RequestException

[ghost]

Hi, I tried implement the Java code as shown in README, but the following exception is thrown:

com.api.igdb.exceptions.RequestException at com.api.igdb.request.IGDBWrapper.apiJsonRequest(IGDBWrapper.kt:60)

When I use the getStatusCode method it returns "403"

Hello, Can you give me a specific code example? Also 403 is forbidden, have you added your client_id and access token?

IGDBWrapper wrapper = IGDBWrapper.INSTANCE;
wrapper.setCredentials("CLIENT_ID", "ACCESS_TOKEN")

I'm using the same codes that I put in the constants to test on Insomnia and it works.

 TwitchAuthenticator tAuth = TwitchAuthenticator.INSTANCE;
        TwitchToken token = tAuth.requestTwitchToken(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET);
        IGDBWrapper wrapper = IGDBWrapper.INSTANCE;
        wrapper.setCredentials(CLIENT_ID, token.getAccess_token());
        APICalypse apiCalypse = new APICalypse()
                .fields("id, name, platforms")
                .limit(10)
                .search("Zelda");
        try {
            String json = JsonRequestKt.jsonGames(wrapper, apiCalypse);
            System.out.println(json);
        } catch (RequestException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getStatusCode());
            throw e;
        }

I can get your code working by adding my own credentials. And you get this working in Insomnia, can you try pasting the access token directly in token.getAccess_token() (without Bearer keyword). Also if you set a breakpoint in the catch you can check e.request and compare those credentials to what you have and make sure that those work

[ghost]

The same problem continues. I checked e.request and it exactly return id and token that i added directly as parameters. Therefore, i don't know why the 403 Forbidden problem.

[husnjak]

There isn't much I can do without your credentials, as I cannot test your specific account.

I believe that it has to do something with your credentials in code, as I can get this exact code working with my credentials and you said that you can use your credentials in insomnia without issue.

[husnjak]

I've removed your comment because you just posted your credentials for all to see, I strongly suggest that you update your client_secret.

When I used your credentials everything seemed to work just fine, I managed to get a new access_token and I managed to get a response from the API

public static void main(String[] args) {
        TwitchAuthenticator auth = TwitchAuthenticator.INSTANCE;
        IGDBWrapper wrapper = IGDBWrapper.INSTANCE;

        TwitchToken token = auth.requestTwitchToken("client_id", "client_secret");

        assert token != null;
        wrapper.setCredentials("client_id", token.getAccess_token());
        APICalypse apicalypse = new APICalypse()
                .fields("id, name, platforms")
                .limit(10)
                .search("Zelda");
        try{
            String json = JsonRequestKt.jsonGames(wrapper, apicalypse);
            System.out.println(json);
        } catch(RequestException e) {
            // Do something or error
            System.out.print(e.getStatusCode());
        }

    }

Ok, i tried this in Intellij and worked, i should have tried this before 😅. But, i want to use in an Android Studio project, where this error keeps happening.

Yes, I know, you recommend creating a server to use Twitch Auth, but that’s not necessary if I’m testing on just one device, isn’t it? I wanted to see if it worked before create.

Might be threading issues. This is my test of the wrapper for Android

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val policy = ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build()

        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy)

        IGDBWrapper.setCredentials("client_id", "access_token")
        try {
            val games = IGDBWrapper.games(APICalypse())
            println(games)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            println(e.stackTrace)
        }

    }
}

Android does not allow networking on the main thread, so you should wrap this wrapper in something that runs the calls in another thread.

It worked. Thanks bro, this is the second time that I use an API in an android project and in the first time I had no problems with thread. So I didn't even remember that the android wouldn't allow it.

Sorry to bother you with my beginner problems. 😅

Thanks a lot for the help!!!!! 😄
