Hi!

What is returned in resultXMLstr2 ?

what does onFail do ? it seem misplaced in my eyes,
(Yes, I do not know Paradox, but still)

Here is the top of the return. There is a lot more of it.

does not look correct.

I use this code to log in. (Ada) but you should get it anyaway.
I see that you do not set form-url-encoded....

Code:

  procedure Login is
    Login_HTTP_Headers : Aws.Headers.List := Aws.Headers.Empty_List;
    AWS_Reply    : Aws.Response.Data;
    Header : AWS.Headers.List;
  begin
    Aws.Headers.Set.Add (Login_HTTP_Headers, "User-Agent", "AWS-BNL/1.0");

    declare
      Data : String :=  "username=" & Global_Token.Get_Username & "&" &
                         "password=" & Global_Token.Get_Password &"&" &
                         "login=true" & "&" &
                         "redirectMethod=POST" & "&" &
                         "product=home.betfair.int" & "&" &
                         "product=home.betfair.int" & "&" &
                         "url=https://www.betfair.com/";
    begin
      AWS_Reply := Aws.Client.Post (Url          => "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login",
                                    Data         => Data,
                                    Content_Type => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                                    Headers      => Login_HTTP_Headers,
                                    Timeouts     => Aws.Client.Timeouts (Each => 30.0));
    end ;
    Log(Me & "Login", "reply" & Aws.Response.Message_Body(AWS_Reply));
    
    -- login reply should look something like below (522 chars)
    -- <html>
    -- <head>
    --     <title>Login</title>
    -- </head>
    -- <body onload="document.postLogin.submit()">
    -- <iframe src="https://secure.img-cdn.mediaplex.com/0/16689/universal.html?page_name=loggedin&amp;loggedin=1&amp;mpuid=6081705" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" FRAMEBORDER="0" ></iframe>
    -- <form name="postLogin" action="https://www.betfair.com/" method="POST">
    --     <input type="hidden" name="productToken" value="UeJjgdrftgyhujikolleerrtythyDhsrHQkOvHu7alH5NCldA="/>
    --     <input type="hidden" name="loginStatus" value="SUCCESS"/>
    -- </form>
    -- </body>
    -- </html>
    
    declare
      String_Reply : String := Aws.Response.Message_Body(AWS_Reply);
    begin  
      if String_Reply'length < 500 then
        raise Login_Failed with "Bad reply from server at login";
      end if;
    end ;
    
    Header := AWS.Response.Header(AWS_Reply);

    for i in 1 .. AWS.Headers.Length(Header) loop
      declare
        Head : String := AWS.Headers.Get_Line(Header,i);
        Index_First_Equal : Integer := 0;
        Index_First_Semi_Colon : Integer := 0;
        -- Set-Cookie: ssoid=o60xdrtyujhfdssaasddfger6fycB2Dw7eHLiWoA1vI=; Domain=.betfair.com; Path=/
      begin
        if Position(Head,"ssoid") > Integer(0) then
          Log("Login"," " & Head);
          for i in Head'range loop
            case Head(i) is
              when '=' =>
                if Index_First_Equal = 0 then
                  Index_First_Equal := i;
                end if;

              when ';' =>
                if Index_First_Semi_Colon = 0 then
                  Index_First_Semi_Colon := i;
                end if;
              when others => null;
            end case;
          end loop;
          if Index_First_Equal > Integer(0) and then Index_First_Semi_Colon > Index_First_Equal then
            Log("Login","ssoid: '" & Head(Index_First_Equal +1 .. Index_First_Semi_Colon -1) & "'");
            Global_Token.Set(Head(Index_First_Equal +1 .. Index_First_Semi_Colon -1));
          end if;
        end if;
      end;
    end loop;
  end Login;

the actual loginpage will look something like the comment in the code above.
and no, the ssoid above are not valid

Getting Close. Tantalisingly close

The code now reads:-

================================================== ==============

method pushButton(Var eventInfo Event)

var
oaXMLHTTP oleAuto
encodedAuth,
APIKey,
APIpwd string
endvar

RequestURL = "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login"
resultXMLstr2 = ""
err1 = ""
isOK = false

msgStr="username=xxxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxxx" ; note xxxxxxxxx - my current password

try
whichStep = "msXML Open"
if oaXMLHTTP.open("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0") then
whichStep = "HTTP Open"
oaXMLHTTP^open("POST",RequestURL, false)
whichStep = "Set Request Header"
oaXMLHTTP^setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json")
oaXMLHTTP^setRequestHeader("X-Application","<Same App key from the Api Accounts Developer tool with no odd characters in it>")
whichStep = "Send Data"
oaXMLHTTP^send(msgStr) ; sync so it'll wait
resultXMLstr2 = oaXMLHTTP^responseText
isOK = true
endif
onFail
endTry
if not isOK then
errorShow(whichStep)
return
endif

resultXMLstr2.view("Returned") ; have to decode result from JSON

endMethod

================================================== ==============

And what comes back is:-

{"token":"","product":"<Same App key from the Api Accounts Developer tool with no odd characters in it>","status":"FAIL","error":"INPUT_VALIDATION_ERR OR"}

I have tried all sorts of variations of the string but it doesn't seem to process my username and password properly. Its close. Very very close.

If your username or password contains symbols (rather than just standard alphanumerics), then you will need to ensure that they are encoded before being passed to the web page.

Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding

**bnl** · 07-05-2016, 05:23 PM

I still think you need to encode your data (user/pwd),
and tell Betfair that you are doing so.

You tell Betfair by including a http-header
"Content_Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

How you actually do the encoding in Paradox - I have no idea.
Worse case scenario is to find the definition, and implement it yourself

Solved

Finally cracked this and getting a session token back so now have access. The Code to do it, might help someone else is:-

================================================== ===============

var
oaXMLHTTP oleAuto
RequestURL, msgStr, resultXMLstr2 string
endvar

RequestURL = "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login?username=XXXXXXXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXXXXX"
resultXMLstr2 = ""
err1 = ""
isOK = false

msgStr =""

try
whichStep = "msXML Open"
if oaXMLHTTP.open("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0") then
whichStep = "HTTP Open"
oaXMLHTTP^open("POST",RequestURL, false)
whichStep = "Set Request Header"
oaXMLHTTP^setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json")
oaXMLHTTP^setRequestHeader("X-Application","YYYYYYYYYYYYY")
whichStep = "Send Data"
oaXMLHTTP^send(msgStr) ; sync so it'll wait
resultXMLstr2 = oaXMLHTTP^responseText
isOK = true
endif
onFail
endTry
if not isOK then
errorShow(whichStep)
return
endif

resultXMLstr2.view("Returned") ; have to decode result from JSON
