500 Server Error using Reporting API/Perl

[Jason Funk]

I'm probably just doing something wrong, but I'm unsure what it is:

I use the ClientLogin Authentication to generate a token, then use the following (in test phase) Perl code to submit a request:

my $lwp = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $xml = <<EOM;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rest xmlns="google:accounts:rest:protocol"
    xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance ">
    <type>Report</type>
    <token>$auth_token</token>
    <domain>$domain</domain>
    <date>2011-08-04</date>
    <reportType>daily</reportType>
    <reportName>accounts</reportName>
</rest>
EOM

my $url = 'https://www.google.com/hosted/services/v1.0/reports/ReportingData';
$response = $lwp->post($url,
    'Content_Type' => 'application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8',
    'Content' => $xml
);

And the response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hs:rest xmlns:hs="google:accounts:rest:protocol">
    <hs:status>Failure(2001)</hs:status>
    <hs:reason>InternalError(1011)</hs:reason>
    <hs:extendedMessage>No extended message available for this error.</hs:extendedMessage>
    <hs:result></hs:result>
    <hs:type></hs:type>
</hs:rest>

Am I required to encode the xml like with standard POSTs?  Pass it in with a certain variable name?  Or is there possibly an issue right now with the API?

Any/all help is MUCH appreciated.

THANX!

I've only ever been able to get the Reporting API working using OAuth - ClientLogin has never worked for me, and gives me the same error that you see. It could be me doing something wrong but I remember spending a couple of hours on it at the time before giving up and switching to OAuth.

For what it's worth you could take a look at sample code in some other languages - http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-reporting-api-client/downloads/list.  The Python version is using Client Login rather than OAuth.

Jason,

What authentication token from Client Login are you using?

Please note that the Reporting API uses the SID token and not the Auth token:

Thank you all.  I'll look into the suggestions.  I haven't delved into OAuth, yet, but I need to.  I didn't want to for this particular project since it's just a simple one-off reporting script...

I'll report back with information.

Thanx.
