Issue with donation request

[Atrijit Dasgupta]

Hi

I am sending the XML as:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<donation>

<auth_request>

<email>atr...@gmail.com</email>

<password>fgfgfgfg</password>

<api_key>xxxxxxxx</api_key>

<auth_request>

<refcode>1355285276421#tki...@7casp.com</refcode>

<transactionId>1355285276421#tki...@7casp.com</transactionId>

<email>tki...@7casp.com</email>

<amount>92</amount>

<project><id>1733</id></project><payment_detail><firstname></firstname><lastname></lastname><address>23 Bol Avenue</address><city>Bangalore</city><state>Karnataka</state><iso3166CountryCode>356</iso3166CountryCode><zip>560071</zip><creditCardNumber>9228722562782637</creditCardNumber><securityCode>212</securityCode><expiryDateMonth>12</expiryDateMonth><expiryDateYear>2019</expiryDateYear></payment_detail></donation>

And the Java code snippet that makes the post is:

private String getResponse(String URLStr) {

String requestXml = this.getRequestXml();

System.out.println(requestXml);

URL url = null;

try {

url = new URL(URLStr);

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

HttpURLConnection hConn = null;

try {

hConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

try {

hConn.setRequestMethod("POST");

} catch (ProtocolException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

hConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

hConn.setDoInput(true);

hConn.setDoOutput(true);

hConn.setUseCaches(false);

hConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");

hConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", ""

+ Integer.toString(requestXml.getBytes().length));

hConn.setAllowUserInteraction(true);

DataOutputStream printout = null;

try {

printout = new DataOutputStream(hConn.getOutputStream());

if(printout == null){

System.out.println("Something is Rotten");

}

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

try {

printout.writeBytes(requestXml);

printout.flush();

printout.close();

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

BufferedReader in = null;

try {

in = new BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(hConn

.getInputStream()));

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

String line;

StringBuffer responseBuf = new StringBuffer("");

try {

while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {

responseBuf.append(line);

}

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

System.out.println(responseBuf.toString());

hConn.disconnect();

return responseBuf.toString();

}

I am getting this response: 

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://api.globalgiving.org/api/secure/givingservice/donations?is_test=true&api_key=xxxxxxxx

I am passing the api_key in two places: in the params with the URL, aand within <auth_request> tags inside the XML.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Once I see the response XML I can write the parser for it and close this.

I have masked the actual email ids and api key values,project ids etc, of course.

Hi,  First of all have you requested for your API key to be able to post donations? Please review the terms of conditions document here: https://www.globalgiving.org/to-go/terms-of-service.html

ALso, submitting a donation request requires an authorization token to be obtained prior to the donations call. https://www.globalgiving.org/to-go/submit-a-donation.html

Do let me know if this helps!

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have acquired the API Key needed to post donations. In the code I pasted here, I masked the value.

I missed out on the access token part I think. Can you tell me, is this access token to be collected individually for each request? Or does this have a time bound validity?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

Pl ignore my last reply...the documentation says it is per session. Let me try that out, would revert.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

When I try getting the auth token I get the same error:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><auth_request><user><email>SOME-EMAIL</email><password>SOME-PASSWORD</password></user><api_key>SOME-API-KEY</api_key></auth_request>

2012-12-13 15:48:31,796 ERROR [STDERR] java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://api.globalgiving.org/api/userservice/tokens

I am using the same method as before to post the request. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Thanks
