So I try to make a program with JavaFX to upload pictures on ebay with the ebay trading api. I got the first request to get User consent working and I get a response code of 200, which is fine and all. But I have no clue on how to interact with the response. I got it to write to the console. But I need it to open a new window like a browser and after logging in and giving consent get the URL, so I can make a request for the access Token.
This is the code I use to make the request (I'm still very new to the whole api/ HTTP request stuff so, if there is an easier way I'm open for anything!)
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
public class Test {
private final String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Desktop d = Desktop.getDesktop();
d.browse(new URI("https://auth.sandbox.ebay.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=ErikAlav-SandboxT-SBX-c1e8de676-5cd1c434&redirect_uri=Erik_Alaverdyan-ErikAlav-Sandbo-eohtlzvjq&response_type=code&state=HALLO_ES_HAT_GEKLAPPT&scope=https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope"));
Test http = new Test();
System.out.println("Testing 1 - Send Http GET request");
http.sendGet();
}
// HTTP GET request
private void sendGet() throws Exception {
String url = "https://auth.sandbox.ebay.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=ErikAlav-SandboxT-SBX-c1e8de676-5cd1c434&redirect_uri=Erik_Alaverdyan-ErikAlav-Sandbo-eohtlzvjq&response_type=code&state=HALLO_ES_HAT_GEKLAPPT&scope=https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope";
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
// optional default is GET
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
//add request header
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("\nSending 'GET' request to URL : " + url);
System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(inputLine);
}
in.close();
//print result
System.out.println(response.toString());
}
}
The result of this is just the html text of the site (If the exact code is needed I can supply that, but is for now I think way to much info and not important for now).
Thank you for your time!
EDIT: I just thought about it and saw that you can use a webviewer and display and at the same time get the URL. This video helped me the most: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9z1dRPmeUQ
(Hope you happy now ;D )
