Get Token Programmatically

Тема: Get Token Programmatically

How to get a token from Windows Services for integration to deploy with external services.

Currently I have to get it by accessing https://hosting.wialon.com/login.html

But my Windows services I must implement a function that programmatically get the token.

This is my login function to Wialon:

public Wi_Login LoginWialon ()
{
   var request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest
                             .Create ("https://hst-api.wialon.com/wialon/ajax.html?svc=token/login");

   // Here we need to replace the Token variable with a function that allows me to get one automatically
   // var Token = GetWialonToken (); // Get Expected Token

   var Token = "TOKEN";

   var postData = "& params = {\" token \ ": \" + Token + "\"} ";
   var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (postData);
   request.Method = "POST";
   request.ContentType = "application / x-www-form-urlencoded";
   request.ContentLength = data.Length;
   using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream ())
   {
       stream.Write (data, 0, data.Length);
   }
   var response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse ();
   var responseString = new StreamReader (response.GetResponseStream ()). ReadToEnd ();
   Wi_Login login = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (responseString);

   return login;
}

Get Token Programmatically

Re: Get Token Programmatically

To get tokens programmatically you can acquire super-token (with -1 acl to the top user) via https://hosting.wialon.com/login.html and then create other tokens with token/update by your super-token.

Re: Get Token Programmatically

rual, thank you very much for responding. Your advice has been helpful to me.

After making a few changes implement my function GetWialonToken ();

I have passed all the parameters to the function as follows:

https://hst-api.wialon.com/wialon/ajax.html?svc=token/update&params={"callMode":"create", "userId":"ESPOLGPS", "h":"4b94588f72a6cbf3769af7987b0e46AF5B14419A1219741453BEEA77E288EA7A4AFD", "app":"test", "at":"0", "dur":"300", "fl":"2", "p":"{}"}

But I get an ERROR.

error 7: reason "OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED: for 'create' operation you should be authorized"

Do you know the known reason for the error?

Currently all API requests require sid parameter with session id. Also, "userId" parameter accepts id, not name.

I wrote full example on js (nodejs) to illustrate which requests you need to do:

const https = require('https');

const TOKEN =
    'XXXX6c5XXXX8272XXXX894a47376c1e8F2XXXX2C4XXXXAF08B231D2D60XXXX2CC4F8XXXX';
const API_URL = 'https://hst-api.wialon.com/wialon/ajax.html';
const FOR_USER = 'another';

main().catch((error) => {
    console.error('[main error]', error);
});

async function main() {
    /*
        Login with our super-token to create session for other requests
    */
    let loginResult = await apiRequest({
        svc: 'token/login',
        params: {
            token: TOKEN,
            operateAs: '',
            fl: 0,
        },
    });

    let { eid: sid, au: userName } = loginResult;

    console.log(`Authorized as ${userName}`);

    /*
        Search user by name
    */
    let searchItemsResult = await apiRequest({
        sid,
        svc: 'core/search_items',
        params: {
            spec: {
                itemsType: 'user',
                propName: 'sys_name',
                propValueMask: FOR_USER,
                sortType: '',
                propType: '',
                or_logic: false,
            },
            force: 1,
            flags: 1,
            from: 0,
            to: 1,
        },
    });

    if (searchItemsResult.items.length !== 1) {
        throw new Error(`Found ${searchItemsResult.items.length} users`);
    }

    let { id: userId, nm: foundUserName } = searchItemsResult.items[0];

    /*
        Create token for found user
    */
    let createTokenResult = await apiRequest({
        sid,
        svc: 'token/update',
        params: {
            callMode: 'create',
            userId,
            app: 'Forum example',
            at: 0,
            dur: 300,
            fl: 2,
            p: '{}',
        },
    });

    console.log(
        `Token for user "${foundUserName}" (id${userId}) created: ${createTokenResult.h}`,
    );

    /*
        Logout to cleanup session
    */
    await apiRequest({
        sid,
        svc: 'core/logout',
        params: {},
    });
}

/*
    Function that does API-call

function apiRequest({ svc, params, sid }) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        let req = https.request(
            `${API_URL}?svc=${encodeURIComponent(svc)}`,
            {
                method: 'POST',

            (res) => {
                let buffers = [];
                let totalLength = 0;

                res.on('error', reject);

                res.on('data', (data) => {
                    buffers.push(data);
                    totalLength += data.length;

                            Buffer.concat(buffers, totalLength),

                    if (!result) {
                        reject(new Error('no data'));
                        return;
                    }

                    if (result.error) {
                        reject(result);
                        return;
                    }

                    resolve(result);
                });
            },
        );

        req.on('error', reject);

        let bodyParams = [];

        if (sid) {
            bodyParams.push(['sid', encodeURIComponent(sid)]);
        }

        bodyParams.push(['params', encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(params))]);

        req.end(bodyParams.map((x) => x.join('=')).join('&'));
    });
}

Get Token Programmatically

Re: Get Token Programmatically

rual,
Again thank you very much for your time and support.

I have been able to correctly write the user search function by Name, it works perfectly and I get the data.

But, when creating the token for the found user. I get an error.

The parameters I send are:

param=
{
    callMode:create,
    userId: 1829120,
    app: 'ESPOL', ------>Is this just a descriptive value, or do I have to define it somewhere on the platform?
    at:0,
    dur: 300,
    fl: 2,
    p:{}
}

And I get the error:

{"error": 7, "reason": "CHECK_TOP_ACL_FAILED"}

Do you have any idea?

Thanks for your help.

Looks like original token does not have -1 acl to be able to manage other tokens.

Try to get it with access_type=-1 — https://hosting.wialon.com/login.html?access_type=-1

I am new to this, I hope to continue learning from You Guru !!!
Thank you!!!. Anything I am at your disposal!
