Incorrect API Key

johnbrian.mccarthy user_10770_lastname_invali

I set the API key in my post data as the same one as I set in the Site Options.

https://secure2.convio.net/CLIENT/site/SRConsAPI?api_key=554596D320004366A038F0DA1623A732&v=1.0&no_welcome=f&email.accepts_email=t&method=create&email.primary_address=rvuscdprxwzv%40mailinator.com

This worked fine in the test center at http://open.convio.com however its not in our .NET code.

I'm just trying to signup a user to the email list.

Thanks,

Devon Brown

I would recommend opening a case on the support site. If it is working in test but not appearing your code, I think you should probably go over it with a technician. Hope that helps a bit!

On second thought, I went in and checked your API configuration on the Convio side. You had the CONVIO_API_IP_FILTER property set to 69.104.13.244 but it needs to include an IP and a netmask: 69.104.13.244/24

Try that out and let me know if it works.

I found out my correct CIDR address... 69.104.13.241/28

Added the Convio API Admin user as this document suggests : http://customer.convio.com/site/PageServer?pagename=Help_Admin_ConvioAPIs_SiteConfig

And retried my code with two added fields for the user name and password..

string postData = "?api_key="+convioApiKey;

postData = "&v="convioApiVersion;

postData += "&no_welcome=f";

postData += "&email.accepts_email=t";

postData += "&method=create";

postData = "&email.primary_address="emailAddress.Replace("@,%40");

postData += "&login_name=" + convioLoginName;

postData += "&login_password=" + convioLoginPassword;

Still no go.

What do you get back from your POST? Also, I'm not entirely sure you are POSTing properly. It looks like a GET query string and not exactly like POST data (e.g. you shouldn't have a leading ?. Might be worthwhile inspecting the HTTP traffic (using something like Charles) to make sure it's properly formatted.

For the record, the problem was that the POST was not sending the appropriate content-type header. POSTs to the Convio API must set:

content-type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded
