Unable to retrieve data from client via httpRequest

Question

Kelly Blake · Jul 6, 2021

I have a client that no longer wants to use sftp to transmit their data file to me. Instead they want me to pick it up via a web service.

Email from client:

Here is the postman collection and mocking service to start your development. The API has only one URI parameter {id} for which you need to pass UniqueIdentifier(will let you know exact value later).

https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/mocking/api/v1/links/03a74865-d7fb-4318-a310-7ad2b95361f6/v1/receivables/{id}

attachments: ssrg-exp-api.postman_collection.json, IB006_Response.json

The attachments the client provided can be found in the attached pdf KCS API documents.pdf

When going to the link supplied via a web browser ( {id} should be part of the link ), I see the results desired:

But when I use my code from within Cache, I'm getting html code:

Cache code:

GET^KCSAPI

K  S $ZT="^%ET"
  s id="{id}"
set httprequest = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set httprequest.SSLConfiguration = "HTTPS"
set httprequest.Server = "www.anypoint.mulesoft.com"
set httprequest.Location = "/mocking/api/v1/links/03a74865-d7fb-4318-a310-7ad2b95361f6/v1/receivables/"_id
set httprequest.Https = 1
set httprequest.ContentType="json"
set sc=httprequest.SetHeader("Connection","close")
set status = httprequest.Get("/") ;returns html page
//s status = httprequest.Get("") ;returns msg: {"code":"INVALID_RESPONSE_ACCEPT_HEADER","message":"Error trying to find response for invalid media type"}
//set status = httprequest.Get("anypoint.mulesoft.com/mocking/api/v1/links/03a74865-d7fb-4318-a310-7ad2b95361f6/v1/receivables/9") ;commented out httprequest.Location - returns same html page
if status {
s response=httprequest.HttpResponse //IS JUST RETURNING PAGE
     do response.Data.Rewind()
     do {
     write response.Data.Read()
     } while 'response.Data.AtEnd
}
quit

Can someone point me in the right direction and/or let me know where the error lies in my code. Why am I not able to pull the desired results? (as shown in the screen snippet).

Try this way

K  S $ZT="^%ET"
  s id="{id}"
set httprequest = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set httprequest.SSLConfiguration = "HTTPS"
set httprequest.Server = "anypoint.mulesoft.com" /// CHANGED
set httprequest.Https = 1
set httprequest.ContentType="json"
set sc=httprequest.SetHeader("Connection","close")
set status = httprequest.Get("/mocking/api/v1/links/03a74865-d7fb-4318-a310-7ad2b95361f6/v1/receivables/"_id") /// CHANGED
if status {
s response=httprequest.HttpResponse //IS JUST RETURNING PAGE
     do response.Data.Rewind()
     do {
     write response.Data.Read()
     } while 'response.Data.AtEnd
}
quit

That gives me the following:

D GET^KCSAPI
{"code":"INVALID_RESPONSE_ACCEPT_HEADER","message":"Error trying to find response for invalid media type"}

I added an output of the headers:

SRG>D GET^KCSAPI

Error has occurred <COMMAND> in SRG at 11:38 AM Jul 07 2021
(now saving error/stack information)

Any documentation I can find containing this 'error' refers to making POSTs. I'm doing a GET, so I'm completely baffled....

I think based on your error it doesn't like set httprequest.ContentType="json" Which your browser based version is probably not setting.

That wasn't it. I have commented that line out completely, and I get the same error. (415 Unsupported Media type).

I also changed it from json to application/json (as indicated in the headers retrieved from the server) - Still the same error.

Rich Taylor · Jul 7, 2021

First the content type is not correct. This should be application/json. Next I would add the following statement

do httprequest.SetHeader("Accept","application/json")

This tells the request what type of response your application will accept. The default is text/html I believe which can't be supplied by the api.

Thank you so much!!! Setting the header accept was what was needed.
