Hi, I´m trying to login through the API in C#, but when I try to get
the token response is wrong. It comes with html content instead a xml
content. It´s really weird. I put the code that i use to do it, if
anyone can help me It will be a great help, thanks!

My code:
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://
slimtimer.com/users");
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = "application/xml";

StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
str.Append(@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?
>");
str.AppendLine("<request>");
str.AppendLine("<user>");
str.AppendLine("<email>" + user+ "</email>");
str.AppendLine("<password>" + pass + "</password>");
str.AppendLine("</user>");
str.AppendLine("<api_key>" + api + "</api_key>");
str.AppendLine("</request>");
byte[] bt = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str.ToString());
req.ContentLength = (long)bt.Length;

Stream body = req.GetRequestStream();
body.Write(bt, 0, bt.Length);
body.Close();
WebResponse rsp = req.GetResponse();
StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(rsp.GetResponseStream());
string Result = sr.ReadToEnd();

Response body:

Thanks a lot, those silly things that are in front of the eyes.
Now I´m getting a 500 error. Anything about it? Thanks!

Mariano

No problem. What sort of error are you getting? I was getting an "API Key Required" error and removing "www" from my request URL corrected it. You also want to make sure you're setting the accept header

It throws me "Authentication failed". I´ve set the Accept header, but
still it happens.

Hey, I was wondering if you still have issues?

It was very difficult for me to manage to log in into the API, I could give you a hand here.
