Yodlee REST API /authenticate/login returns 415 error

I have created a Yodlee developer account and with the sample provided i am able to do a coblogin ... however if I now do a user login it gives a 415 error.

I am referencing this info: https://developer.yodlee.com/Aggregation_API/Aggregation_Services_Guide/Aggregation_REST_API_Reference/login

This is the rest data i am sending to /authenticate/login I am doing a POST and even sent in the header the application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Array ( [cobSessionToken] => 08062013_0:70f264b74e053e595c3044e554aab5bda7c5d83be1a085f32dc1cd4c48b372dc2201a826f720d9821cf30d6966cc6eb05e7e02f83da19e60e38e21fbc9d59134 [login] => sbMemnathaniel.j1 [password] => sbMemnathaniel.j1#123 )

Solution

  • After much comparing the codes, i've found the culprit to the 415 error code. There are special characters that are invisible to the editor. I've caught the special chars that crept into my uRl by outputting all text sent for post into the browser.

    These were the unwelcome chars ​

    So i have to cut the line of code and retype into the editor to clean up the invisible chars.
