How to fix 400 Bad request error in TestLink API<\/h2>\n

In this tutorial, we will look at a sample issue and fix 400 Bad request errors in executing the TestLink REST API request.<\/p>\n

Error<\/h3>\n

Let’s take an example API call:<\/p>\n

\/testlink\/lib\/api\/rest\/v2\/superman<\/p>\n

This call is used to check the REST API is working on the TestLink Server instance.<\/p>\n

\"400<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Apache Access Log<\/h3>\n

Apache access log entry would be something similar to:<\/p>\n

“GET \/testlink\/lib\/api\/rest\/v2\/superman HTTP\/1.1” 400 326 “-” “PostmanRuntime\/7.26.1”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To view the access log we can use the following command:<\/p>\n

Go to the directory path of the Apache access log.<\/p>\n

Issue the following command:<\/p>\n

$ tail -f access.log<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to take the clue from the Response body which says ‘authentication error’. Ideally, standard Rest API endpoints respond with 401 Unauthorized response code fro authentication problems.<\/p>\n

Fix<\/h3>\n

Check the API key that you have provided as an HTTP header. It should match exactly with the key that you have generated on the TestLink server instance. (https:\/\/www.testingdocs.com\/testlink-api\/)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
