Get Cookie with HttpWebResponse

I'm trying to get Cookie from HTTP get request with HttpWebReqquest object in c# but I don't find it.
if i execute the next http get reuqest in the browser:
https://www.lefrecce.it/msite/api/solutions?origin=Milano Centrale&destination=Roma Termini&arflag=A&adate=25/01/2021 0:00:00&atime=10&adultno=1&childno=0&direction=A&frecce=false&onlyRegional=false
you can see clearly that there are 3 Set-Cookies:
enter image description here
but when I execute it with HttpWebRequest:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip;
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
res = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
I can see in the headers only 2 cookies and the third one is missing:
enter image description here
so how can I get this cookie from?
thanks.

Just tried this in net5 and I see three cookies:

GDax API GET request always returns Error 400

I'm trying to get the order book from GDAX (link to documentation of the call) but when doing it from the c# executable I always get Error 400 - Bad request.
When taking the actual URL and pasting it into my browser, it works fine.
String URL = "https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/book?level=2";
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(URL);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

The actual issue with your API call is , the API is expecting a user-agent string while making the request: Below is the code in working condition:
try
{
String URL = "http://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/book?level=2";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
request.UserAgent = ".NET Framework Test Client";
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var encoding = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII;
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), encoding))
{
string responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch(WebException ex)
{
HttpWebResponse xyz = ex.Response as HttpWebResponse;
var encoding = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII;
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(xyz.GetResponseStream(), encoding))
{
string responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
Basically ProtocolError indicates that you have received the response but there is an error related to protocol, which you can observe, when you read the response content from exception. I have added catch to handle the exception and read ex.Response (which is HttpWebResponse) and could see that the API is asking for user-agent to be suppllied while making the call. I got to see the error as "{"message":"User-Agent header is required."}"
You can ignore the code inside the exception block, I used it only to see what is the actual response message, which contains actual error details
Note: I have boxed WebRequest to HttpWebRequest to have additional http protocol related properties and most importantly "UserAgent" property which is not available with the WebRequest class.

You need to Accept the certificarte, Google for access to a https webrequest.

How to Response HTTP 504: Timer Time Out JSON

I'm using https://timercheck.io/YOURTIMERNAME/60 to create timer, and when the timer end the API Manager to return both an error code and some JSON content
This is the JSON data when timer end:
{"errorMessage":"504: timer timed out"}
When the timer still countdown:
{"timer":"neo308CCEACbid","request_id":"e54f484e-1e64-11e6-9552-3950b2ec2d5c","status":"ok","now":1463732937,"start_time":1463732935,"start_seconds":180,"seconds_elapsed":2,"seconds_remaining":178,"message":"Timer still running"}
Because of the error code, i get error on Visual Studio and App force close on my Android. I only want to get the errorMessage in JSON. I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin to make this project.
Thanks in advance
UPDATE:
I'm using this to get web response
private async Task<string> FetchUserAsync(string url)
{
// Create an HTTP web request using the URL:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "GET";
// Send the request to the server and wait for the response:
using (WebResponse response = await request.GetResponseAsync())
{
// Get a stream representation of the HTTP web response:
using (var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
string strContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
return strContent;
}
}
}
And call it like this:
CekTimer dataWaktu = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CekTimer>(await FetchUserAsync(url));

I assume you are using HttpClient and GetStringAsync, and that the HttpResponse Status code is a 504 too, like in the Json Content.
The shortcut methods like GetStringAsync all make a call to EnsureSuccessStatusCode, which of cause throws an exception on a 504 (see source here).
You can just make a direct get Request:
var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.SendAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, yourUri));
var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

I found the answer of my problem, because of webservice return error code, just simply use WebException and get the StatusCode like this :
private async Task<string> FetchUserAsync(string url)
{
try
{
// Create an HTTP web request using the URL:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "GET";
// Send the request to the server and wait for the response:
using (WebResponse response = await request.GetResponseAsync())
{
// Get a stream representation of the HTTP web response:
using (var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
string strContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
return strContent;
}
}
}
catch (WebException e)
{
string a = ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusCode.ToString();
//Toast.MakeText(this, a, ToastLength.Long).Show();
if (a == "GatewayTimeout")
{
return "{'errorMessage':'504: timer timed out'}";
}
else
{
internetDropDialog();
return "";
}
}
}
I think it isn't the best answer, but it can help you to move on from this problem

