Unable to get a token with the API using fetch/axios or Postman

[jesuismaxime]

I don't know if it's the right place or event if this repo is maintain, but I'll give it a chance!

When trying to get a auth token (using this URL pattern; https://app.activecollab.com/XXXXXX/api/v1/issue-token), I got that response:

{
    "type": "ValueError",
    "message": "DOMDocument::loadXML(): Argument #1 ($source) must not be empty",
    "code": 0
}

I tried with fetch(), axios and Postaman, still the name result.

Here's a piece of what I am using:

        async getToken(username, password) {

            const data = {
                username,
                password,
                client_name: "...",
                client_vendor: "..."
            }

            try {
                const token = await push('/api/issue-token', data)
                this.token = token
                setToken(token)
            } catch (error) {
                console.error(error)
            }
        }

The push() method:

const push = async (route, data = {}) => {
    try {
        const config = {
            headers: {
                 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
        }

        const response = await axios.post(route, data, config)

        return response.data
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
    }
}

Note that the /api path is a proxy of https://app.activecollab.com/XXXX/api/v1.

Same problem here, are there any solutions for that?

Ok I was able to fiddle it out (for the cloud version at least).
It needs 2 requests:

1. To https://activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login with email & password as payload, to receive an intend (not https://my.activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login)
2. To issue-token-intent path of the tenant api url to receive the token.

Here is the Elixir snippet, but should also work with JS and others.

def get_auth_token(username, password) do
    with {:ok,
          %Req.Response{
            status: 200,
            body: %{
              "is_ok" => 1,
              "user" => %{
                "intent" => intent
              }
            }
          }} <-
           Req.new(base_url: login_url())
           |> Req.post(
             json: %{
               username: username,
               password: password
             }
           ),
         {:ok,
          %Req.Response{
            status: 200,
            body: %{
              "is_ok" => true,
              "token" => token
            }
          }} <-
           Req.new(base_url: api_url("issue-token-intent"))
           |> Req.post(
             json: %{
               client_name: @client_name,
               client_vendor: @client_vendor,
               intent: intent
             }
           ) do
      {:ok, token}
    else
      _ -> {:error, "Authentication failed"}
    end
  end

  def login_url, do: "https://activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login"
  def api_url(append \\ ""), do: Path.join([@base_url, @account_id, "api/v1", append])
