I used both Fiddler and my test C# application to update my profile information

  • 0

I used both Fiddler and my test C# application to update my profile information in Cliqset.com through their API but I always get 403 error. It works well when I just want to get my profile info, not to update. I use all necessary HTTP headers, like CliqsetConsumerKey and Authorization.
Thank you.
When I try to get my status, I use this:

GET https://api.cliqset.com/user/cosmorocket/status HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic Y**********rZXQ6ZnVsY3J1bTA=
CliqsetConsumerKey: 11**********3c2ccd26c4ca946e3d8e
Host: api.cliqset.com

And it returns this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.2.3.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_3_GA     date=200807181417)/JBossWeb-2.0

But if I use the same credentials for updating with this request:

PUT https://api.cliqset.com/200905/user/cosmorocket/status HTTP/1.1

I get this:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

    I contacted tech support and solved the problem. Each time a new user uses my registered application it’s necessary to make an authenticated GET
    request to ‘https://api.cliqset.com/200905/user/useridentifier‘. Notice that you don’t change ‘useridentifier’ to any other login name, just leave it as it is. This
    will setup the appropriate permissions to update data.
    I did this request and now it works well.
