Hi all,
Thanks everyone for getting in touch.
Agustin: The API works for both OPAC and Admin. The /api path is just an alias
to /usr/share/koha/api, so it’s the same thing regardless.
David: There’s nothing wrong with my koha-testing-docker setup, but you made me
think about trying different browsers, and I think it’s related to sessions. If
I use an Incognito window or a different browser, I now get
‘{"error":"Authentication failure."}’ in a browser as expected. The original
browser still gets ‘{"error":"Something went wrong, check the logs."}’.
(Although I think there might be issues with RESTPublicAPI still but I haven’t
cared enough to investigate them.)
Tomas: Nope. This is using Plack. I think it’s probably related to browser
sessions and cookies, which is why it was fine with curl. I didn’t think we
used cookie auth anymore for the API, since it’s not mentioned in the wiki, but
I recall the REST API is sometimes used within Koha now? So I guess that’s how
it uses it? I have noticed that RESTBasicAuth doesn’t work with non-Plack, but
that was unrelated to koha-testing-docker (except I have proved it in
koha-testing-docker).
I think I’m ironing out some of my issues with the REST API. There were lots of
issues due to using CGI and newer versions of Mojolicious, but Ere has solved
the latter. As for the former, that can be a job for another time.

Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] REST API not working in koha-testing-docker?
Hi,
I couldn't help to notice you are using port 8080.. in koha-testing-docker 8080
usually means OPAC, and 8081 is admin.. I do not know if it should work on both
ports, but I usually use 8081.
Hope it helps

I use Postman which has richer authentication options.
Dcook: this is related to not using plack, right?

If I use 127.0.0.1 (rather than localhost) I get responses (on master).
If RESTPublicAPI is disabled I get {"error":"Something went wrong, check the
logs."}

Maybe something is wrong with your koha-testing-docker setup?

Hi all,
I’m finally getting around to playing with the REST API, but it’s not quite
working as expected.
In koha-testing-docker (with the latest koha-testing-docker git repo and Docker
images as of this writing), I’m getting the following in the browser:
1. 200 OK
a. http://localhost:8080/api/v1/.html
b. http://localhost:8080/api/v1/ or http://localhost:8080/api/v1/.json
2. 500 Internal Server error (with no obvious messages in the server logs
other than a missing “Routing to a callback”)
a. http://localhost:8080/api/v1/items
b. http://localhost:8080/api/v1/patrons
c. http://localhost:8080/api/v1/libraries
If I use “curl” or a Perl script, then I get a 401 error instead of a 500
error. (Although in Koha 19.11, I can get JSON results in either the browser or
with curl for those endpoints, but that’s a whole other matter.)
RESTBasicAuth = 1 means I can use the API via curl, but still nothing via the
browser. Which is fine I guess in practice but it’s not really what you’d
expect. I often use browser requests to test out GET requests for APIs.
I don’t really get how RESTPublicAPI works either. If it’s disabled, it says
‘{"error":"Configuration prevents the usage of this endpoint by unprivileged
users"}’, but that doesn’t seem accurate, since disabling that system
preference blocks the /public APIs in general, right? Even if you use a
privileged user, it still doesn’t work.
Actually, even with RESTPublicAPI enabled, I can’t get the /public endpoints to
work. I get errors like this ‘{"error":"Authorization failure. Missing required
permission(s).","required_permissions":null}’.
This email is getting a bit long and I think I have a million other API
problems, so I might just work through one by one and open Bugzilla tickets as
I go…
