B4J Question How can i download a file from a server via an API protection ?

[gragey]

Hello

I've some data collected whith Sigfox network and stored on a platform (actoboard.com)
How can I download the file form this platform , the access is protected by a personnal API key.
The file is stored at this url :
https://api1.actoboard.com/providers/~9WvdzsL-pJ5/Test SigFox @way.csv
Can I use the httputils2 library via download or download2 ? If yes how can i transmit the Api key ?

Thank you for your response.

Can I use the httputils2 library via download or download2

Yes (OkHttpUtils2).

If yes how can i transmit the Api key ?

It depends on the web service. There are many possible ways. What does their documentation say?

Thank you Erel for your confirmation about OkHttpUtils2 lib.

No detailed documentation is present.
After contact with Actoboard the message is :

The API key is used for authentification http download file .CSV : the key is the login, and the password is not necessary.

For example whith Curl :
curl -u ${ACTOBOARD_API_KEY}:x "https://api1.actoboard.com/providers/[URL='https://api1.actoboard.com/providers/~9WvdzsL-pJ5/Test%20SigFox%20%40way.csv']~9WvdzsL-pJ5/Test SigFox @way.csv"[/URL]

If you have an idea ?

Bye

Try to set Job.Username and Job.Password.

I try :

job1.Username ="8Sf8icZlaOEKqq_zO3DYxE1FtVgLZKFHD"
job1.Download("https://api1.actoboard.com/providers/~9WvdzsL-pJ5/Test SigFox @way.csv")

and the error is always :

Error: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

I'll search another method to connect to this server.

Thank you very much.

This means that the server certificate is not recognized. You can try it with OkHttpClient.InitializeAcceptAll (with HttpUtils2 source code).
