Call a Web API passing API key

Former Member — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:52:20 GMT

I try to call a web API which returns an XML.

It returns 403 error with message: Incorrect or nonexistent API key.

Whats wrong? The API key is correct as also and I pass it as you see below.

DATA : LR_CLIENT TYPE REF TO IF_HTTP_CLIENT,
       LV_URL TYPE STRING value 'XXX',
       LV_BIN TYPE XSTRING,
       LV_BIN2 TYPE STRING,
       LO_CONV           TYPE REF TO CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE,
       LV_RESPONSE       TYPE STRING.

DATA: http_status_code TYPE i,

status_text TYPE string.

CALL METHOD CL_HTTP_CLIENT=>CREATE_BY_URL
EXPORTING
    URL          = LV_URL

IMPORTING
    CLIENT        = LR_CLIENT.

call METHOD LR_CLIENT->request->set_method(
      if_http_request=>CO_REQUEST_METHOD_GET ).

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_HEADER_FIELD
EXPORTING
    NAME = 'server_protocol'
    VALUE = 'HTTP/1.1'.

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_HEADER_FIELD
EXPORTING
    NAME = 'url'
    VALUE = LV_URL."LV_URL.

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->REQUEST->SET_HEADER_FIELD
EXPORTING
    NAME = 'Zxxx-ApiKey'
    VALUE = '8958004E-5BAB-4051-9FCA-62B8704E8336'.

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->SEND
EXCEPTIONS
    HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1
    HTTP_INVALID_STATE         = 2.

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->RECEIVE
EXCEPTIONS
    HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1
    HTTP_INVALID_STATE         = 2
    HTTP_PROCESSING_FAILED     = 3.

LV_BIN = LR_CLIENT->RESPONSE->GET_DATA( ).

CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
EXPORTING
    IM_XSTRING = LV_BIN
    IM_ENCODING = 'UTF-8'
IMPORTING
    EX_STRING   = LV_BIN2.

CALL METHOD LR_CLIENT->response->get_status
IMPORTING
    code   = http_status_code
    reason = status_text.

LR_CLIENT->CLOSE( ).

It's so simple guys! Why can't you answer?

I just want to append an EXTRA header field in HTTP request?

How can I do that without using XI?
