Sending GET request to API endpoint issues

Matthew_Shelor · June 28, 2023, 3:07pm

I am currently working on a project to get certain values from an API and use the values to make and update tags every few seconds. My problem is that I have tried everything to send a get request to the API, but I cannot get any data from it. From troubleshooting, I think the problem has to do with the URL of the API. The common errors I have gotten are Invalid URL - no protocol, Unable to GET -URL, and a status code of 302 when I need 200. I will post my code below. Any suggestions or help is welcome. My code is relatively incomplete until I can properly read the json data to write to tags.

import system

# API for KE2Evap
def getKE2EvapAPI():
    client = system.net.httpClient()
    url = "http://URL-IPaddress/api/Status"
    response = client.get(url)  # Make a request to the KE2 Evap OEM API
   
    if response.good:
        KE2APIValue = response.json  # Extract the value from the API response
        return KE2APIValue  # Return the API value
    else:
		print("Unable to get API value")
		return None
        

# Function for writing API value to tag
def writeValueToTag(tag_path, value):
    system.tag.write(tag_path, value)
      
	  
#Function to update tags with values from API
def updateTags():
    tag_mappings = {
        "[default]_types_/KE2 EVAP OEM API/FramewareVersion": "current", 	#test tag path and api argument key
     
        # Add more tag paths and their corresponding API argument keys as needed - added once program is working
    }

    KE2APIValue = getKE2EvapAPI()
    if KE2APIValue is not None: 	#if value != null
        for tag_path, api_key in tag_mappings.items():
            value_to_write = KE2APIValue.get(api_key) #get value from get request
            if value_to_write is not None:
                writeValueToTag(tag_path, value_to_write) #Function call to write values to tags
            else:
                print("API key not found in the API response for tag", tag_path)
    else:
        print("Failed to get KE2 Evap OEM API value")

updateTags()

Thanks, should work now

Full error / stack trace or any additional info you have from the current revision of the code would be useful. Otherwise we're just guessing.

I think this is the key part.

You're trying to access this host by IP, but it has TLS/HTTPS enabled, and the IP isn't in the certificate.

pturmel · June 28, 2023, 3:23pm

Looks like your device is redirecting you to HTTPS instead of HTTP, but the device's encryption certificate only accepts access by name (not uncommon). Options:

Configure the device to allow HTTP.
Use a hostname instead of an IP address--one matching the device's own idea about its name.
Change the certificate in the device to include the IP address.

Matthew_Shelor · June 28, 2023, 3:28pm

Thank you for all the help. I knew the device was redirecting to HTTPS and never knew what to do about it, but I will see who can help me change and configure the hostname and certificate, since I don't have those permissions.

pturmel · June 28, 2023, 3:30pm

I suppose there's one more option, but I don't recall how to do it:

Configure httpClient to ignore certificate problems.

PGriffith · June 28, 2023, 4:30pm

You can pass bypass_cert_validation=True when constructing the httpClient.
