My API return the full host URL, and in Apiary every user has it's own private URL for the mock server.
There's a way to use this URL in the response body?
For now I'm using my own URL in the response body.
Currently, there is now way to do that as responses are statically mocked up. It is planned as the response templating, but there is no ETA yet.

I tried to create a test script in JMeter where I log in by using API. I created a test script by BlazeMeter chrome extension.
Some of my API calls fail because I am getting CloudFront error. I found out the issue is that GET requests contain a request body. GET requests cannot contain a request body on CloudFront. When I tried the same get requests in postman without request body, I didn't get any errors. I got the same error in postman if I added a body request. This way I can confirm this is the issue.
I am looking for a way how to remove body request from subsequent GET requests in JMeter to get rid of this error.
This is the original API call (sampler) with POST login api request:
After the POST request there is a redirection to a page that makes other GET api calls to fetch static files such js files, etc. The problem is that these GET requests also contain the same request body as the original POST call.
As you can see I can fetch statis files if I remove body request:
I tried to add preprocessor and postprocessor for original POST request, but I don't know how to access subsequent GET requests. I can access only original POST request:
Is there a filter or a way how to remove body request from GET requests?
I don't think it's possible, at least not with JMeter 5.5
If you take a look at HTTPSamplerBase source code you will see that the request body is being copied fully from the original HTTP Request sampler:
this.sampler = (HTTPSamplerBase) base.clone();
So the options are in:
Raise an enhancement requests via JMeter Github Issues
Amend HTTPSamplerBase code to remove the request data from generated AsyncSamples
Handle embedded resources download manually using Parallel Controller
I am trying to make a scraper for a page of a supermarket. I noticed that this supermarket make API HTTP calls via AJAX, and if I enter to Inspect > Network then I can see the request headers of the calls I need.
Inside the requests headers there is an X-Token. If I use this X-Token with the URL via Postman I can get all the info in JSON format, which is better than scraping the web.
The problem is that this X-Token expires (I think, it still works). Is there any possibility to make a call to the page and "intercept" this API call in order to retrieve this X-Token and use it for the next custom requests?
I'am using Ruby on Rails :)
I have a server needing to update a shared Google Sheet. It generates special tokens for offline use so doesn't work with PHP quickstart module.
I am trying to setup request in Postman for this action:
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/update
But get the following result:
Is it possible to use HTTP for this API?
Turns out I had to add ?valueInputOption=RAW on the end of my URL request and removed valueInputOption from the request body JSON.
The valueInputOption should be passed as params to the POST URL, it should not be in the request body.
Also the sheetID and the range should be sent in the URL.
I suppose it should be a POST call not PUT.
I have a web crawler on Heroku and I'm trying to call the script from a POST request on Parse Cloud Code httpRequest but I receive a 403 forbidden response basically telling me the Referer Header didn't pass. How can I get past this?
Django's CSRF protection tests the Referer header: see https://docs.djangoproject.com/es/1.9/ref/csrf/#how-it-works. Browsers typically send that header to indicate the page that originated a request, but programmatic user agents don't (cURL, Python requests, and presumably Parse.Cloud.httpRequest) without being told to do so.
To add custom headers to a Parse request, see: Parse.Cloud.httpRequest call with HTTP request header (note the headers object).
That said, you also need to make sure you have a way to get the CSRF token to begin with, and include it either in a XCSRF-Token header or a form field (unclear from your question whether you are doing that).
In my application there is a client and a WCf REST service. For invoking some wcf service the client is doing an http POST even though the service is a GET.
i do not want to do any changes in the client or the service.
So is there a way where i can convert this POST request to GET and add the data coming in as the POST to the URL and invoke the REST service.
Thanks in advance.
You can use URL Rewrite to issue 3xx Redirect which will use GET method, but you will loose all POST data.
The only safe way known to me is to rewrite POST request to some another custom page, where you:
collect all POST data/variables;
convert them into GET variables (assemble proper GET request);
issue 301 (or 302) Redirect to the proper URL (it will have all POST data sent as GET variables).
Such rewrite to custom page should be easy -- you need to check what method is used (POST or GET) and only invoke it on POST. The rest will be handled in that post-to-get script.
The reason for all of this complexity is the difference in how POST and GET requests work: with GET all data is sent as part of URL while POST uses request body to transfer variable's data.
