your script
email = auth_hash[:info][:email]
access_token = auth_hash[:credentials][:token]
imap = Net::IMAP.new('imap.gmail.com', 993, usessl = true, certs = nil, verify = false)
imap.authenticate('XOAUTH2', email, access_token)
imap.select('INBOX')
imap.search(['ALL']).each do |message_id|
msg = imap.fetch(message_id,'RFC822')[0].attr['RFC822']
mail = Mail.read_from_string msg
puts mail.subject
puts mail.text_part.body.to_s
puts mail.html_part.body.to_s
end

Twitter + Grackle, determining the logged in user

This is crazy, but I'm stumped! Once my user has logged into twitter via OAuth how do I determine their username using grackle?
#twitter = Grackle::Client.new(:auth => {
:type => :oauth,
:consumer_key => consumer_key,
:consumer_secret => consumer_secret,
:token => #access_token.token,
:token_secret => #access_token.secret
})
username = #twitter.something_here?
Try looking on here:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-account%C2%A0verify_credentials
It tells you how via the main api how to get the current user information. You could look into hooking this up through Grackle.
