API credentials are invalid

[Jake]

I'm having a problem connecting to the API.  

I have setup an API key and user.  I am trying to connect to the API via the following code:

           

            $User   = "my_user_Name";
            $Key    = "My_key";
            $Url    = "My_url";

            $this->blestaapi->SetVariables($Url, $User, $Key);
       
            $Response = $this->blestaapi->get("users", "get", array('user_id' => 3));

            print_r($Response->response());
            print_r($Response->errors());

I had to change the API file just a bit because the way my application is setup to initialize the class before I can pass the username and key.  So I created a setter method to do that. The Blesta API class now looks like this:

 

	public function __construct() {}
        
        public function SetVariables($url, $user, $key)
        {
            $this->url  = $url;
			$this->user = $user;
			$this->key  = $key;
        }

            When I run the app the error message I get is:

stdClass Object
(
    [user] => stdClass Object
        (
            [valid] => The API user or key appears to be invalid.
        )

)

I have verified that the object does in fact have the username and key with a var dump of the object.  Any Ideas of what the problem could be?

In Blesta, under Settings > System > API Access, you are sure you are using the correct user/key combination? Have you confirmed there are no unexpected spaces before/after either the user or the key?

The error indicates there is no API user match between what you provided via the API SDK and what Blesta has stored in its database table `api_keys`. You can check that table to be sure the user/key are identical to what you are passing via the API.

I just verified that the username and key is correct and there are no additional spaces.

Also I verified that the credentials are working by excuting the code via command line.  They work fine

I just tried in Postman to make sure it was not a problem in my code and it gives me the same things

Ok...That was a painful lesson.  It turns out that that apache was running php as CGI/FastCGI.  In order to make this work you will need to add the following to the .htaccess file

 

SetEnvIf Authorization .+ HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0

Works great now.
