[external CONTACT] Issues Accessing the API

[pccollins2]

Hi Dusty & Michelle,

I figured I'd move the issues from our email thread to here. Following up from my recent email, here is the current issue with UAMNH. You mentioned the previous semester's group (with Ben Brunson) was under the IP of 129.114.., which I have no knowledge of where that IP came from. Does the entire project need to be moved to the IP we are currently using? I've included my reply to your previous email below:

I am unsure as to whether or not the IP address within the AIME Building or UA domain has changed, but our external IP addresses from the computers we are currently working with is 130.160.124.*

Here's the error we get in Visual Studio when trying to search through the front end while running the webpage locally:

System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred. (Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).)'

IP of 129.114.., which I have no knowledge

That's the production UI - it's still up so I presume someone is maintaining it and wants it up?! @jcabbott72

dig +short arctos.museums.ua.edu
129.114.97.203

System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred. (Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized).)'

That's not coming from the Arctos API, if any diagnostics are necessary I'll need to know what's actually happening.

@mkoo (traveling and may be slow to respond) I think this is a request for a dev key for 130.160.124.* but I'm hesitant to just issue until questions are cleared up.

[pccollins2]

After looking further into the situation, that 129.114.97.203 address is the server (TACC) hosting the web application all the way in Texas.

I'm assuming we would need a dev key for 130.160.124.*, but I am unsure as to why this hasn't been an issue for previous teams

Edit: So apparently there was a previous test API key burried deep in the code that allegedly works for 130...* but I get the following error about the request timing out.

[pccollins2]

Here's another view of the error, but on the webpage itself

[pccollins2]

Here is a tracert from our 130...* address to http://arctos-test.tacc.utexas.edu/component/api/v2/catalog.cfc?method=getCatalogData

[dustymc]

Thanks, that helps (but text would be nice!).

I've emailed a new key and test endpoint to @jcabbott72.

[pccollins2]

Hi Dusty,

Thanks for getting back with a new key. Unfortunately, we are still getting an error with the new key/link (thankfully it's not the same one as before).

System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred. (Invalid URI: Invalid port specified.)'

[dustymc]

I need to know the request to and response from Arctos in order to provide any information.

[pccollins2]

[pccollins2]

Is this what you needed, or were you referring to something else? If not, let me know where I can find it

[dustymc]

That is not what I need, Arctos did not make that. I need the actual http request and response.

[pccollins2]

This is what I got as a response in Postman. It included a 401 unauthorized response, but I can't find any specific details. Still not sure if this is what you're looking for, so if not, please direct me on which specific parts you need and where I can find them.

{"error":"Unauthorized","Message":"Invalid API key: (redacted) from 130.160.124.1","recordsTotal":"null","recordsFiltered":"null","draw":1}

[dustymc]

That's better, I'm not sure what happened, I bounced the api, try again please.

[pccollins2]

Still getting the same thing and a 401 error

[dustymc]

What URI are you attempting to access?

[pccollins2]

xxx along with the test API key you provided John Abbot

[dustymc]

Thanks, try now.

[dustymc]

(and please don't post that URL in a public repo)

[pccollins2]

Nothing, still getting the same result/error.

I apologize, I thought the key was the only sensitive part

[dustymc]

How about now? (And sorry for the "wiggle the wires" experience! I fixed a bug, it works for me, I think something's cached, hopefully restarted the last bit of that now.)

[pccollins2]

Still nothing :( We're getting the same error/result

[dustymc]

Blargh, how about now?

[pccollins2]

No :(

[dustymc]

You are not doing anything at all that I can see. Maybe the stuck cache is on your end?!

I dropped the IP restrictions on the key,

{the URL I send you}/component/api/v2/catalog.cfc?method=getCatalogData&guid_prefix=ALMNH:Paleo&queryformat=struct&api_key=18E3D79B-.....

returns data for me.

Do you have some time we can zoom tomorrow? I'd like to see your screen and my logs at the same time.

[pccollins2]

Yes, 5:00pm central works best for my team, but I can make 2:00pm work if needed

[dustymc]

3 Pacific works.

[pccollins2]

Hey Dusty, The API is working, I was testing the API incorrectly the last couple of times, so no need to Zoom. Thanks so much for your help!
