Making an API Request

Updated on 2025-01-24 GMT+08:00

This section describes the structure of a REST API, and uses the IAM API for obtaining a user token as an example to describe how to call an API. The obtained token is used to authenticate other APIs.

Request URI

A request URI consists of the following:

{URI-scheme}://{Endpoint}/{resource-path}?{query-string}

Although a request URI is included in the request header, most programming languages or frameworks require the request URI to be separately transmitted, rather than being conveyed in a request message separately.

Table 1 URI parameter description

Parameter

Description

URI-scheme

Protocol used to transmit requests. All APIs use HTTPS.

Endpoint

Domain name or IP address of a server where a REST service endpoint is hosted. The endpoint varies depending on services and regions. It can be obtained from Regions and Endpoints.

For example, the endpoint of IAM in the CN-Hong Kong region is iam.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com.

resource-path

Access path of an API for performing a specified operation. Obtain the path from the URI of the API. For example, the resource-path of the API for obtaining a user token is /v3/auth/tokens.

query-string

Query parameter, which is optional. Ensure that a question mark (?) is included before each query parameter that is in the format of "Parameter name=Parameter value". For example, ? limit=10 indicates that up to 10 data records will be displayed.

Request Methods

The HTTP protocol defines the following request methods that can be used to send a request to the server:
Table 2 HTTP methods

Method

Description

GET

Requests a server to return specified resources.

PUT

Requests a server to update specified resources.

POST

Requests a server to add a resource or perform a special operation.

DELETE

Requests a server to delete a specified resource (for example, an object).

For example, in the URI for obtaining a user token, the request method is POST. The request is as follows:

POST https://iam.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/tokens

Request Header

You can also add additional header fields to a request, such as the fields required by a specified URI or HTTP method. For example, add Content-Type that defines a request body type to request for authentication information.

Table 3 lists common request header fields.
Table 3 Common request headers

Parameter

Description

Mandatory

Example Value

Content-Type

MIME type of the request body. Use the default value application/json. For APIs used to upload objects or images, the value varies depending on the flow type.

Yes

application/json

Content-Length

Length of the request body. The unit is byte.

This field is optional for POST requests, but must be left blank for GET requests.

3495

X-Project-Id

Project ID. To obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

No

e9993fc787d94b6c886cbaa340f9c0f4

X-Auth-Token

User token.

After a request is processed, the value of X-Subject-Token in the header is the token value.

Yes

The following is part of an example token:

MIIPAgYJKoZIhvcNAQcCo...ggg1BBIINPXsidG9rZ

The API used to obtain a user token does not require authentication. Therefore, this API only requires adding the Content-Type field. The following is an example request:

POST https://iam.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/tokens
Content-Type: application/json

(Optional) Request Body

This part is optional. The request body is often sent in a structured format (for example, JSON or XML) as specified in the Content-Type header field. If the request body contains full-width characters, these characters must be coded in UTF-8.

Request bodies vary depending on APIs. Some APIs do not require a request body, such as the APIs requested using the GET and DELETE methods.

For the API of obtaining a user token, request parameters and parameter description can be obtained from the API request. The following is an example request with a body included. Replace username, domainname, ******** (login password), and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (project namesuch as cn-north-1) with required values. You can obtain the values from Regions and Endpoints.

NOTE:

The scope parameter specifies where a token takes effect. You can set scope to an account or a project under an account. In the following example, the token takes effect only for the resources in a specified project. For details, see Obtaining a User Token.

POST https://iam.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/tokens
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "auth": {
        "identity": {
            "methods": [
                "password"
            ],
            "password": {
                "user": {
                    "name": "username",
                    "password": "********",
                    "domain": {
                        "name": "domainname"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "scope": {
            "project": {
                "name": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
            }
        }
    }
}

If all data required for the API request is available, you can send a request to call an API through curl, Postman, or coding. For the API of obtaining a user token, x-subject-token in the response header is the required user token. Then, this token can be used to authenticate the calling of other APIs.
