Login Beanstalk API

Question

I’m trying to make an integration with the service of http://api.beanstalkapp.com/ and I’m having trouble making the request in C#, always returns me the error below:

An Exception of type 'System.Net.Webexception' occurred in System.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: The underlying connection was closed: Unexpected error in an upload.

Follow the code:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(urlBeanstalk);
request.Method = "GET";
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(username + ":" + password)));
WebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Answer 1

I created an account at Beanstalk just so I could test this.

There are two things wrong with your code:

1. The requisition nay should be made about HTTPS (I know the example in the manual itself shows this apparently it is wrong)

   Change the address to http://{domain}.beanstalkapp.com/api/users/current.json

2. That’s not quite clear, but it looks like you’re sending usuario:senha in the header Authorization. It is right to send usuario:token. The token must be generated in https://domain.beanstalkapp.com/access_tokens
