Forum Discussion
Thank you TariqHussain,
I have tried the endpoint with necessary tenantid and customer id with the following code,
<#assign responses=http.client.request("https","api.lithium.com","community/2.0/mytenantid/users/5").json().get()/>
<#if responses.hasError>
There is some error
<#else>
There is no error..
</#if>But unfortunately, i'm getting
FreeMarker template error: The following has evaluated to null or missing: ==> responses.status [in template "test_endpoint.ftl" at line 3, column 24] ---- Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it. ---- Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)?
Could you please guide me how to resolve this error?
jaikumar1 - Why do you want to use OAuth 2.0 process inside lithium, when you can get data using REST API v1 and REST API v2?
I believe you want to get the user data. You can simply get it using REST API v2 e.g below.
SELECT * from users where id = '5'
Using API v1.
/restapi/vc/users/id/5
Basically we just looking for Delete user API, so before i'm trying the user select with REST API, and based on the success i will try the delete user API.
jaikumar1 - You did not add headers and authorization code for this. Also, you can ${responses.error.message} to get the error message. This will be helpful while debugging.
<#assign responses = http.client.request("https","api.stage.lithium.com","community/v1/<tenantID>/boards/id/<id>").header("client-id","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx").header("authorization", "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx").header("Content-Type", "application/json").get()/> <#if responses.hasError> There is some error ${responses.error.message} <#else> There is no error.. </#if>For the authorization code, you need to follow Oauth 2.0. You can use postman to get it and directly pass it to the HTTP client.
However, even after adding headers I was getting an issue API.
http request not allowed: http client not allowed: hostname-lithium-domain-name
I have tried to add api.stage.lithium.com to Allowed HTTP client, however, lithium doesn't let me add this URL. You can try this at your end if you get any success.
Best check this out
“We currently restrict endpoints from calling .lithium.com domains for security reasons."I have no idea why this restriction - it severely limits the V2 API abilities (you have to run an offsite helper mule) - I'd love a detailed explanation of these potential security threats DougS :)