OneLogin Create Session Login Token API returns status 400 with message: Bad Request

I am developing a C# application which needs to use the onelogin API to retrieve a session token. I am able to authenticate and and create a token with the following code:
WebRequest Authrequest = WebRequest.Create("https://api.us.onelogin.com/auth/oauth2/token");
Authrequest.Method = "POST";
Authrequest.ContentType = "application/json";
Authrequest.Headers.Add("cache-control", "no-cache");
Authrequest.Headers.Add("Authorization: client_id:XXXXXXX7bbf2c50200d8175206f664dc28ffd3ec66eef0bfedb68c3366420dc, client_secret:XXXXXXXXXX6ba2802187feb23f6450c6812b8e6639361d24aa83f12010f ");
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(Authrequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string Authjson = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new
{
grant_type = "client_credentials"
});
streamWriter.Write(Authjson);
}
WebResponse AuthReponse;
AuthReponse = Authrequest.GetResponse();
Stream receiveStream = AuthReponse.GetResponseStream ();
// Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format.
StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader (receiveStream);
JObject incdata = JObject.Parse(readStream.ReadToEnd());
string sToken = incdata["data"][0]["access_token"].Value<string>();
AuthReponse.Close();
However, when running the Create Session Login Token with the following code, it only returns a 400 error, and the message has no detail. Just Bad Request:
//Get the session token for the specified user, using the token recieved from previous web request
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://api.us.onelogin.com/api/1/login/auth");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add("authorization", "bearer:" + sToken);
using (var streamWriter2 = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
username_or_email = sUsername,
password = sPassword,
subdomain = "comp-alt-dev"
});
streamWriter2.Write(json);
}
WebResponse response;
response = request.GetResponse();
string streamText = "";
var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
using (responseStream)
{
var streamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
using (streamReader)
{
streamText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
//
}
responseStream.Close();
}
Any ideas?
-Thank you

Also for anyone who may be getting this error. in C# the email is case sensitive. I tried User.email.com. In onelogin it was saved as user#email.com. changing the c# to lower case fixed it.

Can you let us know what payload you're sending across the wire to the .../1/login/auth endpoint as well as the response (either as others have suggested as packet snoop, or just as a debug output from the code)
400 means either bad json or the endpoint requires MFA, so this will narrow it down.
~thanks!

Just joining the troubleshooting effort =) -- I can replicate a 400 Bad Request status code with a "bad request" message when the request body contains a username_or_email and/or subdomain value that does not exist, or if the request body is empty.

Can you post what goes over the wire to the OneLogin endpoint...
OK Thanks. So it appears your subdomain does not exist. If you give me an email in the account I can find the correct subdomain value for you.

Calling Eventbrite API from .Net results in 401

I am trying to retrieve an order from the Eventbrite API. I have a valid OAuth token and order number. I have verified this by using postman which successfully returns the correct JSON.
However when I make the call using the following c# code, I get a 401 Unauthorised:
var client = new HttpClient();
var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/orders/{orderNo}");
req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer {authToken}");
var response = await client.SendAsync(req);
I've tried replacing the header with:
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("{authToken}");
I have also tried:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/orders/{orderNo}");
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer {authToken}");
request.Accept = "application/json";
using(WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
{
using(Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream))
{
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
All of these get a 401 response.
I know the authtoken and the eventid are correct, so there must be something wrong with my code.
Am I doing something wrong with the authroisation token?

Have you tried ?token={authToken} option on the EventBrite API?
This would at least confirm if it's a problem with the way the header is being sent across.
http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/auth/

You omitted the trailing '/' in the URL, which caused a subsequent redirect from "eventbriteapi.com/v3/orders/{orderNo}" to "eventbriteapi.com/v3/orders/{orderNo}/". The authorization header was dropped in the redirect.
