Unable to login with rest api c#

[Naveenachary Maroju]

When i try to login with rest api using c# . i am not get any response after request is submitted

below is c# sample code i am using to get all projects which i got from the community suggestions. please suggest

public class JiraManager
{
private const string m_BaseUrl = "http://companyname.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/";
private string m_Username;
private string m_Password;

public JiraManager(string username, string password)
{
m_Username = username;
m_Password = password;
}

private string GetEncodedCredentials()
{
string mergedCredentials = string.Format("{0}:{1}", m_Username, m_Password);
byte[] byteCredentials = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mergedCredentials);
return Convert.ToBase64String(byteCredentials);
}
public List<ProjectDescription> GetProjects()
{
List<ProjectDescription> projects = new List<ProjectDescription>();

string projectsString = RunQuery1(JiraResource.project);

return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ProjectDescription>>(projectsString);
}

protected string RunQuery1(
JiraResource resource,
string argument = null,
string data = null,
string method = "GET")
{
string url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", m_BaseUrl, resource.ToString());

if (argument != null)
{
url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", url, argument);
}

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = method;

if (data != null)
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
writer.Write(data);
}
}

string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials();
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials);

HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

string result = string.Empty;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

return result;
}

I've just noticed that your baseURL is using http instead of https - try changing it to https

[Naveenachary Maroju]

Yes i tried with https. but still same issue . please suggest

[Naveenachary Maroju]

do we need any references to add in console application. before executing that code

[Warren]

I would keep using https, because I think it's required.

I've noticed that this line

string url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", m_BaseUrl, resource.ToString());

has an extra / after {1} which shouldn't be there

Also, the first parameter of RunQuery1 is

JiraResource resource

What is JiraResource? I changed it back to string

I created a new project, copied your code in, made the 2 changes mentioned above plus put my companyname in m_BaseURL. I then replaced your GetProjects function with a simple GetIssue which passes in issue/ABC-123 as listed above and it works. 

Please confirm that you've :

1. Changed http to https
2. Removed the extra /
3. Changed JiraResource to string
4. Changed companyname to your actual url
5. Tried with a simpler call than GetProject

Hopefully this will help you to get going.

I tried with all corrections you said. but still i am having same issue . do i have to check any other settings . please suggest. if you have any sample working code i am trying in c# console application please let me know 

[Warren]

Do you want to post all your code here again, so I can try it? You didn't answer what JiraResource is in your code

[Naveenachary Maroju]

JiraResource  is a enum property to call 

public enum JiraResource
{
project,
myself
}

[Naveenachary Maroju]

Hi Warren,

I tried with multiple methods but i am facing same issue i.e The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. so do i want to do any config setting in my console application. please suggest or if u have sample code that helps me a lot 

[Warren]

Hi Naveenachary

I recognise the code you're showing as mine :-) and know that it has been working for 2 years and is still working, so we need to understand what is going wrong. Is it throwing an error?

What is response showing for your call? Possibly add a try catch block with the code below so that you can see what the response is if there is an exception.

 catch (WebException we)
 {
     Stream stream = we.Response.GetResponseStream();
 }

The other thing to try is a simpler API call initially, maybe

RunQuery1("issue/ABC-123")

where you replace ABC-123 with a valid ticket key from your system. This simply returns all the fields for one ticket.

[Warren]

What is ProjectDescription that you use in your code?

[Naveenachary Maroju]

Yes,with  /project.  i am getting this error  The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized
