I was able to get the Swagger Codegen to generate the C# .Net implementation of the client. It’s important to note that I had to add the authorization token to the Authorization header parameter. And add it to the default header (see below).

`    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string clientId = "client id";

            string clientSecret = "secret";



            IO.Swagger.Api.ApiAuthApi authApi = new IO.Swagger.Api.ApiAuthApi();

            AccessToken token = authApi.Login( clientId, clientSecret);



            // set the default authorization header to 'token <your token>'

            // this will add as a default header and be sent on all API calls

            ApiClient client = authApi.ApiClient;

            client.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "token " + token.Token);



            UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);

            User meUser = userApi.Me("first_name,last_name, email");



            string output = authApi.Logout();

        }

    }

`

Didn’t try other looks methods…need a look ID for the other and all_looks() appeared to be the most basic. Any others you suggest I try?

When I change the port in the python script from 19999 to 9999 the call to login fails with a 403 error. Not sure what you mean by “put that port in your api endpoint”.

From what I’ve gathered from your article API communication is over 19999, but typical Looker traffic is over 9999. Or am I misunderstanding?

Fixed it by appending /api/3.0 to base_url e.g. base_url = https://looker.customer.com:19999/api/3.0.

Sorry for any confusion I may have created.

I tried hardcoding them and that got me farther, but now when I try to run a look I get:

That basic syntax works for me, this worked on looker.learn.com:

curl -i -H "Authorization: token <BIG_TOKEN_HERE>" https://learn.looker.com:19999/api/3.0/looks/2938/run/json

Are you still getting a 404?

👍

Hello there!

I’m having a similar problem to @scottmdavidson. But, my base_url is already correct syntax. I’m getting an ApiException: (400) error. It only happens when using functions whose method in the response variable is ‘POST’ (create_user, create_user_access_filter). I am able to run anything else that I’ve tried (all_users, all_user_access_filters).

What I mean by response variable whose method is post:

    response = self.api_client.call_api(resource_path, 'POST',

                                        path_params,

                                        query_params,

                                        header_params,

                                        body=body_params,

                                        post_params=form_params,

                                        files=local_var_files,

                                        response_type='User',

                                        auth_settings=auth_settings,

                                        callback=params.get('callback'))

Any thoughts? Thanks!

You could indeed use the github site and hit “Clone or Download”:

I hope this helps!

Right here while logged in to your instance as long as you are at least a Developer:

Hello,

I’m having similar issues to scottmdavidson and I am unable to run a look as I get a 404 error. See code below:

import swagger_client as looker

import os





client_id = os.environ.get('LOOKER_CLIENT_ID')

client_secret = os.environ.get('LOOKER_SECRET_KEY')

#base_url = 'https://looker.mycompany.com:9999/api/3.0/'

base_url = 'https://looker.mycompany.com:19999/api/3.0/'





unauthenticated_client = looker.ApiClient(base_url)

unauthenticated_authApi = looker.ApiAuthApi(unauthenticated_client)





token = unauthenticated_authApi.login(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret)

client = looker.ApiClient(base_url, 'Authorization', 'token ' + token.access_token)



looks = looker.LookApi(client)

looks.run_look(9669,'json')

The error I receive:

ApiException: (404)

Reason: Not Found

HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Server': 'nginx', 'Date': 'Thu, 29 Jun 2017 19:14:36 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length': '69', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Vary': 'Accept-Encoding', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff'})

HTTP response body: {"message":"Not found","documentation_url":"http://docs.looker.com/"}

I can authenticate successfully and receive a token. I tested that access_token in curl and it retrieves my user info successfully. Any help here to run a look would be great!

Hey,

I still received the 404 error but the issue is resolved. You were correct it was a permission issue.

I re-looked (no pun intended) at the info from my original curl query and found the space id from the curl query was different than the space id from the front end application. I contacted the admin and the admin setup new api keys for the “right” account. Thanks for the help!
